A periodontal cleaning device, comprising a cleaning head having a fluid outlet for releasing a cleaning fluid and a suction member for suction of a waste fluid, a cleaning fluid source, connected to the fluid outlet, a controllable suction means connected to the suction member, fluid feeding means for controlling a flow of the cleaning fluid from the cleaning fluid source to the fluid outlet. The periodontal cleaning device further has a control unit, the control unit being arranged for controlling the controllable suction means in generating a vacuum pulse in the suction member, controlling controllable fluid feeding means in generating a fluid flow pulse in the fluid outlet in response to the vacuum pulse, and controlling the controllable suction means in generating a subsequent vacuum pulse in the suction member, and the control unit being arranged for introducing a time period between the cleaning fluid flow pulse and the subsequent vacuum pulse in the suction member.
