What Is A Deep Dental Cleaning?
When gum diseasestrikes, seeking treatment that protects the teeth and gums from further deterioration is essential. Also known as scaling and root planing, dental deep cleaning is a simple method to improve oral health conditions after periodontal disease. It has been proven time and time again that regular scaling and root planing treatments can improve your oral health in just a few visits with your deep cleaning dentist. At Lakewood Dental Studio, Dr. Leisa Robothamunderstands the importance of protecting against potential long-term damage and improving gum health through scaling and root planing.
Before you undergo any treatment, your dentist will examine your mouth and review any x-rays or other images to diagnose the cause of your toothache. If the cause turns out to be a tooth infection, your doctor will determine the extent of the damage and decide if root canal therapy can treat the problem.
To start things off, your dentist will clean and numb the treatment site, all the way down to the including the nerves with local anesthesia. If you would like to be sedated during the procedure, your doctor will help you decide what kind of sedation will be best for you.
Once the treatment area is sufficiently numb, your dentist will begin removing any decayed material beginning with the enamel. They will continue towards the center of the tooth, and clear any infected pulp from inside the tooth. Once the interior of the tooth’s canals have been thoroughly cleaned, the area is flushed with disinfectant to eliminate any remaining bacteria.
KEEP TEETH HEALTHY
Nothing can stop you after your teeth receive the treatment they deserve—bacteria and plaque won’t even stand a chance! After a dental deep cleaning, bacteria and plaque are less likely to stick to the smooth surfaces of the teeth, which provides added protection against gum disease and tooth decay.
DECREASE INFLAMMATION
After scaling and root planing, inflammation should soon disappear, yielding health benefits throughout the body.
LESS GUM RECESSION
Keeping your smile clean and healthy doesn't just keep you looking great. A well-executed dental deep cleaning helps gums stay firmly connected too! Smooth roots are the key to solid gum attachment.
Scaling and root planing are two different techniques. Often paired together, scaling refers to scraping away bacterial buildup, and root planing refers to smoothing the tooth root and reattaching the gums.
THINK YOU MAY NEED A ROOT CANAL?
Scaling and root planing help keep your teeth in tip-top shape and play a crucial role in preventing gum disease from worsening with time. If you start now, dental deep cleaning can save your smile by stopping mild cases of gum disease from progressing into more serious periodontal issues like loose or lost teeth!
Don't stress! This procedure is made simple and comfortable with the help of a local anesthetic. You may experience some soreness afterward, but that discomfort will pass soon enough.
