Selecting the Right Cleaning

Ensure your gums get the care they need with L4RG. We clarify the difference between standard prophylaxis and periodontal therapy.

Comparison Guide:

• Regular Cleaning: Preventive care that removes plaque and tartar from above the gumline, suitable for healthy gums.
• Deep Cleaning: Therapeutic treatment (scaling and root planing) for gum disease, cleaning below the gumline.
• Recommendation: Schedule regular cleanings every six months, but opt for deep cleaning if gum pockets or bleeding are present.
