If you have gum inflammation, brushing and flossing more vigorously isn’t enough to reverse the damage. Even a regular cleaning might not tackle gum disease. Enter the dental deep cleaning, a.k.a. scaling and root planing (SRP) treatment. Arches Dental Care offers this specialized periodontal cleaning for Indian Land gum disease sufferers to get their oral health back on track.
Unlike a regular dental cleaning, SRP tackles plaque and tartar below the gum line. Our periodontic dentist also adds a step to prevent gum disease from coming back.
But how do you know if you need a gum disease cleaning?
A lot of blood in the sink is a sign to step up your gum health game.
Excessive buildup can’t be removed at home.
Teeth that look bigger are victims of gum recession.
This is a warning sign that you need to do more than just floss more.
Here’s what you can expect during a dental deep cleaning:
We don’t just jump to SRP. We’ll perform a thorough assessment of your gums and teeth and discuss your options with you.
If you have a dental phobia or special needs, we can provide amenities, local anesthesia, or sedation dentistry to help you relax.
Using specialized tools, we remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line, which will help reduce gum inflammation.
We smooth out your tooth roots, getting rid of pockets where bacteria can thrive and helping your gums reattach.
Maintaining gum and oral health goes beyond just completing the scaling and root planing procedure. A comprehensive plan from Arches Dental Care ensures your progress is sustainable in the long term. After your cleaning, our team will work with you to establish a regimen that addresses your specific needs.
This may involve regular checkups, additional cleanings, and educational materials to equip you with techniques for effective at-home dental care. Preventive measures and lifestyle recommendations avoid the recurrence of gum disease. By prioritizing your continued oral well-being, we support you in achieving a healthier smile for years to come.
We remember your name, your preferences, and the little things that make your visit special so that you feel valued and appreciated.
Our goal is not just to treat one problem but to restore full function to your smile and preserve your oral health long-term.
From pillows and warm, scented towels to TVs and headphones, our amenities will have you rethinking what dentistry can be.
Sometimes, your smile needs a little extra help. Don’t be afraid to ask for it. If your gums are inflamed or you’ve noticed signs of gum disease or gingivitis, contact Arches Dental Care for a gum therapy consultation. A deep dental cleaning could be your way to get a clean slate for your gum health again.
