During a routine cleaning, we remove plaque on the surface of the teeth and also use dental polishing to smooth the enamel. If plaque is left untreated, it can harden and require a more intensive dental tartar removal. When there is buildup under the gumline, then it might be recommended that you come back to our dental office near you for a dental deep cleaning appointment. This service is beneficial for treating gum disease and heavy buildup.
Dental scaling and root planing reach below the gumline to fight infection and reduce the risk of inflammation. We remove the hardened deposits, which hopefully will help the gums reattach so that you can maintain healthy gums and teeth. These steps can help to protect your teeth against future buildup.

Plaque is soft buildup on your teeth, and it can be removed by brushing and flossing. But if the plaque is left in place and it hardens, then it will become tartar, and you will need professional tartar removal to clean your teeth effectively.
Because we need to reach below the gumline to remove the buildup, it can be a bit uncomfortable. One option is to use local numbing to ensure your comfort during the gum treatment appointment.
