A Deep Cleaning a.k.a. Scaling & Root Planing is a deep cleaning of the root surfaces to remove plaque and calculus from deep periodontal pockets and to remove bacterial toxins off of the roots. We use a topical anesthetic for a pain free alternative to shots.
Many patients have inflammation, especially in areas they find difficult to keep clean daily. With the topical anesthetic under the gum line the once sensitive gum tissue is easily debrided, which allows for healing to occur.
The deep cleaning procedure is designed to help avoid periodontal disease which is caused by a large buildup of calculus and plaque on the crowns and root surfaces of teeth. It can begin as localized gingival inflammation and progress to serious disease that results in major damage to the soft tissue and the bone that supports the teeth. If periodontal disease is left untreated, it can progress to the ultimate loss of teeth.
Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning) is intended to provide a healthy tissue environment by removing the plaque above and below the gumline as well as deep into the periodontal pocket, thereby helping your gums reattach to the teeth.
Routine Cleaning is performed for the purpose of maintaining healthy gums by removing the buildup of bacteria and tarter that gathers between the teeth. Routine cleanings are typically performed twice a year by a Registered Dental Hygienist or dentist as preventative dental care.

Dr. Baker and staff are very professional, I drove from another county for this appointment and I am definitely now a repeat customer. Great job folks!!!
I appreciate the care, that not only I've received, but the care of my entire family. God bless each of you.

Build up those muscles Dr. Thank you for making me feel welcome.

Andi takes great care and is gentle with cleanings. I had a real bad experience at the Dentist years ago and now Dr. Baker and his assistants have restored my faith in that not all Dentists or hygienists are equal in the talent they possess...A++++++
The title of my review says it all. It's always a pleasure to visit Dr Baker's office he & his staff are completely honest and always provide me with all my options. Thank you for doing an awesome job! Candice
I was impressed with all of the new equipment Dr. baker has purchased for his practice. He uses the latest cutting edge digital X-rays and scanners. He even has athe equipment to make a crown while you wait! no more leaving with a temporary crown and coming back a week later. I left my old dentist because his equipment and office were outdated. so glad I chose to use a groupon to try Dr. Baker. I have found the perfect dentist office.
Quick easy and harmless. I love the staff! They are very welcoming and informative.
