If you have been diagnosed with periodontal disease, Dr. Virgil Vacarean may recommend a deep dental cleaning as the first step in your treatment. Sometimes referred to as prophylaxis, deep cleanings work to thoroughly clear your mouth of harmful bacteria and other disease-causing factors so that your gums can begin to heal and recover. This treatment is often combined with other periodontal therapies, such as antibiotic treatments, to achieve the best results.
