Deep Cleaning care for Old Bridge patients
Scaling and root planing removes plaque and tartar below the gum line — the foundation of gum disease treatment and periodontal maintenance.
Scaling and root planing — often called a deep cleaning — is the standard treatment for moderate gum disease (periodontitis) in Woodbridge, VA. Unlike a routine prophylaxis that cleans above the gums, scaling and root planing smooths the tooth roots and removes calculus in periodontal pockets.
At Hedgewood Dental, we typically treat one or two quadrants per visit so you stay comfortable and healing is manageable. Local anesthesia is available when pockets are deep or gums are tender. After treatment, we schedule periodontal maintenance and review home-care techniques.
For patients coming from Old Bridge, Woodbridge, VA, the office is 10-15 minutes away. We keep visits clear and practical, with treatment options explained before care begins.
