Introduction

Deep tooth cleanings are an important part of dental care. They can help prevent gum disease, cavities and tooth loss. Here are some reasons why you should consider having a deep cleaning:
What is a deep tooth cleaning?

A deep cleaning is a procedure that removes plaque and tartar from your teeth. It's usually done by an oral surgeon, but it can also be done by dental hygienists and periodontists (dentists who specialize in gum disease).

The main difference between a deep cleaning and a regular cleaning is that with deep cleansers, we use instruments such as ultrasonic scalers or water jets to remove more of the tartar buildup than we would with just manual brushing alone. This method allows us to get into tight areas where traditional tools wouldn't fit; however, it does require more time for each appointment so you'll have to plan ahead if you want this type of cleaning regularly!

Why choose a deep cleaning?
• Helps prevent gum disease
• Helps prevent tooth decay
• Helps prevent tooth loss
• Helps prevent bad breath, pain and jaw pain in patients who have had cavities or root canals before surgery is performed on them (the procedure is called "dental implant surgery").

Who should get a deep cleaning?

If you have:
• A history of gum disease. If you've had periodontal (gum) disease in the past, or if your gums are otherwise inflamed and red, your dentist may recommend a deep cleaning.

• Deep pockets. If your teeth aren't biting down hard enough on food--and they're not because there's something wrong with them!--a deep cleaning will help freshen up the surfaces so that they can easily grab onto more nutrients from each bite. This can lead to improved dental health over time as well as fewer trips back to the dentist!

• Not recently received a deep cleaning from another dentist within 12 months before coming here."
How often should I get a deep cleaning?

How often you should get a deep cleaning depends on your dental history and the condition of your teeth. If you have gum disease, you may need to get a deeper cleaning more often. If you have had a root canal, it's important that we clean around the area where the tooth was treated with Novocain so that bacteria doesn't grow inside the tooth root.

What about fillings and crowns?

Deep cleaning can result in tooth damage and decay. Fillings and crowns are used to restore teeth that have been damaged or decayed. If you have lost a lot of your teeth, the dentist may recommend that you get a porcelain veneer on top of your existing teeth. Porcelain veneers are thin pieces of porcelain bonded onto the surface of your natural dentition by means of adhesive bonding materials such as resin cement. Porcelain veneers enhance their appearance and make them look natural while adding strength to support weak or damaged structures within the mouth which can be caused by trauma (such as sports injuries), poor dental hygiene habits (such as neglecting regular brushing) or genetic predisposition toward having crooked teeth.


Deep tooth cleanings help prevent gum disease, cavities and tooth loss

Gum disease is a condition caused by bacteria that eat away at your gums. If you have untreated gingivitis, the inflammation of your gums can lead to periodontitis (gum recession), which can cause bleeding and pain in your mouth. By removing plaque from deep within the teeth with a deep cleaning procedure, Our doctors will be able to restore healthy bacterial levels within the mouth so that these infections are prevented from returning again later on down the line when they may become more aggressive due to lack of treatment over time."

Conclusion
