Dental Cleanings

Dental health is more than just regular brushing and flossing. It is a careful initiative to ensure that your teeth are well nourished and well kept throughout your life. Although daily brushing and flossing can keep away from a really good chance of attaining oral infections, it is likely that the patient would need a routine dental visit to the dentist once in every six months for deep cleaning.

Getting a routine dental cleaning is a great way to ensure your teeth are clean and functioning. The dental hygienist would be able to scrape along the sides of the gum line to remove any signs of build-up or tartar.

What is deep cleaning?

Deep cleaning is a dental procedure performed by a dental hygienist to treat gum and periodontal diseases. The hygienist will make use of a dental probe to see if the patient has any signs of pocketing. Pockets are bacteria-filled gum tissues that may have formed due to bad dental hygiene and irregular brushing habits.

What is involved in a deep cleaning process?

Deep cleaning is also known as scaling and root planing. It involves the removal of plaque and tartar from the teeth and gums. The process can be done by using instruments that would gently scrape away plaque and tartar from the surface of the roots. Dental hygienists typically use either an electriceor ultrasonic instrument or manual scaling tools.
