Deep cleaning vs. routine cleaning
Regular brushing, flossing, and routine cleanings are the key to keeping your teeth and gums healthy.
With a deep cleaning, your periodontist will scale and plane your teeth deeper below the gumline to remove bacteria and remove buildup and give pockets the chance to heal and reattach.
Do I need periodontal scaling?
Deep cleaning is necessary when bacteria has become so pervasive that it cannot be removed using at-home and routine dental cleaning procedures.
In fact, performing a routine cleaning when a deep cleaning is necessary is counter-productive and risks disturbing and releasing built-up bacteria into your bloodstream.
We will most likely recommend a periodontal scaling and root planing procedure if you have…
- Extensive plaque and tartar buildup
- 4-5 millimeter pockets of bacteria
- Other signs of gum disease
Additionally, if you have a history of gum disease, a scaling and root planing procedure is often used in place of routine cleanings as a preventive measure.
What to expect from a scaling & root planing procedure
- We’ll use a local anesthetic to numb your gums and ensure your comfort.
- Using high-tech scaling & root planing instruments, we’ll clean the surface and roots of your teeth, removing the plaque and tartar that have collected.
- Patients often experience some soreness or sensitivity around the gums after scaling and root planing. This discomfort usually subsides in about four hours.
- Depending on your needs, we may recommend completing your deep cleaning over the course of two or more visits.
Everyone was nice, professional and able to answer any questions I had. If you want people who are passionate and care about your wellbeing, look no further.
