Deep Cleaning
Deep Cleaning
After a thorough dental exam, your dentist may determine that you need a deep cleaning. Deep cleanings are also known as scaling and root planing. The experts at Smiles Plus Dental Care will provide you with exactly what you need to stop the spread of gum disease. Your dental hygienist will clean away the plaque and tartar that builds up even with brushing and flossing. The tartar and plaque provide a place for bacteria to grow and erode the gums in periodontal disease. Your comfort and oral health are very important to us at Smiles Plus Dental Care!
You may need a deep cleaning to:
-Relieve tooth sensitivity that is caused by gum disease.
-Strengthen gums to help with bleeding or tenderness when brushing or flossing.
-Stop the spread of gum disease.
-Save your gums and prevent a tooth extraction.
-Stop the bacteria in your gums from spreading to other parts of your body causing other health concerns.
-Improve your smile by getting rid of plaque and tartar that can make your teeth look stained and yellow.
-Improve your smile by helping with receding gums.
-Freshen your breath so food particles don’t get stuck in gum pockets causing decay and infection that can cause bad breath.

During your consultation, our highly trained team at Smiles Plus Dental Care will do an examination, take x-rays and go over your options to make an individualized plan for you. We will do a deep cleaning for you, including scaling and root planing. Our highly trained hygienists will remove plaque and tartar above and below the gum line. Since this is a more extensive cleaning, you may need a topical numbing agent during this procedure. You may also need an antibiotic to kill any leftover bacteria. We want to do whatever is necessary for your comfort and to stop the spread of gum disease and protect your smile!

The diagnosis process of periodontal disease
Our experts use a special probe to measure the pulled-away gums from your teeth. We involve digital dental X-rays and a standard cleaning to check the bone loss. After that, we recommend an oral care plan with deep teeth cleaning.
Instruction to follow after deep cleaning
Our experts give you information to help with sensitivity, like desensitizing toothpaste, using a special mouth rinse, and counter pain medication. We offer homecare tips to follow after deep teeth cleaning, like brushing twice a day, using antimicrobial mouthwash, flossing daily, maintaining good oral hygiene practices, and maintaining regular dental visits.
