Cleaning

Teeth cleaning, including deep cleaning and gum curettage, is essential for maintaining oral health, preventing gum disease, and promoting a healthy smile.

Dental Cleaning

Regular dental cleanings, also known as prophylaxis, are typically performed every six months as part of routine dental care. During a dental cleaning, our skilled dental hygienists carefully remove plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth. The process involves the following steps:

Evaluation: Before starting the cleaning procedure, our dental team will evaluate your oral health, including examining your teeth, gums, and overall oral cavity.

Plaque and Tartar Removal: Using specialized instruments, our dental hygienists gently and meticulously remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth. This process, known as scaling, targets the areas above and below the gumline, where harmful bacteria accumulate.

Polishing: After scaling, your teeth will be polished to remove any remaining stains and to provide a smooth and shiny surface. This step enhances the appearance of your teeth and helps prevent future plaque accumulation.

Oral Hygiene Instructions: Our dental professionals will provide personalized oral hygiene instructions, including proper brushing and flossing techniques, as well as recommendations for oral care products.

Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planning)

Deep cleaning, also called scaling and root planning, is a non-surgical procedure specifically designed to treat gum disease, especially when it has progressed to the stage of periodontitis. The procedure involves the following steps:

Evaluation and Anesthesia: Before the deep cleaning procedure, our dental team will evaluate your gum health and determine the extent of gum disease. Local anesthesia or, in some cases, sedation may be administered to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

Scaling: Our dental professionals use specialized instruments to carefully remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the surfaces of your teeth and below the gumline. This process eliminates the sources of infection and helps to promote gum healing.

Root Planning: After scaling, the tooth roots are carefully smoothed to remove rough surfaces and bacterial deposits. Root planning helps to discourage the accumulation of bacteria and allows the gums to reattach to the teeth more effectively.

Gum Curettage

Gum curettage is a procedure often performed in conjunction with scaling and root planing to remove diseased or inflamed gum tissue. It involves the following steps:

Evaluation: Our dental professionals will evaluate your gum health and determine if gum curettage is necessary. This procedure is typically recommended when there is excessive gum tissue or areas of diseased tissue that need to be removed.

Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to ensure your comfort during the procedure.

Curettage: Using specialized instruments called curettes, our dental professionals carefully remove the diseased or inflamed gum tissue. This process promotes gum healing and allows for the healthy reattachment of the gums to the teeth.
