Healthy mouth cleaning

Your dental hygienist will meticulously clean the surfaces of your teeth and above the gum lines. Using a scaler, they’ll scrap away plaque and tartar buildup to prevent future problems, and gently remove any stubborn stains. A final polish shines and cleans your tooth enamel.

Periodontal cleaning (dental deep cleaning)

Need to stop the progression of gum infection, also known as periodontal disease? A periodontal cleaning (dental deep cleaning) targets bacteria that have extended deep below the gum line. Scaling involves meticulous removal of these deposits from the tooth surfaces and pockets, while root planing focuses on smoothing the root surfaces to facilitate gum reattachment and prevent bacterial growth.

Periodontal maintenance cleaning

Periodontal maintenance is a specialized cleaning performed periodically to keep periodontal disease in remission. It’s a great way to keep up with your gum health after your initial periodontal cleaning with your Radix Dentistry care team.

Dental cleaning cost

The dental cleaning cost at Radix Dentistry can vary based on location, specific services needed, and individual treatment plans. Typically, a routine dental cleaning starts at $165. Prices may differ depending on your specific needs and any additional treatments the dentist recommends. To get an accurate estimate, contact your nearest Radix Dentistry office.
