Deep Cleaning of Teeth Gingivitis is the medical term for inflamed gums. If you don't brush and floss daily, it is likely that you have gingivitis in at least some areas of your mouth, usually around your molars.
If the bacteria and inflammation around your teeth has gotten down to a deeper level, this is an infection that can go unnoticed for a long time and can harm more than just your mouth. The cleaning needs to be deeper to get them out.
This will require special procedues and, often, antibiotics to heal the gums, not just a one-hour cleaning and polish of your teeth. This is because this disease is difficult to get rid of and can come back very quickly.
If left untreated, it will spread to the bone around your teeth, allow cavities to more easily affect your roots, and can result in premature tooth loss. Gingivitis has even been linked with heart-disease!
Your dentist and hygienist will explain what kind of cleaning and home care will cure your condition.
