Deep Teeth Cleaning treatments reduce the risk of severe periodontal issues.
A Deep Teeth Cleaning is a special teeth cleaning treatment for patients who suffer from periodontal or gum disease. Periodontal (gum) disease is characterized by an excessive amount of plaque and calculus (tartar) around the teeth, causing deterioration to the surrounding tissues and bones. It can be identified by :
If periodontal disease is left untreated, it will eventually begin to destroy the gums and bone. Gum disease has been linked to other long-term health health complications, including stroke, diabetes and heart disease.
Deep Cleaning treatments can avoid advancement of severe periodontal disease that may cause oral and whole body health problems.
It is a relatively simple procedure that may or may not require anesthesia depending on each patients sensibility and oral condition.
Deep Teeth Cleaning treatments reduce the risk of severe periodontal issues.
Scaling and Root Planing (aka deep cleaning) is the best way to eliminate bacteria and allow your gums to reattach healthily to your teeth again.
Deep Cleaning may only require one or two office visits only. However, you may need more visits if you suffer from severe periodontal disease.
The look of your smile will also benefit from a Deep Teeth Cleaning. You’ll also reduce halitosis (bad breath).
Scaling is the removal of the dental tartar from the tooth surface. At this stage, a dentist or hygienist will clean your gums all the way down to the bottom of the pocket. This will ensure that the pockets where bacteria accumulates, remain clean.
Root planning is the process of smoothing the root surfaces after the scaling process. This process of smoothing your roots, enables your gums to reattach healthily to the tooth structure and recover.
As a non-surgical procedure, scaling and planning is usually performed without any anesthesia. However, advanced stages of gum disease may make it necessary to numb the area for complete comfort.
Deep Teeth Cleaning will help you tackle your gum problems and recover healthy gums to hold your teeth tightly.
