Who it’s for

  • Gums that bleed when you brush or floss
  • Bad breath that won't go away
  • Gums pulling away from your teeth

What happens

  1. We numb one side of your mouth at a time.
  2. We clear hardened buildup off the roots, below the gumline.
  3. We smooth the root so the gum can tighten back against the tooth.
  4. Usually two visits, then a recheck in a few months to measure healing.

Does it hurt?

The area is fully numbed. Most people are surprised how little they feel. Gums are tender for a day or two.

Questions people ask

Why do my gums bleed when I brush?

Bleeding is usually the first sign of gum disease, and often the only warning you get.

Is this the same as a regular cleaning?

No. A regular cleaning works above the gumline. A deep cleaning treats disease below it, where a normal cleaning can't reach.

Is gum disease serious?

It's the top reason adults lose teeth. Caught early, it's very manageable.

Is brushing once a day enough?

The goal is removing plaque before it hardens into tartar. Dr. Rai's video explains why twice matters.
