After your regular check-up, your dentist suggests you need deep teeth cleaning. Why is this dental hygiene service important?
A deep tooth cleaning is the removal of plaque and tartar from your teeth roots and below your gumline. These two cleaning methods are known as root planning and scaling at the dentist.
So, why should you go to get this dental hygiene service?
You want your teeth and gums to be attached since a gap could lead to food particles getting stuck along your gum line, resulting in infection. The plaque below your gum line can cause a gap where bacteria can begin to grow, but a deep teeth cleaning can help to re-attach your teeth correctly to your gumline.
Excess amounts of plaque and tartar can lead to gum infection. By getting deep teeth cleaning, you are allowing your dental hygienist to help prevent things like inflammation and gingivitis.
You can’t just rely on your dental hygienist to keep your teeth and gums healthy. You need to make sure you eat a healthy diet, brush and floss your teeth regularly, and keep those all-important dental appointments. Performing these tasks will help maintain your overall oral health by preventing the build-up of negative toxins.
Have you noticed your gums are inflamed? Inflamed gums are often a sign of gum disease. If you notice your teeth are bleeding every time your brush, then it’s time to get to the dentist for deep cleaning.
