A professional teeth cleaning removes plaque and hardened tartar that brushing and flossing miss. A routine cleaning works above the gumline. A deep cleaning, called scaling and root planing, treats gum disease below the gumline.
Dental hygienists and general dentists do routine cleanings. A periodontist (gum specialist) may be recommended when gum disease is advanced or keeps coming back after deep cleanings.
