Dental Deep Cleaning
At Aqua Dental, we provide comprehensive periodontal care to help our patients achieve and maintain optimal oral health. As part of our commitment to ensuring healthy gums and teeth, we offer dental deep cleanings. Also known as scaling and root planing, this procedure is a non-surgical treatment that aims to remove plaque, tartar, and other harmful bacteria that have accumulated below the gumline. Dental deep cleanings are an essential service that can prevent and treat periodontal disease, a serious condition that affects the gum tissues and the supporting bone structure of the teeth.
Scaling and Root Planing
Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical periodontal treatment that involves removing plaque and tartar buildup from above and below the gum line, as well as smoothing out rough spots on the tooth roots. The procedure is typically performed using specialized instruments to effectively clean the teeth and promote healing of the gum tissue. Scaling and root planing can help address gum disease and prevent further damage to the gums and bone supporting the teeth. It is an important part of maintaining good oral health and preventing tooth loss.
During a dental deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, patients can expect a thorough cleaning of their teeth and gums. Your Aqua Dental professional will use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar buildup above and below the gum line. They will also smooth out any rough spots on the tooth roots, known as planing, to prevent bacteria from accumulating in the future. The procedure may require sedation to ensure patient comfort. Depending on the extent of the cleaning needed, it may be completed in one or multiple appointments. Your dentist or hygienist will provide instructions for at-home care and may recommend follow-up appointments to monitor progress.
Benefits of Deep Cleanings
- Removes plaque and tartar: Deep cleanings help remove the buildup of plaque and tartar that regular brushing and flossing may not be able to get rid of.
- Fresher breath: By removing bacteria, deep cleanings can also help reduce bad breath caused by bacteria in the mouth.
- Reduces risk of systemic diseases: Studies have shown that maintaining good oral health can help reduce the risk of systemic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
- Improves overall health: Good oral health is an important part of overall health, and regular deep cleanings can help maintain healthy teeth and gums.
