A deep cleaning — also called scaling and root planing or periodontal therapy — removes bacteria and tartar from below the gum line to treat gum disease and help your gums heal. At MK Dental Studio in Fulshear, TX, Dr. Madiha Khanani and our registered dental hygienist use this treatment to stop gum disease from progressing and protect your teeth and bone. We serve patients from Fulshear, Brookshire, Katy, and the Jordan Ranch area.

Signs You May Need a Deep Cleaning

  • Gums that bleed when you brush or floss
  • Swollen, red, or tender gums
  • Bad breath that won’t go away
  • Gums pulling away from your teeth
  • Loose teeth or changes in your bite
  • Deep gum pockets found during your exam

Why Treating Gum Disease Matters

Periodontal (gum) disease is a serious infection that can lead to bone loss and tooth loss if left untreated. A regular cleaning can’t reach the bacteria living in deep pockets below the gum line — scaling and root planing can.
  • Stops disease progression — protects your smile from bone and tooth loss
  • Removes bacterial pockets — helps your gums tighten and reattach to the teeth
  • Supports your overall health — reducing gum inflammation is good for your whole body

The Deep Cleaning Process at MK Dental Studio

  1. Assessment — we measure the pocket depths around your teeth and take X-rays to see where infection is present.
  2. Numbing — the area is numbed so you stay comfortable.
  3. Scaling — tartar and bacteria are gently removed from below the gum line.
  4. Root planing — the root surfaces are smoothed so your gums can heal and reattach.
  5. Healing and maintenance — we check your progress and create a maintenance plan, often periodontal maintenance cleanings every 3–4 months.
Healthy gums? A routine professional cleaning every six months helps keep them that way.

Deep Cleaning FAQs – Fulshear, TX

A regular cleaning treats the surfaces above the gum line for prevention. A deep cleaning (periodontal therapy) treats the area below the gum line to resolve an existing infection.

A deep cleaning, also called scaling and root planing, is recommended when there are signs of gum disease, such as deeper gum pockets, bleeding, inflammation, bone loss, or buildup below the gum line. Unlike routine cleanings, deep cleanings aren't done on a set schedule for everyone. After your deep cleaning, we'll evaluate your gum health and recommend the right maintenance schedule — many patients with gum disease benefit from periodontal maintenance cleanings every 3 to 4 months.

Periodontal disease can't always be "cured" in the traditional sense, especially once bone loss has occurred. However, it can often be treated and managed with the right care. The goal is to remove harmful bacteria and buildup, reduce inflammation, and keep the gums and supporting bone as stable as possible.

The area is numbed, so most patients feel little discomfort during treatment. Your gums may feel a little tender for a few days afterward, and our comfort menu helps you relax during your visit.

Deep cleanings are often covered at a certain percentage, depending on your plan's coverage. We'll review your benefits with you before treatment.
