salaam, yes there's a difference. routine oral prophylaxis include normal scaling usually recommend every 6-9 months,
deep scaling may include deeper penetration and use of anesthesia depending upon severity of the gum disease.

Aoa. Hope you fine. Scaling is done for the removal of tartar and stains on the surfaces of teeth. Deep scaling means removal of hard plaque or tartar just a few millimeters below the gums.

Yes there is differencebw scaling and deep scaling . Deep scaling also called currettage is basically cle aning  of teeth from roots . Whereas, scaling is only superficial removal of tartar.

Xray is needed when currettage is needed 

Member of Marham-Forum

yes there is a difference between deep scaling and scaling...as the name implies deep scaling involves scaling around the root while scaling is done superficially...
OPG xray is needed
