Regular and Deep Cleanings
Getting your teeth cleaned is absolutely essential for short and long-term dental health. For most people, brushing your teeth after every meal, and flossing every day is an impossible task. In this case, getting your teeth cleaned by Advanced Dentistry is the best way to prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and other diseases.
The specific type of cleaning you need depends entirely on the job you do at home. If you practice great dental hygiene at home, a routine dental cleaning is exactly what you need to maintain your dental health.
If you’ve been neglecting your dental hygiene, you may need a deep cleaning. You should never feel afraid to seek help from us though. We want you to feel happier about your mouth, and getting a deep cleaning is just one step in getting your dental health back on track.
Regular Cleanings
A regular cleaning involves scraping plaque and tartar off of your teeth. You should never feel alarmed that there is a buildup of plaque and tartar around your teeth and gums, as a natural build up will occur as you eat food on the go, forget to wash your mouth out, or forget to brush your teeth. It happens to everyone, and that’s why routine teeth cleanings exist.
Now, scraping tartar and plaque away is not the only thing we do. Here’s a couple other things you can expect during your teeth cleaning visit:
- An initial screening where we check for gingivitis and other potential dental issues.
- An Advanced Screening, where we check for oral cancer in and around your mouth and throat.
- A standard scraping of the teeth (plaque and tartar removal).
- High-Powered brushing and teeth scrub (removes and excess tartar).
- Advanced flossing techniques that remove any debris and helps us locate sensitive spots.
- Fluoride treatment (helps fight cavities for months to come).
- Much more!
Deep Cleanings
A deep cleaning involves a slightly more intricate process in which we dig deeper into your gums to remove built up pockets of tartar. This may be because you have been missing out on routine cleanings, or haven’t been to a dentist at all.
In this case, we’ll perform an advanced analysis of your gums and teeth to determine if you have something called periodontal disease. If you feel as though you have periodontal disease, or you feel something is out of the ordinary, we’d love to hear from you.
