— Understanding the Procedure
What is scaling and root planing?
When gum disease develops, the gum tissue pulls away from the teeth, creating pockets where bacteria accumulate below the gumline. Regular cleaning cannot reach these pockets. Scaling and root planing — also called deep cleaning — is the treatment designed specifically to address this.
Dr. Sandhu uses ultrasonic and hand instruments to remove tartar, plaque, and bacterial toxins from within these periodontal pockets. The root surfaces are then carefully smoothed — this is the “root planing” step — which removes bacterial deposits embedded in the root and creates a clean, smooth surface that gum tissue can reattach to as it heals.
Treatment is always performed with local anaesthesia so you feel nothing more than mild pressure. Depending on the severity of your gum disease, Dr. Sandhu will treat the full mouth in one visit or work through each quadrant of the mouth across separate appointments.
Healthy gums, gingivitis, or gum disease?
Gum disease progresses silently. Most patients don’t know they have it — until it’s already causing damage.
Healthy
Healthy Gums
Pink, firm gum tissue with no bleeding. Pockets measure 1–3mm. Regular cleaning every 6 months is all that’s needed to stay here.
- ✓ Regular GBT Cleaning
Early Stage
Gingivitis
Red, swollen gums that bleed when brushed. The infection is still above the gumline and fully reversible with professional treatment and improved home care.
- ⚠ GBT Cleaning + Review
Gum Disease
Periodontitis
Infection has spread below the gumline. Pockets deepen, bone begins to recede, teeth may loosen. This requires deep cleaning to halt progression and prevent tooth loss.

What to expect during your deep cleaning
A thorough, comfortable process — designed to treat gum disease effectively without unnecessary discomfort.
01
Healthy Gums
Dr. Sandhu measures your periodontal pocket depths and maps the areas requiring treatment. Local anaesthesia is administered so you feel comfortable throughout. Nitrous oxide sedation can be added for complete relaxation.
02
Sub-Gingival Scaling
Ultrasonic and hand instruments carefully remove tartar, plaque, and bacterial toxins from inside the periodontal pockets — deep below the gumline where a regular cleaning cannot reach.
03
Root Planing
The root surfaces are smoothed to remove any remaining bacterial deposits and create a clean, healthy surface. This step is critical — it allows your gum tissue to reattach and the pocket to reduce as healing takes place.
04
Review & Maintenance Plan
Dr. Sandhu reviews your results at a follow-up appointment, re-measures pocket depths, and sets a maintenance schedule — typically a professional cleaning every 3–4 months to prevent recurrence.

— Our Philosophy
Treat gum disease before it costs you your teeth.
Gum disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss in India — and the most frustrating part is that it’s almost entirely preventable. It rarely hurts until it’s advanced. Gums bleed, then the bleeding gets ignored, then pockets deepen, then bone is lost. By the time a tooth is loose, the damage is often irreversible.
Deep cleaning stops this progression. It isn’t a dramatic procedure — it’s a thorough, focused cleaning below the gumline that removes the bacterial deposits driving the disease. Most patients are surprised at how straightforward it is. The anaesthesia means you feel nothing, the appointment is 60 minutes, and the difference in your gum health within weeks is significant.
At Tricity Smiles, we don’t wait for gum disease to become a crisis. We catch it early, treat it thoroughly, and keep it under control with a maintenance schedule tailored to your needs. Because saving teeth is always less expensive — and less painful — than replacing them.

Deep cleaning FAQs
Common questions about scaling and root planing, gum disease treatment, and recovery in Chandigarh.
What is scaling and root planing?
Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning procedure for gum disease. Unlike regular cleaning, it goes below the gumline to remove tartar and bacterial deposits from the roots of your teeth, and smooths the root surfaces so gum tissue can reattach and heal. It is performed under local anaesthesia and is the most effective non-surgical treatment for periodontitis.
How much does deep cleaning cost in Chandigarh?
Deep cleaning at Tricity Smiles starts from ₹6,000. The final cost depends on the severity of your gum disease and whether treatment is done per quadrant or full mouth. All costs are discussed and agreed before treatment begins — there are no hidden charges.

After your deep cleaning
- Rinse gently with warm salt water 2–3 times a day for 3 days
- Brush gently with a soft toothbrush — don’t skip the treated area
- Floss carefully once daily — it aids healing, not harms it
- Take any prescribed medication as directed
- Attend your follow-up appointment — pocket re-measurement is important
- Very hot or very cold food and drinks
- Hard, crunchy, or chewy foods
- Smoking or chewing tobacco — it significantly delays healing
- Alcohol for 24 hours
- Gum tenderness and sensitivity for 2–5 days
- Slight bleeding when brushing for 1–2 days
- Teeth may feel slightly more sensitive to temperature — this settles
- Gums may look like they have “receded” — this is swelling reducing, not true recession
