Periodontal cleaning is useful and necessary for gum disease. Cleaning for periodontal disease is a basic treatment method. Gum disease results from the progression and severity of gingivitis, which occurs when teeth are not adequately cleaned after brushing or mouth rinsing is not done promptly after eating. Food residues or plaque accumulate around the gums, causing prolonged irritation, congestion in the gum tissues, or bleeding during eating, which are also the earliest symptoms of gingivitis. This can further lead to the formation of tartar, which attaches to the root surfaces above and below the gums, known as supragingival and subgingival tartar, respectively. Subgingival tartar poses a greater risk as it may lead to the resorption of the alveolar bone. Therefore, it is essential to remove local irritants through dental cleaning in treating periodontitis, followed by subsequent treatments.
