DEEP CLEANING (ROOT PLANNING)
Deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is a non-surgical procedure used to treat gum disease and prevent further oral health issues. Unlike a regular cleaning, deep cleaning targets the areas below the gumline to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria that can lead to gum disease, tooth loss, and other complications.
