Dental cleanings are vital to ensure the long-lasting health of your teeth and gums. Routine dental cleaning sessions with your dentist are essential to maintain the sparkle of your shine! Your dentist will consult with you and set up a dental care routine or procedure. In most cases, once or twice a month is suitable for most people
If you do not pay attention to your dental health, things will catch up very quickly. Before you know it, you will be confronted with a wide range of dental problems. Not only will it cost more eventually, but you may also suffer discomfort and pain. Torbram Dental in Brampton ensures that you do not have to go through these hardships. Torbram Dental will ensure you schedule routine dental cleanings and offer a comfortable setting to discuss which oral care methods work best for you.
Below we will discuss the four most types of dental cleanings. Whether you are looking for preventative oral care or depending on the existing condition of your teeth and gums, one of these methods will suit your needs.
Gross debridement
If you have not visited the dentist in ages and have neglected your dental health, you should go for gross debridement. Gross debridement is a process that involves a thorough deep-clean of tartar and plaque from every corner of your mouth. If you are consistent and take regular care of your teeth, you would likely not need a gross debridement treatment. Your dentist will monitor the condition and progression of your dental health to determine whether or not you need gross debridement cleaning.
Periodontal maintenance
Many individuals suffer from severe and chronic dental conditions that require regular checkups from the dentist. An example includes those suffering from gingivitis or periodontitis. Both conditions will require periodontal maintenance to recover their dental health.
If you are going for periodontal maintenance, you will need to visit the dentist very often, generally at a predetermined frequency. Periodontal maintenance treatment continues until all your dental issues are resolved. It is vital to cooperate closely with your dentist to facilitate the procedures correctly.
Prophylaxis cleaning
Suppose you take care of your dental health and follow good dental practices. In that case, your dentist is likely to recommend prophylaxis cleaning. You can think of it as regular maintenance of your teeth and gums with the help of an experienced dentist. The experienced dentists and dental hygienists at Torbram Dental will perform periodic cleanup of tartar and plaque deposits to give you the best prophylaxis cleaning experience.
People who go for prophylaxis cleaning usually already have good dental practices. They also go for other treatments like teeth whitening. If your dentist recommends you prophylaxis cleaning, you must already be following good habits. If you continue with these practices, you are likely to enjoy good dental health for a long time.
Scaling and root planning
Unlike the other procedures mentioned above, scaling and root planning involve treating the gums. It is a mildly invasive procedure but is non-surgical. The procedure cleans your gums, gum lines, and all the structures that support your teeth. The procedure usually needs multiple sessions with your dentist since the process is long and intensive. If you suffer from gum problems like gingivitis, scaling and root plannings are for you.
Dental health is often overlooked in the busy schedule of our lives. Unfortunately, teeth and gum problems can be very severe if not treated correctly or at the right time. Regularly visiting your dentist is the best thing you can do to protect your teeth, gums, and smile. The range of treatments is expanding very fast, whether there is an increase of effective dental procedures or newer technology. Speak with a dentist today at Torbram Dental to determine which dental cleaning procedure is best for you.
