Do You Really NEED a Deep Cleaning?

Not all dental cleanings are the same, and if you’ve ever been told you suddenly need a deep cleaning, it can feel confusing. In this video, I break down the three main types of dental cleanings:
• Basic Cleaning (Prophylaxis)
• Gingivitis Cleaning (D4346)
• Deep Cleaning / SRP (Scaling & Root Planing)

I’ll show you how dentists and hygienists decide which type you need based on X-rays, gum measurements, pocket depths, and bone levels. If you’ve ever wondered why you’re getting one type of cleaning instead of another, this video explains it in simple, patient friendly language.

Whether you’re dealing with gum inflammation, bone loss, or just trying to stay on top of your oral health, understanding these cleanings can help you make confident decisions at your next dental visit.
