Deep cleaning - calculus removal

Dental home care is essential, but it is not sufficient on its own to maintain completely healthy oral health. There are many hard-to-reach areas in the mouth that cannot be properly checked or cleaned at home. In these areas, food particles, dental plaque, and calculus can accumulate, leading to bad breath, gum bleeding, gingivitis, tooth decay, and periodontitis (gum and bone recession).

For this reason, it is generally recommended to visit dentist for a professional dental check-up and cleaning every 6 to 12 months. However, every patient is different, and oral care should always be personalized based on individual needs and life stages.

• Patients with good oral hygiene and no signs of chronic gingivitis usually require routine professional cleaning every 6–12 months.
• Patients with dental crowns, bridges, multiple fillings, or dental implants often need more meticulous deep cleaning every 6 months.
• Patients with periodontal disease, advanced systemic conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, or those taking certain medications (for example, anti-epileptic drugs) may need dental check-ups and cleanings every 3–6 months.

Difference Between Normal Cleaning and Deep Cleaning

Normal dental cleaning focuses on removing supragingival calculus (tartar above the gum line). It is suitable for patients with healthy gums, no gum pockets, and no bone loss.

If you experience gum bleeding, bad breath, gum or bone recession, or if you have crowns and bridges, deep cleaning is recommended. Deep cleaning targets subgingival calculus (below the gum line), which is the main cause of these oral health problems.

Deep cleaning should always be performed by an experienced dentist, usually under local anesthesia, to ensure comfort and effectiveness. At Lilladent, deep cleaning is carried out by our dentists using magnification and intraoral lighting, combined with laser therapy or sandblasting techniques to achieve superior clinical results. For people with periodontal disease, deep cleaning could be followed by root planning to reach and smooth deeper surfaces of tooth roots so the gums can reattach properly. This is an effective way to control chronic periodontitis ( gum and bone recession disease)
