@emeralddentalclinic254: Deep cleaning is a common procedure used to treat gum disease. They thoroughly clean the #teeth and #gums to remove plaque and tartar buildup. **Scaling**: This is the process of removing plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) from the #tooth surfaces, particularly below the gum line. Special instruments, such as ultrasonic scalers and manual hand tools, are used to achieve this. **Root Planing**: After scaling, root planing is performed to smooth out the root surfaces of the teeth. This helps remove bacterial toxins and promotes healing by making it more difficult for plaque to accumulate. Smoothing the root surfaces also helps the gums reattach to the teeth. #dentalcleaning #dentalhygiene
