Why do I need a deep-cleaning?
DEEP-CLEAN VS. ROUTINE CLEAN When a Deep‑Cleaning Is Necessary
Many dental patients ask this question. At our office we often say a deep-cleaning is “gum infection therapy.” The deep-cleaning addresses an infection called periodontal disease, an infection surrounding the gums and the bone that support the teeth. Without treatment, you risk losing your teeth earlier in life due to this infection. Some patients ask, “Can I just treat it with a regular cleaning?” The answer is no. The gum infection therapy deep-cleaning is not the same as a regular dental cleaning. Gum infection therapy is a dental procedure aimed at treating the gum disease, while a routine teeth cleaning is a procedure to prevent it. Gum infection therapy requires local anesthetic, a longer appointment time, and a very thorough removal of bacteria and tartar accumulation not only above or at the gumline but also under the gumline (roots of the teeth). Lasers can also be used to remove damaged tissues and promote new, healthy cell growth. Does this sound scary? We offer all types of sedation for this procedure and make sure you are nice and comfortable. Don’t risk losing your teeth due to this infection! If you experience bleeding gums and bad breath, please give us a call. Our amazing and gentle hygienists are here to help you!
Sincerely,
-Tiffany Crocker, RDH
