What are the benefits of deep teeth cleaning?

A deep teeth cleaning is a process in which the dentist goes down to the root of the tooth, below the gum line, eliminating tartar and other build-ups from the pocket formed between the tooth and gums with specialized dental equipment. Deep teeth cleaning is also known as deep gum cleaning. It is generally indicated for people who haven't had regular dental cleaning sessions in a while, but it may be recommended for anyone with periodontal problems or gum disease. If you haven't seen a dentist in Kolkata recently, you should make an appointment for deep cleaning. 

  • Reduce gum disease: Usually, gum disease is caused by plaque build-up. Tooth plaque and bacteria can be removed with a deep tooth cleaning. If your gum line is infected, the dentist might do a deep cleaning to treat the problematic area. You may require one or two treatments depending on the severity of your disease. Patients with moderate gum disease should also have a deep cleaning and root planing. 
  • Prevents tooth loss: No matter how diligently you clean your teeth at home, there will be a natural build-up of plaque and bacteria on your gum line and teeth over time. This accumulation of plaque and germs can lead to gum disease because it cannot be eliminated at home with brushing and flossing alone. As a result, you will lose teeth in the long run. A deep cleaning by a dentist removes hardened plaque from your teeth and gum line, leaving your mouth feeling fresh and clean.
  • Improved general well-being: Numerous studies have identified a correlation between your oral and overall health, which indicates that deep dental cleanings can aid in the early detection of potentially fatal disorders and prevent medical diseases linked to dental problems.
  • Avoid foul odour: Periodontal disease usually results in a foul odour coming from the mouth. Deep cleanings will keep your mouth odour-free.

Visit the experienced dentists at TeethCare Multispeciality Dental Clinic regularly for cleanings or deep cleanings. If you miss those, you may be in danger of further dental concerns, such as periodontal disease. So, do not put off making a dentist visit.
