Dental Cleaning:
There are several different types of dental cleaning, and the type of cleaning recommended will depend on the patient’s individual needs and the condition of their teeth and gums. Dental cleanings can help prevent a wide range of dental problems, including cavities, bad breath, and staining of the teeth. Some common types of dental cleaning include:

• Prophylaxis cleaning: This is a routine cleaning that is typically recommended every six months for most patients. It involves removing plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth and gums and is an important part of maintaining good oral health.
  
  
• Scaling and root planning: In cases of severe gum disease, it maybe necessary to remove stubborn plaque and tartar buildup from deep pockets in the gums. This type of cleaning can be uncomfortable, but it is an important step in treating the underlying condition and preventing further damage. This procedure can be performed on all four quadrants of the mouth over the course of two or more appointments, and local anesthesia may be administered to minimize discomfort.
  
  
• Deep cleaning: This is a more general term which can refer to any type of thorough dental cleaning that goes beyond a routine prophylaxis cleaning. It can include scaling and root planning as well as other types of dental cleaning, such as a full mouth debridement or a more extensive prophylaxis cleaning.
