The power of prevention
Professional teeth cleaning for a healthy smile
Professional teeth cleanings are an important part of taking care of your oral health! Not only do they give you a beautiful smile, but they also remove plaque and harmful bacteria that can lead to cavities or even gum disease and other harmful oral health issues.
Understanding Scaling and Root Planing
Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical therapeutic procedure that goes beyond regular dental cleaning to address gum disease. This deep cleaning treatment removes plaque, tartar, and bacterial toxins from both above and below the gum line, helping to halt the progression of periodontal disease and promote healing of the gum tissues.
When Is Deep Cleaning Necessary?
Our Woodland Hills dentist might recommend this treatment if you’re showing signs of early to moderate periodontal disease. Common indicators include persistent bad breath, bleeding or tender gums, and a receding gumline. Deep periodontal pockets, visible tartar buildup, bone loss, and loose teeth are also significant signs that scaling and root planing might be necessary for your oral health.
The Treatment Process
Our skilled dental team approaches scaling and root planing with precision and care to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. The treatment typically occurs over one or two visits, depending on the extent of your gum disease.
Before beginning treatment, we conduct a thorough examination of your gums, measuring pocket depths and assessing inflammation levels. This helps us determine the extent of cleaning needed and develop your personalized treatment plan.
During the procedure, we carefully remove plaque and tartar deposits from your tooth surfaces and root areas using advanced instruments and techniques. Local anesthesia is provided to minimize any discomfort during the process. Following your treatment, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to support optimal healing.
Our mission is to ensure that our patients have the best oral care. The best way to do so is through regular dental checkups and teaching our patients how to practice good oral hygiene at home. Together, we can ensure your smile stays its happiest and healthiest for years to come!
