Reverse Gum Disease. Protect Your Smile.
Scaling and root planing—also called deep cleaning—targets bacteria below the gumline to stop gum disease and restore a healthy foundation for your smile.
What Is Scaling and Root Planing?
Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical treatment for early to moderate gum disease. We clean below the gumline, removing hardened plaque (calculus) and smoothing the tooth root to help gums reattach and heal.
Reduces inflammation and bleeding
Removes deep tartar buildup
Stops gum recession in its tracks
Prevents tooth loss and bone loss
It Doesn’t Always Hurt—But It Always Matters.
Signs You May Need Deep Cleaning
Gum disease often starts silently. If you’ve noticed bleeding during brushing, bad breath, or loose teeth, it could be time for a periodontal evaluation.
What Patients Are Saying
Clear Steps. Clean Results. Healthier Gums.
What to Expect and Aftercare
Deep cleanings are typically completed in one to two visits. We’ll numb the area and clean deeply without surgery. Aftercare may include medicated rinses and a follow-up visit to track healing.

Gum Contouring
We have adopted the LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) technology in our dental clinics to help you solve your periodontal problem in a more rapid, safe, and pain-free way. This technology uses laser light to gently remove harmful bacteria and diseased tissue from your gum pockets.
Gum contouring can be a part of the overall treatment when your gums have already been affected. For more information or any questions you have about the treatments we offer, always feel free to contact us.
Aside from removing the bacteria, what is also great about the Laser Gum Treatment is that it also limits tooth sensitivity and gum recession. You will be glad to know and experience for yourself that it takes less than 24 hours of recovery time for you to enjoy the results at FLOSS Dental.
