Regular brushing and flossing at home can only do so much to keep your gums healthy. As much as we try to maintain good oral hygiene, sometimes plaque buildup can get out of hand and lead to more serious issues, like periodontal disease. That’s where dental deep cleanings come in.
This gum therapy treatment tackles those hard-to-reach areas that regular brushing and flossing can miss, so you won’t have to address these issues alone. Our periodontic dentists at Marshlands Family Dentistry, Dr. John Wise and Dr. Edward Wise, will be by your side from start to finish.
Nonsurgical periodontal therapy is a fancy term for deep cleaning your teeth and gums to treat gum disease without surgery. It sounds technical, but it’s just a thorough cleaning of your teeth below the gumline, where bacteria can cause inflammation and infection. In these cleanings, we target tartar buildup, giving your gums a fresh start. Regular deep cleaning can prevent the progression of gum disease and maintain oral health.
Do you need more than a regular dental cleaning and check-up? Here are some signs your gums may need special attention:
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s time to give your gums some TLC. Don’t worry, though. Our pain-free process will make your gums feel fresh and healthy in no time. With our expertise and gentle approach, you’ll be effortlessly on your way to a brighter smile.
At Marshlands Family Dentistry, we simplify the deep cleaning process to make it as painless as possible. Here’s how it works. We start with a comprehensive dental exam to assess the health of your gums. Using special tools, we then remove plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth and beneath your gums. Clearing away this harmful bacteria allows for the healing of the gums and prevents further damage to your oral health.
Next, we smooth the tooth roots to help your gums reattach and heal. Finally, we provide you with aftercare tips and products to maintain your sparkling clean gums at home. Throughout the process, we ensure your comfort with one of our dental sedation options combined with a gentle touch.
Achieving and maintaining a healthy smile requires dedication and professional support—trust Marshlands Family Dentistry to be your partner in both. Our committed team is here to ensure your gum care is second to none. Don’t wait until it’s too late; prioritize your oral health today by booking with us. Your gums will thank you!

“I don’t know if I’ve ever been to a dentist that was an enjoyable experience, but this one was. I was so anxious leading up to the appointment, and hadn’t been feeling great (mentally and physically) the morning of, but the friendliness of the staff and kindness of everyone made me happier overall. When we were finished up, I left there more joyful than I had walked in. Of course my teeth feel awesome and look great..”

“Savannah H. cleaned my teeth and she was outstanding! I am a dental hygienist as well and her training (she went to the same college I did) patient interaction, and communication were above and beyond my expectations, which tend to be pretty high! Believe it or not, very much like the shoemakers son, I was overdue for my cleaning. Savannah H. made sure to update my x-rays including taking the very important pictures.”
