that requires attention.

professional cleanings, improved home care, and sometimes advanced treatments
like Perio Protect.

A regular dental cleaning (prophylaxis) is designed for maintenance of healthy mouths.
It removes plaque and tartar from above the gumline, polishes teeth, and helps prevent gum disease.
A deep cleaning, or Scaling and Root Planing (SRP), is a therapeutic procedure for patients with gum disease. It extends below the gumline to remove bacteria, tartar ,and debris from pockets around the teeth, while also smoothing root surfaces to help gums reattach and reduce pocket depth.
The processes differ significantly:
Regular cleaning: Usually completed in one visit without anesthesia, focusing on prevention and maintenance.
Deep cleaning (SRP): Often divided into multiple appointments (treating one quadrant of the mouth at a time), with local anesthetic used for comfort during
this more involved procedure.
You might need a deep cleaning if:
- Your gums bleed easily
- You have persistent bad breath
- Your periodontal assessment reveals deep gum pockets (typically 4mm or more)
- You’ve been diagnosed with bone loss or inflammation
- There’s visible tartar below the gumline or signs of infection

Maintaining your dental cleaning results requires proper technique as much as consistency.
Our hygienists recommend using a soft-bristled electric toothbrush twice daily, flossing with proper technique, and using mouthwash. Consider using a water flosser for enhanced cleaning between teeth.
During your appointment, we’ll demonstrate the most effective techniques specifically for your mouth and dental work.

Perio Protect is a non-invasive treatment for gum disease using custom-fit trays that deliver bacteria-fighting medication below the gumline.
