DENTAL DEEP CLEANING

Brushing and flossing your teeth are essential dental hygiene habits, but they are not enough to keep your teeth healthy. You need a professional teeth cleaning in Markham to keep cavities and other serious oral conditions like gum disease at bay.

Deep cleanings, also known as scaling and root planing, involve a process where a dental professional will remove plaque and tartar build-up, bacteria, and food particles from between your teeth and under your gum line. When bacteria sits in these tight places, it can create an infection in your gums, which if left untreated, may result in tooth decay and even tooth loss.

Deep cleanings are much more involved than a regular dental cleaning. This is because the dental team will go below your gum line to remove substances that can inflame and infect the gums, not just above it and around it. A numbing substance may be required to decrease your pain level and keep you comfortable throughout the entire procedure.

During this procedure, your dental professional may work to reshape your gums to prevent food debris and bacteria from unseen cracks and crevices. While the recovery from this procedure is fairly minor, the extent of the cleaning performed will determine how quickly and easily your healing process will be. For more extensive cleaning, you may need some antibiotics and other medications to ensure your gum line heals properly, and to lessen your chance of a possible infection in your gums.

Gum disease is not something you should take lightly. It affects millions of people each year and can be extremely serious. Caring for your teeth through regular dental visits is vital to keep your teeth healthy and decrease your chance of this disease.
