What is Full Mouth Debridement?

A Deep Cleaning for Severe Plaque & Tartar Buildup

A full mouth debridement (FMD) is an intensive cleaning procedure for patients with severe plaque and tartar buildup that cannot be removed with a regular cleaning. This procedure is often recommended when a patient has not had a dental cleaning for an extended period and has excessive deposits that make it difficult to perform a proper examination. Signs You May Need a Full Mouth Debridement: Heavy plaque and tartar buildup covering teeth and gums Red, swollen, or bleeding gums (early signs of gum disease) Bad breath that doesn’t go away Difficulty in evaluating oral health due to excessive buildup Increased tooth sensitivity or discomfort
