What Is Deep Cleaning?
Cranford Dentist
Deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is a comprehensive dental procedure designed to treat gum disease and restore oral health. Unlike regular cleanings that address plaque and tartar on the tooth surface, deep cleaning targets buildup beneath the gum line and in deep pockets around the teeth. Dr. Kimberly Goldenbaum uses advanced tools to scale away plaque, tartar, and harmful bacteria from the tooth roots, promoting healing and reducing inflammation.
Root planing smooths the surfaces of the roots, making it more difficult for bacteria to reattach, stabilizing the gum tissue, and preventing the disease from progressing. Deep cleaning may require local or topical anesthetics to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. By addressing the root causes of gum disease, deep cleaning not only helps restore gum health but also reduces the risk of tooth loss, ultimately protecting both your oral health and overall well-being.
Benefits of Deep Cleaning

Effective Disease Management
Deep cleaning eliminates harmful bacteria and tartar buildup from beneath the gum line, directly addressing the root causes of gum disease. By managing bacterial growth and inflammation, this procedure helps prevent further damage to the gums and teeth, supporting long-term oral health.
Improved Gum Health
By cleaning below the gum line, deep cleaning promotes healing of gum tissue, reducing bleeding and inflammation. This supports healthier, more stable gums and helps maintain a solid foundation for your teeth, ensuring better overall gum health.
Prevention of Further Damage
Regular deep cleanings are essential in preventing the progression of periodontal disease. This proactive approach helps reduce the risk of tooth loss and bone deterioration, preserving both the function and appearance of your smile for years to come.
