Deep Cleanings for Healthier Teeth and Gums<\/span><\/h2>\n

Your Lincoln dentist will recommend a deep teeth cleaning when your gums show signs of periodontitis, or gum disease. If it happens to you, don\u2019t panic — some 75 percent of American adults suffer from the condition to some extent. The important thing is to treat gum disease early, as soon as it is detected. Left unattended, the condition can lead to far more serious problems, including heart disease, tooth loss and diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Deep Cleanings Work<\/span><\/h3>\n

Also called scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning involves reaching below the gumline to remove plaque and tartar buildup from the root, too. Regular cleanings only focus on the visible portion of the teeth — but in a deep cleaning, your dentist will use special hand-held tools to completely clean the tooth and its root. The treatment is a non-surgical procedure that reverses the symptoms of gum disease for fresher breath and a healthier mouth. <\/span><\/p>\n

Depending on the level of infection present in your gums, the entire procedure for scaling and root planing may be carried out over two to four visits to Williamsburg Dental. A local anaesthesia is available for your complete comfort throughout the treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Preventing Gum Disease<\/span><\/h3>\n

Once you\u2019ve had your deep cleaning, it\u2019s vital that you maintain good oral health habits to prevent the reemergence of gum disease. Keep these tips in mind to help yourself maintain healthy gums for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n
