WHAT IS DENTAL DEEP CLEANING?

Dental deep cleaning is a thorough treatment designed to reach the hidden areas beneath your gum line, where plaque and tartar tend to accumulate. Over time, this buildup can lead to gum disease, cavities, and other oral health issues.

Our deep cleaning procedure involves scaling and root planing to carefully remove hardened plaque and bacteria from your teeth and gums, helping to restore a healthier, cleaner mouth.

RISK FACTORS FOR NEEDING A DEEP CLEANING

  • Gum disease: If you have gingivitis or periodontitis, deep cleaning can remove plaque and tartar from under the gumline
  • Smoking: Smoking can contribute to plaque buildup and a higher likelihood of gum disease
  • Poor oral hygiene: Not brushing or flossing regularly can lead to tartar accumulation, making deep cleaning necessary
  • Health conditions: Conditions like diabetes can increase your susceptibility to gum disease
  • Pregnancy: Hormonal changes during pregnancy can affect the health of your gums and lead to gingivitis

If you’re experiencing any of these, consult our trusted Reidsville dentists to evaluate the health of your gums and teeth.

SYMPTOMS INDICATING YOU MAY NEED A DEEP CLEANING

  • Bleeding gums: Gums bleed when brushing or flossing can be an early sign of gum disease
  • Bad breath: Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth, even after brushing, can indicate infection or bacteria buildup
  • Receding gums: If your gums are pulling away from your teeth, it may be a sign of gum disease that requires deep cleaning
  • Loose teeth: Loose teeth can suggest an advanced stage of gum disease, which deep cleaning can help manage
  • Swollen or inflamed gums: Gums that appear swollen or inflamed are often signs of bacterial buildup that needs to be addressed

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long does a dental deep cleaning procedure take?

The procedure typically takes one to two hours, depending on the severity of the buildup and whether it’s done in one or two visits.

Is dental deep cleaning painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort, especially with the use of local anesthesia. After the procedure, you may have mild soreness in your gums, which should subside within a few days.

How often should I get a deep cleaning?

The frequency depends on your oral health condition. Typically, patients with gum disease may need deep cleaning once a year, but your dentist will recommend the best plan for your needs.

Can I return to work or daily activities after a deep cleaning?

Yes, most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure. However, you may want to avoid extremely hot or cold foods for a few hours.

Will a deep cleaning make my teeth whiter?

While the primary goal of deep cleaning is to improve gum health and remove harmful plaque, many patients notice a brighter smile afterward. The removal of tartar and surface stains can enhance the appearance of teeth.

Can deep cleaning reverse gum disease?

Deep cleaning can’t completely reverse advanced gum disease, but it can stop its progression and help your gums heal. Regular follow-up care and good oral hygiene are essential for maintaining the results.

Periodontal disease is very treatable but cannot be fully cured. After the completion of your periodontics treatment, you will be scheduled for regular ongoing maintenance care. These visits will involve a thorough professional deep cleaning in Reidsville, NC, and monitoring of your oral health to ensure the disease does not recur and progress further.

We recommend scheduling your periodontal maintenance visits and your general dentistry visits on an alternating schedule. This ensures you are receiving the proper care and treatments for your oral health needs in a timely, consistent manner.
