There are several types of dental cleanings:

• Prophylaxis or healthy gum cleaning

• Gingival Scale or healthy gums but mild build-up

• Scaling and Root Planning or infected gums and heavy build-up including tartar and calculus.

• Periodontal Maintanace or routine cleanings for patients battling periodontal/gum disease.

Your doctor will always assess your condition before you see our hygienist. Doctor will tell you how often you need to visit us, either every 6 months or 3-4 months. Every patient has a tailored plan.
