It is usually caused by the buildup of bacteria, tartar and plaque in, and around the teeth and gums.

A deep dental cleaning is a specific type of dental cleaning that is the treatment for acute periodontal disease. It involves using anesthesia in order to clean deeper under the gums and around the teeth than a normal routine dental cleaning. In the early stages of periodontal disease, a deep cleaning may reverse the disease process in order to avoid larger problems, including the loss of teeth the future.
