Deep cleanings for long-lasting dental health

Gum disease and plaque buildup can significantly affect your oral health, leading to issues like bad breath, tooth decay, and even tooth loss. Our MD & Washington DC deep cleaning services are designed to tackle these issues, promoting a healthy mouth and gums.

Deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, involves removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline. This process not only cleans your teeth but also smoothens the root surfaces, preventing further buildup of tartar and bacteria.

At Tidewater Dental, we prioritize your oral health. Our goal is to ensure your deep cleaning treatment is thorough and comfortable, safeguarding your teeth and gums against future problems. Request an appointment today to take the first step towards a healthier smile!

When Our Dentists Recommend Deep Cleaning

Deep cleaning may be recommended to:

Address gum disease and prevent its progression
Remove tartar and plaque buildup that regular cleaning can’t
Improve bad breath caused by gum disease
Prepare the mouth for further dental treatments if necessary
