Scaling below the gumline
Instruments remove plaque and calculus from periodontal pockets and tooth surfaces that brushing cannot reach.
Scaling and root planing in Koramangala
Deep Cleaning in Koramangala
Deep cleaning, clinically called scaling and root planing, removes plaque, calculus and bacterial deposits from root surfaces below the gumline when periodontal findings indicate it. It is different from a routine preventive cleaning and should follow periodontal assessment.
A dentist must examine you before confirming a deep cleaning and root planing diagnosis or treatment. For breathing or swallowing difficulty, call India’s emergency number 112 or go to the nearest emergency department. Do not use WhatsApp for emergencies.

Understanding the service
When is deep cleaning recommended in Koramangala?
Scaling removes plaque and hardened deposits above and below the gumline. Root planing or root-surface instrumentation disrupts deposits and contaminated material on the root to create a surface that can be maintained as tissues heal.
Not everyone with bleeding gums requires this procedure. Gingivitis without attachment loss may respond to professional cleaning and improved home care, while periodontitis with deeper pockets and root deposits may need site-specific subgingival treatment.
Deep cleaning controls infection and inflammation but does not recreate all bone or attachment already lost. Results depend on access, disease severity, smoking, diabetes, daily plaque control and attendance for reassessment and maintenance.
Root-surface instrumentation
Affected root surfaces are carefully debrided according to clinical findings rather than polished as a cosmetic service.
Reassessment and maintenance
Pocket response and bleeding are remeasured so residual disease is not assumed to be resolved.
Individual assessment
What Dr Sanjay assesses before deep cleaning in Koramangala
The decision is based on periodontal measurements and diagnosis, not simply the presence of visible tartar. Dr Sanjay identifies the sites requiring treatment and factors that influence comfort or healing.
Pocket and attachment measurementsDepth, bleeding, recession, suppuration and attachment findings around individual tooth surfaces.
Deposit and bone assessmentRoot calculus, radiographic bone levels where indicated, furcations and anatomy that affect instrument access.
Medical and medicine historyDiabetes, immune conditions, blood-thinning medicines, allergies and other factors relevant to treatment planning.
Sensitivity and home careExposed roots, existing sensitivity, brushing and interdental technique and barriers to daily plaque removal.

Informed decisions
Expected effects, risks and alternatives
After inflammation reduces, gums may feel firmer and bleeding may decrease. Teeth can appear longer or spaces more visible because swelling has resolved and previously hidden recession becomes apparent.
- Temporary tenderness, bleeding and temperature sensitivity can occur; persistent or worsening symptoms should be reported.
- Deep or anatomically complex sites may not respond sufficiently and can require further non-surgical or surgical periodontal treatment.
- A routine cleaning is not an equivalent alternative when periodontal pockets and root deposits require treatment, while extraction may be discussed for a tooth with hopeless support.
Important: Follow the cleaning instructions even if the gums are tender, using the method advised by the dentist. Seek prompt care for increasing swelling, fever or uncontrolled bleeding; call 112 for breathing or swallowing difficulty.

Questions patients ask
Deep cleaning FAQs for Koramangala patients
How is deep cleaning different from normal cleaning?
A routine cleaning focuses mainly above the gumline for prevention. Scaling and root planing treats diagnosed periodontal pockets and affected root surfaces below the gumline.
Will local anaesthesia be used?
It may be used to keep treatment comfortable. The need depends on the sites, sensitivity, depth and individual clinical plan.
Can the whole mouth be treated in one visit?
Sometimes treatment is divided into areas. Disease extent, comfort, safety and the time needed for thorough instrumentation determine the schedule.
Will my gums reattach?
Inflammation may reduce and tissues may become healthier and fit more closely, but lost attachment and bone are not predictably restored by deep cleaning alone.
Why is a reassessment necessary?
Symptoms alone cannot confirm stability. Remeasuring pockets, bleeding and plaque control identifies sites that need additional care.
Do I still need maintenance afterward?
Yes. Periodontitis can recur or progress, so supportive periodontal maintenance and effective daily cleaning remain important.
