Deep Cleaning for Healthy Gums and Lasting Oral Health

Gum health is essential for maintaining strong teeth and a confident smile. Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning treatment designed to remove plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline, helping to prevent or treat periodontal disease. At Park Avenue Dental in Murray Hill, we provide expert gum disease treatment, serving patients in Midtown, Gramercy, Tudor City, Kips Bay, and surrounding NYC neighborhoods.

What is periodontal disease?

Periodontal disease (gum disease) is a bacterial infection that affects the gums and bone supporting the teeth. Symptoms include:

  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums

  • Persistent bad breath

  • Gum recession or loose teeth

  • Deep pockets forming between teeth and gums

If left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and other serious health issues.

How does scaling and root planing work?

Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical deep cleaning that includes:

  • Scaling – Removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline.

  • Root planing – Smoothing the tooth roots to help gums reattach and prevent bacteria buildup.

  • Ongoing care – Recommendations for maintaining gum health and preventing reinfection.

This treatment halts the progression of gum disease and promotes healing, helping patients maintain a healthier smile.

Benefits of scaling and root planing

You may be a good candidate for a dental bridge if you:

  • Stops gum disease from worsening

  • Prevents tooth loss and bone deterioration

  • Eliminates bad breath caused by bacteria

  • Reduces gum inflammation and bleeding

  • Supports overall oral and systemic health
