We recommend deep dental cleanings for patients with severe dental problems. Deep dental cleanings typically complement periodontal treatment plans once plaque buildup has caused your gums and teeth to erode.
This condition can also lead to:
Bleeding and swelling gums
Problems chewing
Tooth loss and decay
Bad breath
Mouth sores
Deep cleanings are a good option for patients who have not received regular dental care. The dental hygienist measures the space between your teeth and gums during your routine checkup. If the pocket is too big, the hygienist will likely recommend a series of deep dental cleanings.
