Periodontic 😬 Deep Cleaning
Why Choose Mission Dental Care for Deep Cleanings
What to expect when you visit our periodontist
During a deep cleaning, the periodontist will use a probe to measure your gum pockets. Pockets are spaces between your gums and teeth that are wider than five millimeters. According to the American Academy of Periodontology, everyone should have their gums examined by a dentist at least once a year.
If the dentist detects pockets that are larger than normal, deep cleaning is often the best treatment.
The proper term for deep cleaning is scaling and root planing. This procedure involves getting rid of tartar and plaque from gum pockets and teeth surfaces. This can be done using traditional dentistry tools or ultrasonic instruments.
Scaling and root planing typically requires two visits to the dentist. Follow up appointments are often required to ensure that your gums are healthier and free of pockets.
