Deep Dental Cleaning in Cali
What is Deep Dental Cleaning? Deep dental cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is a specialized dental procedure that removes plaque and tartar buildup below the gum line. Unlike regular dental cleaning, this treatment reaches into the periodontal pockets to prevent periodontal diseases and maintain optimal oral health.
