Teeth Cleaning (Deep)
Deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, goes below the gumline to remove tartar and bacteria that cause gum disease. At Ryerson Smile Boutique, this procedure reduces inflammation, eliminates infection, and helps your gums reattach to your teeth. It's a critical step in stopping gum disease from progressing.
What is it?
A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) is a thorough below-the-gumline procedure used to treat gum disease by removing tartar, bacteria, and infected tissue.
How it works?
Using specialized instruments, the hygienist removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline (scaling) and smooths rough root surfaces to prevent bacteria from re-adhering (root planing).
How it helps?
Deep cleaning eliminates the source of gum infection, reduces gum inflammation, allows gum tissue to heal, and stops gum disease from progressing to more serious stages.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Who might consider this treatment?
Patients with signs of gum disease, heavy tartar below the gumline, or persistent gum inflammation that a regular cleaning can't resolve.
What is the typical experience?
Tartar is removed from below the gumline and root surfaces are smoothed to help gums reattach. Local anesthesia keeps it comfortable throughout.
How long does it usually take?
Usually one or two appointments of 60–90 minutes, treating the mouth in sections.
Is there anything to keep in mind?
Deep cleanings are effective for early to moderate gum disease but require consistent follow-up care and better daily hygiene to maintain results.
What should I know about recovery after?
Some gum tenderness and sensitivity for a few days is normal. An antibacterial rinse may be recommended.
