Why Deep Cleaning is Needed for Gum Disease

When gum disease (periodontal disease) develops, regular brushing and flossing are no longer enough to remove the bacteria and tartar hiding below the gumline. That’s where deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) comes in. At Pain Free Dentist Sydney, we provide gentle deep cleaning treatments to restore gum health and protect your teeth.

What is Deep Cleaning?

Deep cleaning is a non-surgical procedure that removes plaque and tartar from both above and below the gumline. It has two steps:

  • Scaling – removes hardened tartar and bacteria from the tooth surface and root.

  • Root planing – smooths the root surface to help gums reattach and heal.

Why Deep Cleaning is Necessary

  • Stops the progression of gum disease

  • Reduces gum bleeding and inflammation

  • Prevents tooth mobility and tooth loss

  • Protects bone structure around the teeth

  • Improves overall oral health and freshens breath

Signs You May Need Deep Cleaning

  • Gums that bleed easily

  • Swollen, tender, or receding gums

  • Bad breath or bad taste in mouth

  • Loose or shifting teeth
