…at this point, calling it a ‘cleaning’ is not only insulting; it’s clinically incorrect.

If your gums are bleeding or inflamed, a routine cleaning may not be enough.

Gum disease is caused by an active infection. When infection is present, continuing regular cleanings alone does not treat the problem — it simply maintains it.

That’s why your dental team may recommend:
✔ Additional evaluation
✔ Bacterial testing to understand how serious the infection is
✔ Treatment focused on clearing the infection — not just cleaning teeth

The goal is not more treatment.
The goal is the right treatment, so the infection can be controlled and your gums can heal.

We’ve created a simple guide to help explain this process and what comes next.
