Deep teeth cleaning in Dubai — scaling and root planing
A routine clean polishes above the gumline. When gums bleed and pockets deepen, bacteria live where a toothbrush cannot reach — that is when deep cleaning is recommended.
Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) removes tartar and bacteria from below the gumline when gum pockets have formed. It treats gum disease rather than just polishing teeth, and is usually done in one to four sessions under local anaesthetic when needed.
Key facts
- Treats gum disease below the gumline
- 1–4 sessions
- Local anaesthetic when needed
- Re-evaluation after 6–8 weeks
Routine clean vs deep clean
A routine scale and polish suits healthy gums. A deep clean is for periodontitis, where measured pockets and X-rays show bone loss.
What it feels like
Areas are numbed when needed. Afterwards gums may be tender and teeth sensitive to cold for a few days.
After deep cleaning
Gums are re-measured after six to eight weeks. Maintenance cleans every three to six months keep the disease stable.
Professional cleaning removes hardened tartar that brushing can't, polishes away surface stains, and lets the dentist spot gum disease early.

Does deep cleaning damage teeth?
No. It removes hardened deposits and smooths root surfaces so gums can reattach.
Why do my teeth feel sensitive after deep cleaning?
Exposed root surfaces react to cold for a short time; sensitive toothpaste helps.
Do I need antibiotics?
Usually not; they are reserved for specific cases.
Will my gums shrink after deep cleaning?
As swelling settles gums can look slightly lower — a sign inflammation is reducing.
