Our Patients Often Ask:

  • Regular cleaning involves removing plaque and tartar from above the gum line and is suitable for patients with good oral health and no bone loss around teeth. Periodontal cleaning, or scaling and root planing, goes deeper below the gum line to address periodontal disease and prevent any further bone loss in the future.

  • Most dentists recommend having your teeth professionally cleaned every six months. However, if you have periodontal diseases or have other ongoing dental issues, more frequent cleanings such as every 3-4 months might be suggested.

  • Deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is a procedure used to treat gum disease and prevent bone loss around the teeth. It involves a thorough cleaning of the root surfaces to remove plaque and tartar from deep periodontal pockets and to smooth the tooth root to remove bacterial toxins.

  • Poor oral hygiene can lead to periodontal disease, which has been linked to heart disease. Bacteria from inflamed gums can enter your bloodstream and travel to the heart, increasing the risk of heart attack, stroke, or heart infection.

  • Yes, regular dental cleanings can improve your overall health. By reducing the levels of harmful bacteria in your mouth, dental cleanings help prevent the spread of infection and inflammation to other parts of your body.

  • Dental prophylaxis is a preventive treatment performed to clean the teeth thoroughly and halt the progression of gingivitis. This is crucial for maintaining the patient's excellent oral health and is recommended for patients who show no signs of periodontal issues.

  • Deep scaling involves removing plaque and tartar from below the gum line where regular cleaning does not reach. It is usually performed when there is significant tartar build-up, and the gums have begun to pull away from the teeth, forming pockets. This treatment helps prevent further damage to the gum tissue and bone by periodontal infection.
