Deep Cleaning for Gum Disease
in Roseville, CA

Gum disease is sneaky. It usually doesn't hurt in its early stages — just some bleeding when you brush, a little puffiness, maybe persistent bad breath. But below the gumline, bacteria and hardened tartar are quietly attacking the tissues and bone that hold your teeth in place. Left untreated, gum disease is the number one cause of adult tooth loss.

A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) is how we stop it. Scaling removes the bacteria and tartar from below the gumline — where regular cleanings can't reach. Root planing then smooths the tooth root surfaces, removing the rough areas bacteria cling to and giving your gums a clean surface to heal and reattach against.

Your comfort comes first: the areas being treated are gently numbed, and most patients find the procedure far easier than they expected. Treatment is usually completed over two visits — one side of the mouth at a time.

Afterward, your gums begin to heal: less bleeding, less swelling, fresher breath, and tighter tissue around your teeth. We'll set you up with a personalized maintenance schedule to keep gum disease from ever regaining a foothold.
