Thank you for asking this good questions. I t is a mis-conception that deep will hurt your gum. The truth is that deep cleaning will only remove the infected part of the gum tissue. It is the infected soft tissue that is under constant bacterial assault and chronic inflamation. Once the source of irritants ( such as calcified plaque, also know as tartar ) are being removed in the process of deep cleaning, your gum will become healthy. Firm and no more bleeding. Deep cleaning can divides into two types. Non- surgical approach and surgical approach. In some adnvanced stage of gum desease, regular ( Non- surgiacl approach ) deep cleaning along will not reslove the problem. In those instance, a “surgical approach” of deep cleaning may be necessary to control and/ or stop the condition. In short, Deep cleaning will NOT damage gum.
Deep cleaning,another term is scaling and root planing. It is generally considered safe and beneficial for gum health. However, if not performed correctly or with excessive force, it can potentially cause gum damage. If deep cleaning is done aggressively, may lead to gum recession, increased sensitivity, or tooth root exposure. These cases are rare but can occur if the procedure is not conducted by a skilled professional. By visiting a reputable dental professional who has experience in performing deep cleaning can help minimize the risk of gum damage and ensure a safe and effective procedure.
