(Deep Cleaning)

Deep cleaning is different from a regular dental cleaning. This type of procedure goes below the gum line. It does this to clean hard-to-reach spots like the roots and pockets at the base of your tooth. A substance known as tartar can build-up around the exterior and roots of teeth. If left unchecked, then this tartar can cause serious bacterial infections.



Deep cleaning appointments are charged by quadrants. The hygienist will identify all 4 quadrants to see which quadrants need deep cleaning. Deep cleaning is a vital part of fighting against dangerous infections. If left untreated worse conditions will develop.
