Gum disease is silent, common, and the leading reason adults lose teeth in India. Many Pallavaram patients discover they need deep gum cleaning only when a routine checkup shows tartar buildup below the gum line — a place a toothbrush cannot clean.

Comprehensive Periodontal Care

We use ultrasonic scaling to comfortably remove hardened tartar, followed by root planing to smooth root surfaces so gums can reattach. In advanced cases, we combine cleaning with adjunctive antibiotics or laser therapy.

For patients from Pallavaram, we typically complete treatment in 1–2 visits to reduce the number of trips.

From Pallavaram: 18 minutes via Nanganallur. Appointments run 45–90 minutes — plan for a relaxed morning or afternoon slot.

The Process

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.

2

Scaling

Ultrasonic and hand instruments remove plaque and tartar from tooth surfaces above and below the gum line.

3

Root Planing

Tooth root surfaces are smoothed to remove bacterial toxins and promote gum reattachment.

4

Follow-Up Care

Re-evaluation after 4-6 weeks to monitor healing. Maintenance cleanings scheduled every 3-4 months.

Common Questions

Deep Gum Cleaning in Pallavaram — FAQs

Answers to the questions Pallavaram patients most often ask before booking.

How is deep cleaning different from regular scaling?

Regular scaling removes plaque above the gum line — usually a quick, 30-minute polish. Deep cleaning goes below the gum line, treats periodontal pockets, and smooths root surfaces so gums can heal and reattach.

How long before my gums heal?

Bleeding usually stops within 2 weeks. Full healing (gum reattachment) takes 6–8 weeks. We schedule a review at week 6 to confirm results and plan maintenance.

Do I need antibiotics with deep cleaning?

Only in advanced cases with active infection or aggressive periodontitis. Most straightforward cases just need thorough cleaning and improved home care.
