Deep Cleanings in Pittsburgh, PA
Some patients need specialized periodontal cleaning beyond regular cleaning. Called a deep scaling and cleaning, or scaling and root planing, this treatment can help to stop and reverse gum disease. Gum disease is a major problem in the United States, and the consequences include tooth loss, cardiovascular issues, and much more.
In a deep scaling and cleaning, the team at South Vue Dentistry cleans beneath your gumline and along the roots of your teeth. There is no need to worry – you’ll be kept comfortable the entire time. While you may never end up needing a deep scaling and cleaning, this treatment can be invaluable for resolving gum disease and its symptoms, including bleeding, swollen gums, and bad breath.
