Thorough Treatment for Gum Disease
Dentist Largo
Periodontal disease is very treatable, but it cannot be fully cured. After completing your periodontitis treatment, you will be scheduled for regular ongoing maintenance care. These visits will involve a thorough professional cleaning and monitoring of your oral health to ensure the disease does not recur and progress further.
We recommend scheduling your periodontal maintenance visits and your general dentistry visits on an alternating schedule. This ensures you receive the proper care and treatments for your oral health needs in a timely, consistent manner.
A dental deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is a procedure that goes beyond routine cleaning and is typically recommended for patients who have gum disease or are at risk of developing it. During the procedure, our dental professionals will use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar buildup from below the gum line and smooth out rough spots on the teeth roots to prevent bacteria from accumulating.
Advantages of a Dental Deep Cleaning
Dental deep cleaning provides comprehensive care for patients suffering from gum disease, offering numerous health benefits and improvements in oral hygiene.
- Prevents the progression of gum disease and improves overall oral health.
- Reduces the risk of other health problems associated with gum disease, such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
- Results in fresher breath and whiter teeth.
- Promotes a healthier, more vibrant smile.
