Periodontal Deep Clean in Labrador

The general rule of thumb is that if you visit your dentist every 6 months and maintain an optimal at-home routine, you may never require a deep clean. By staying on top of plaque and tartar above the gum line, you can prevent these issues from progressing beyond the gum line.

However, if you’ve left visiting the dentist too long and do not maintain a great oral health routine at home, you may require a deep clean.

Deep cleans are important because, if recommended, you may now have oral bacteria and debris left in the periodontal pockets between your teeth and gums. If left untreated, this can result in severe dental concerns such as gum disease, inflammation, or gingivitis down the line.
