Deep Cleaning (SRP)
Periodontist in Sunset, FL
A deep cleaning session at Sunset Smile Creations consists of gum scaling and root planing. The treatment has been designed to clean in between your teeth and deep down your dental roots. The procedure starts with standard dental cleaning, and the same is continued deep down the roots, below your gum line. Our dentist would remove the bacteria and tartar from the pockets present between your teeth, root, and gums, which is the leading cause behind periodontal issues.
You would need to come twice or more to our dental clinic for deep cleaning your teeth and roots. Scaling would be done in the first appointment, and the second will be reserved for root planning. The whole procedure would be done after applying local anesthesia, not to feel any discomfort or pain.
What are the benefits of deep cleaning?
Expert dentists at Sunset Smile Creations would recommend deep cleaning only after examining your teeth thoroughly. They might ask you to get an X-ray done, if necessary. If you have diseased gums, gingivitis, etc., wherein they notice your gums are pulling away from your teeth root, they might suggest deep cleaning for your condition.
Leaving pockets that are more than 5mm deep untreated would be the home to bacteria, infection, etc., and it would loosen your tooth too. With deep cleaning, you will be able to reduce your gum pockets’ size and halt the progression of periodontal diseases.
