We also deliver the newest state-of-the-art dental technology here providing a fairly modern and less painful ultrasonic cleaning of teeth to get deep into the pockets of your teeth. Additionally, periodontal cleanings are perfect for stopping gum recession in its tracks and getting rid of any bacteria that invaded your teeth in the process if you suffer from receding gums. The procedure for dental cleaning is simple, convenient, and inexpensive and will ensure that your smile looks the best!

The cleaning process is fairly quick and painless! It may also include a yearly X-Ray to ensure you are not susceptible to bone ells or tooth decay. Cleanings are an important preventative measure against gum disease and recession. Gum disease occurs when the gum and mouth becomes inflamed and infected. Infection occurs when plaque and tartar are left behind to accumulate in the mouth. Early stages of gum disease can cause inflammation, swelling, and even bleeding. As gum disease progresses, your gums will begin to recede from the tooth line. Gum recession causes pockets to form in between your teeth and gums; these pockets accumulate harmful bacteria. This bacteria can break down the innermost structures of the tooth leading to bone loss and eventual tooth loss. To prevent the harmful process of gum recession, cleanings are necessary to extract plaque left behind before it infects the gum. The oral exam given at routine cleanings are also used to detect early cases of gum disease and stop it before it progresses to a dangerous point.

Ultrasonic cleanings use a fairly new technology called an ultrasonic scaler or cavitron. Using ultrasonic vibrations, this scaler penetrates deep into the crevices and pocket of the teeth removing built up plaque and tartar. Water also flows into the mouth while the scaler works to prevent the system from overheating to wash away any cracked debris. If you have a big build-up of tartar or if you have periodontal disease, ultrasonic dental cleaning might be right for you. The ultrasonic system reduces the cleaning time of the teeth and gets deeper than conventional cleaning by hand scaling.  For the optimal effect, our specialists combine ultrasonic and hand scaling, leaving your teeth feeling and looking clean!

Periodontal cleaning is a treatment for moderate cases of gum recession. The process of periodontal cleaning includes root planing and scaling. Plaque and tartar stuck in the exposed pockets are carefully extracted by the dentist sometimes using both a hand scaler and ultrasonic scaler. After the extraction, the gums are smoothed over to avoid further bacteria from infecting them. The dentist will also irrigate these pockets with antiseptic medicine to reduce inflammation or infection. Your dentist may also prescribe an antibacterial mouthwash to eliminate the lingering bacteria. A simple periodontal cleaning is the best defense against the moderate stages of gum disease. Periodontal cleanings will stop gum disease in its tracks and prevent it from progressing to the point of tooth loss.
