Deep Gum Cleaning for Velachery Patients
Bleeding gums are gum disease's earliest warning. Get treated at Hariharan Dental Clinic — 10 minutes from Velachery.
Gum disease is startlingly common — some estimates put it above 60% of Indian adults over 35. And it's the leading cause of tooth loss, not decay. Most Velachery patients don't realise they have periodontal disease until a routine check reveals significant tartar below the gum line — the tell-tale sign that deep gum cleaning is overdue.
Signs You Need More Than a Regular Cleaning
- Gums that bleed when you brush or floss
- Persistent bad breath even after brushing
- Teeth that feel slightly loose
- Gums pulling back from teeth
- Last cleaning was more than a year ago
If any of these apply, book a periodontal evaluation. Deep cleaning is far cheaper than treating late-stage gum disease.
From Velachery: 10 minutes via Medavakkam Road. Deep cleaning appointments run 45–90 minutes.

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.
Deep Gum Cleaning in Velachery — FAQs
Answers to the questions Velachery patients most often ask before booking.
No — it protects them. Modern ultrasonic scaling is gentle on tooth enamel while removing tartar effectively. What damages teeth is leaving tartar in place, which eventually causes bone loss.
Bad breath (halitosis) often comes from bacteria trapped below the gum line — a place brushing can't reach. Deep cleaning removes the bacterial reservoir, and most patients notice a dramatic improvement within a week.
Every 6 months for healthy gums. Every 3–4 months if you've had gum disease. Regular cleaning is far cheaper than treating advanced periodontitis.
