Dental cleanings are key to maintaining healthy teeth and gums. During a dental cleaning, a dentist or dental hygienist will remove bacteria, plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth surfaces
You are incorrect if you think you are in perfect health just by cleaning your teeth with a toothbrush. You need to understand the relevance of teeth cleaning, also called dental cleaning.
You may have a prolonged delay in the dental check-up. In such a situation, we may advise you the deep professional teeth cleaning.
Harmful bacteria will attack your teeth in the form of plaque and tartar deposits. This formation can emit toxins leading to gum disease at an initial stage called gingivitis. The same condition can take the shape of the advanced form called periodontitis.
With the progression of the periodontitis, you can have the following conditions:
When the calculus (tartar) is formed even beyond gum line, deeper cleaning is required. It is also called root planning.
Dental LASER is the best tool available for this procedure and it promotes healing with new regeneration of gum fibers which were lost in gum disease. This procedure is called LANAP (LASER Assisted New Attachment Procedure).
With regular teeth cleaning (scaling) and follow ups, you can stop the teeth or bone loss shortly. You can also save money on costly reconstructive procedures at the later stages.
To remove the hidden calculus, ultrasonic scaler is used. It will reach all the surfaces and gaps of the teeth to eradicate the hidden calculus and plaque from the gum and teeth.
