    What is Deep Cleaning?
    A tooth deep cleaning involves getting down below the gum line and is also known as scaling. Scaling is simply the removal of plaque, and traditionally it involved scraping the excess tartar from the teeth using dental instruments, and is done manually.

    Why you need to do dental deep cleaning.
    If plaque and tartar is left on the teeth, it provides the right conditions for bacteria to thrive. The bacteria irritate the gums, which means that they bleed more easily. This is the early stage of gum disease called gingivitis. Gum disease can break down the support structures of the teeth, so that eventually, they will become loose.

    Routine dental deep cleanings are your first line of defense against oral cancers, gum disease, ulceration, and easily avoidable oral health problems such as bad breath, gingivitis, tartar buildup, and tooth decay.
