Can deep cleaning cure gum disease?
Deep cleaning can help to treat some cases of periodontitis by removing the bacterial infection and allowing the gums to heal and reattach to the teeth. However, it must be used alongside excellent oral hygiene to be successful. And to stop gum disease returning, it’s important to keep up that good oral hygiene and attend regular dental check-ups.
How much does deep cleaning cost?
Deep cleaning to treat periodontitis will usually be covered by your insurance plan. Out of pocket, the cost typically starts at $200-300, and will depend on the severity of your gum disease, your location, and the provider you choose.
