What Is a Deep Dental Cleaning?
Unlike a regular cleaning that only addresses the surface of your teeth, a deep dental cleaning goes below the gum line to remove plaque and tartar buildup from the roots of your teeth. This procedure can be crucial in preventing or treating periodontal disease, also known as gum disease.
Why It’s Important
“Our mouths are the gateway to our bodies,” notes Dr. John Phillips III of 29th Street Dental Care. “Keeping them healthy helps prevent other systemic health issues. A deep cleaning can be crucial in maintaining that balance,” he says.
Many of our patients have reported a drastic improvement in their dental health and overall confidence after committing to regular deep cleanings. One patient shared, “My experience has been a very pleasant one. Every visit has been painless and very thorough. The staff was so friendly” .
Signs You May Need a Deep Dental Cleaning
Persistent Bad Breath
Bad breath can be more than an embarrassment; it can be a clue that something’s wrong beneath the surface. If you notice persistent bad breath even after brushing and flossing, it might be time for a deep cleaning. One of our patients mentioned, “I can’t explain how amazing the experience at this office is. It’s not just a dentist appointment. It’s more of an experience, the staff is so sweet, helpful, and welcoming” .
Gum Troubles
If your gums are swollen, bleeding, or receding, these might be signs of gum disease that could benefit from a more comprehensive cleaning. Another patient applauded, “From the moment you walk through the door, you can tell it’s going to be okay, even if you are nervous about someone prodding around at your teeth. The front desk is second to none” .
Tartar Buildup
Noticeable tartar or plaque that won’t go away with regular brushing or flossing is a strong signal you need a deep cleaning. Routine visits to our office can prevent tartar from becoming more serious issues. Some of our patients have praised our attention to detail during cleanings, emphasizing the friendly and skilled care they receive.
Risks of Ignoring These Signs
Ignoring signs of dental issues doesn’t make them go away; it often leads to more significant problems that can affect your health and self-esteem. Untreated gum disease can lead to tooth loss and has been linked to conditions like heart disease and diabetes. As one loyal patient recounts, “My experience as a whole was great. They are all very professional and gentle with their clients” .
