Scaling and Root Planing, also known as a dental deep cleaning, is very different from a regular cleaning. A deep cleaning (or “scaling and root planning”) is needed when there is a large amount of tartar and bacteria under the gums. A regular cleaning focuses on the surfaces of the teeth and between teeth above the gum line. During a regular cleaning, the teeth are also polished. #BrilliantDental #Dallas #Dental For more information visit us at http://www.brilliantdentaltx.com or call 469-291-7
