Dental teeth cleaning is crucial for your dental health if you do not have healthy gums.
At our dental office, we carefully perform this treatment using state-of-the-art technology to avoid gum infection and tooth loss. During your tooth scaling, our dental professional will use specialized instruments to meticulously remove plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth, both above and below the gum line. The surface cleaning is known as scaling, whereas cleaning below the gum line is known as root planing.
We are experts in managing gum illnesses, enhancing dental hygiene, and protecting your general health. Visit our dental clinic to enhance your smile!
Dental Cleaning Vs. Deep Cleaning
There can be an ambiguity between "deep cleaning" and regular "dental cleaning," but there is a huge difference. Regular dental cleaning focuses on the teeth and area above your gumline. It cleans your teeth from the surface level by removing plaque and tartar accumulations to leave your mouth with a fresh feeling.
But what about the bacterial and tartar buildup below, near your teeth roots? This is where deep cleaning comes in!
Deep cleaning works below your gum line to clear your gum infection and prevent it from worsening. Scaling your teeth is best to remove the harmful bacteria that gather in tough-to-clean spots and lead to plaque and tartar buildup. If not treated, this can irritate your gums and cause them to recede.
Our expert dentist, Dr. Rita, is skilled in removing your gum infection to give you a new, confident, and beautiful smile.
Do You Need a Deep Dental Cleaning?
At Tri Dental, we offer deep cleaning, which includes teeth scaling and root planing to treat periodontal disease. Advanced periodontitis is dangerous enough to deteriorate your oral and overall health. To guarantee your comfort, we will apply local anesthesia and then perform your deep cleaning. Fortunately, our proficient dentists, such as Dr. Rita, can detect your gum disease in its early stages and address it with a thorough cleaning before it gets any worse.
You may need a deep cleaning if:
- You experience gum swelling or sensitivity
- There's a change in the color of your gums
- Your gums bleed during tooth brushing or flossing
- There's an accumulation of plaque or tartar
- Persistent bad breath occurs even with proper care
- The pockets around your gums become inflamed
- There's a noticeable alteration in your gum line (more of your teeth are visible than before)
Is a Deep Clean Necessary if I Regularly Get Routine Cleanings?
Maybe. Despite frequent dentist visits and maintaining good oral hygiene, it is still possible to be susceptible to gum disease.
Regular dental checkups and cleanings are paramount to keep your teeth and gums healthy. However, there are several things that increase your risk of gum disease, such as the accumulation of bacteria in your teeth roots. For some people, it can be stress or diet that causes this. For others, it could be genetics.
Your gums may form periodontal pockets, which hide harmful bacteria, giving them a good environment to grow. Deep cleanings, such as scaling and root planing eliminate these bacteria and their environment and maintain good dental health.
Our expert dentist, Dr. Rita, diagnoses your gum or periodontal disease as it can start slowly and often without noticeable symptoms. Early signs may include redness, swelling, or bleeding of your gums, which can easily be overlooked. Visit us today and find the right solution for your healthy smile!
