Understanding the various types of teeth cleaning helps you strategize them and continue to live a dental worry-free lifestyle and keep smiling.

Prophylaxis cleaning
A generally healthy oral situation warrants prophylaxis cleaning. This treatment can be advised for routine maintenance such as the removal of tartar, plaque, and stains from the surface of teeth.

Scaling and root planing
This procedure is non-surgical and includes an in-depth cleaning of the gum line, teeth-supporting structures, and gums in general.

Gross debridement
When an individual has a significant amount of plaque build-up in the gums and teeth, a gross debridement procedure is advised by the dentist. This treatment covers the entire mouth by helping remove plaque build-ups, tartar, and stains.

Periodontal maintenance
Individuals suffering from serious and recurring oral concerns are advised periodontal maintenance. Periodontal maintenance is advised for individuals with gingivitis or periodontitis.
