The Benefits of Periodontal Care
Restore Your Health
When caught early, periodontal treatment can undo the effects of gingivitis and restore your smile to its natural, healthy state.
Prevent Further Damage
By getting regular periodontal maintenance, you can keep your smile healthy and prevent the damaging buildup of plaque and bacteria.
Save Money
Investing in periodontal care now can help you avoid more expensive and invasive procedures down the line, such as gum grafts, tooth extractions, and dental implants.
The Deep Cleaning Process
Local Anesthetic
To start, your dentist will numb the area with a local anesthetic. This ensures that you stay comfortable throughout the treatment. Deep cleanings can sometimes cause more sensitivity than regular dental cleanings, but our gentle numbing techniques will keep you at ease.
Scaling & Root Planing
Once you're comfortably numb, your dentist will use specialized tools to "scale" away the tartar and plaque that has built up between your teeth and below your gum line. This removes the harmful bacteria that cause gum disease. After your teeth and gums are cleaned, your dentist will "plane," or smooth out, the roots of your teeth. This step eliminates the pockets and pits that form below the roots, where harmful bacteria like to hide.
Antibiotic Treatment
To complete your deep cleaning, your dentist will provide an antibiotic treatment to promote healing. Depending on your specific needs, this may involve topical antibiotics applied directly to your gums during the procedure, an antibiotic rinse for you to use at home, or an oral antibiotic prescription.
