WHY WOULD MY DENTIST GIVE ME A DEEP CLEANING ?
At our dentistry, deep cleaning involves your dentist going below the gumline and heading towards the root of the tooth. We clean plaque around the root of the tooth in a treatment called scaling.
If you have been told that you need a “deep cleaning”, it probably means that you have a gum infection around your teeth stemming from the roots. Periodontal disease is considered a “treatable” disease, but not typically a “curable” disease. If treated early, you can avoid a potential need for surgery or even dentures. Some people are more prone to gum disease than others. There are many health conditions and oral habits along with home teeth care habits that contribute to whether you have periodontal disease or not.
WHAT CAN CAUSE PERIODONTAL DISEASE?
At Sage Dental in Wall, NJ, Dr. Avi Israeli wants to be the dentist to save your teeth. He understands that your health is your wealth. Without healthy teeth and surrounding gums, you may begin to lose your teeth. This can contribute to poor dietary and nutritional conditions where you can’t chew your food properly or get the proper nutrients. In turn, this can lead to several other overall health conditions.
As mentioned above, some things you have control over and some things you don’t. Smoking, drinking alcohol, mouth breathing, not brushing after meals or before going to bed, not flossing, and eating lots of sticky candy and carbs can definitely contribute to poor oral hygiene and may even need some cosmetic adjustments. Age, genetics and some health conditions you may have little or no control over.
Professional intervention at our dentistry can help considerably in the effort to get your oral health under control. Patients who need the deep cleanings are typically on a more frequent cleaning schedule and may require supplemental aids at home, Things like a Rotadent®, or a WaterPik® or a Sonicare® electric toothbrush may assist with home cleaning in tougher to reach areas of your smile.
HOW CAN I PREVENT PERIODONTAL DISEASE OUTSIDE OF THE DENTISTRY?
It all starts with coming in for regular check-ups and maintenance visits. When your dentist and hygienist team up to provide you with a professional cleaning, the other 361-363 days of the year that you AREN’T in our dentistry are as important. Consolidating your intake of sugars and then rinsing with water after meals to swish the food off your teeth can be a place to start! Depending upon your particular situation will determine the type of toothpaste we might suggest. If you get frequent cavities, we might suggest a baking soda toothpaste to help neutralize the acids. In addition, if you build up plaque and tartar on your teeth quickly, we might suggest using a toothpaste specific for that.
Mouth rinses and mouthwashes have their place in home care for a cleaner smile, but nothing takes the place of regular brushing and flossing to remove food stuck under bridges, around orthodontic brackets, or crowded teeth, In addition, flossing has been shown to potentially increase your life-span by as much as ten years! This can lower your risk for heart disease, preventing bacteria from entering your bloodstream. The same bacteria found in plaque around your teeth is the same bacteria often found in patients who have heart problems and high-blood pressure!
Keeping regular care and taking your healthy mouth maintenance visits is the best way to minimize your need for more extreme treatment. Let our hygienist show you the best home care protocol for your particular situation.
