🧼 Scaling & Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)

Non-Surgical Treatment for Gum Disease | New York Dental Clinic | Daegu Dental Clinic

Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) and moderate periodontitis can often be reversed without surgery through deep cleaning procedures known as scaling and root planing. At New York Dental Clinic in Daegu, we provide thorough and gentle periodontal care to remove harmful bacteria and restore gum health—preventing tooth loss and bone damage.

🏥 What Is Scaling & Root Planing?

This professional deep cleaning procedure goes below the gumline to eliminate plaque, tartar, and infected tissue from tooth roots:

• Scaling: Removes hard deposits and biofilm from the surface of teeth and under the gums.
• Root Planing: Smooths the root surfaces to allow gum tissue to reattach and heal properly.

It’s typically performed under local anesthesia for comfort and is often completed in sections or quadrants.

✅ You May Need Deep Cleaning If You Have:

• Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
• Bad breath that won’t go away
• Loose or shifting teeth
• Gum recession or pocket depth > 4mm
• A history of plaque buildup or periodontal disease

Left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss, jawbone shrinkage, and systemic health issues.
