How is deep cleaning of teeth done?

Don't Worry: Normally the affected area is numbed first. This can be done with traditional local anesthetic or a needle-less topical alternative. Once the gums are numb, the hygienist will remove all the debris which has collected below the gums, with ultrasonic and hand instruments. Then the roots are gently smoothed. Often, a medicated rinse is placed, or long-lasting antibiotics. You'll be comfortable.

Deep scale.: Usually, a section of the mouth is anesthetized. Then, ultrasonic and/or mechanical instruments are used to remove the stuff requiring it.
