Deep Gum Cleaning for Medavakkam Patients
Gums bleeding when you brush? That's the earliest warning sign of gum disease. Get it treated at Hariharan Dental Clinic — 12 minutes from Medavakkam.
Gum disease is silent — most Medavakkam patients don't realise they have it until teeth start feeling loose or breath turns persistently bad. Deep gum cleaning (scaling and root planing) removes tartar from below the gum line, where regular brushing can't reach. It's the single most important treatment for saving natural teeth long-term.
When Regular Cleaning Isn't Enough
If your last cleaning was over a year ago, or if your gums bleed while brushing, you likely need more than a routine polish. We use ultrasonic scaling to comfortably remove hardened tartar, then smooth the root surfaces so gums can reattach.
The whole procedure is done under local anaesthesia if needed — no pain, and most Medavakkam patients complete treatment in 1–2 visits.
From Medavakkam: 12-minute drive down Medavakkam Main Road. Deep cleaning appointments are typically 45–90 minutes, so schedule for a time you're not rushed.

How Deep Gum Cleaning Works
A clear, step-by-step process — no surprises. Every step is explained before it happens.
Examination
Thorough assessment of gum health, pocket depths, and tartar buildup using periodontal probing.
Scaling
Ultrasonic and hand instruments remove plaque and tartar from tooth surfaces above and below the gum line.
Root Planing
Tooth root surfaces are smoothed to remove bacterial toxins and promote gum reattachment.
Follow-Up Care
Re-evaluation after 4-6 weeks to monitor healing. Maintenance cleanings scheduled every 3-4 months.
