Have you gone through dental cleaning this year? We have no reason to doubt your oral hygiene, but you should still get regular dental cleaning even if you brush your teeth and floss daily and have no pain or cavities. Professional dental cleaning or scaling can improve oral health while dazzling your smile. In addition to giving you a radiant smile, having your teeth cleaned and polished protects you from future decay and gum disease.

A bright, fresh smile is the first step to increasing your self-confidence. Unfortunately, plaque and tartar cannot be removed from teeth by brushing alone. A balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables and Saliva production is also important to keep the oral cavity clean. You should take good care of your teeth and gums, which is vital since there is a link between your oral and overall health. Therefore, your dentist at Signature Smiles advises you to schedule a professional dental cleaning to keep your teeth and gums in the best condition for a healthy smile and gums. It is important to take care of your teeth and gums because poor oral health can lead to gum diseases and severe oral health problems, such as damaged teeth, swollen gums, decreased bone density, which can indicate severe medical conditions. Regular brushing and flossing can control yellow film buildup, a sticky film that coats teeth and is produced by bacteria and other unpleasant substances.

Dental cleaning or scaling is scaled according to the area of cleaning teeth and their roots. First, prevention (or routine cleaning) is done and recommended once every six months. Then, deep cleaning & root planning is done to remove debris from the roots. Deep cleaning is advised in severe cases or before oral or gum surgery.

Regular Cleaning

If you look forward to having white teeth and fresh breath, we suggest you get your teeth checked and cleaned during these checkups. Along with removing plaque and other residues, dentists do a routine tooth cleaning to check for cavities, assess gum health, and spot any issues that need immediate care, preventing cavities.

A dentist will examine your mouth before starting your treatment to check for gum disease and tooth decay. Then, the plaque and tartar can be removed using a manual or ultrasonic scaler in the following step. Dental calculus is another name for tartar, which is just hardened yellow film.

Ultrasonic scalers remove plaque and food particles. After scaling, teeth are polished with a bit of rough material. Fluoride may be applied to the teeth as a last step to avoid caries or cavities. Fluoride is used for people who are more prone to getting cavities to have good oral health.

Deep Cleaning

Do you ever get gum bleeding? Root planning and scaling is a treatment for cleaning areas below the gum line, such as gum pockets and teeth. If you have gum discomfort or pain from swollen gums, you might have a higher risk of developing gum diseases.

At Signature Smiles, you can have your teeth cleaned by a skilled dentist to remove the yellow film covering your teeth and all the food debris. This treatment will take at max 2 hours of your time. The dentist may call you for two or more sittings in severe cases. This yellow film and food debris are removed from teeth roots during root planning treatment, leaving them smooth and making it easier for gum tissue to reconnect to teeth.

Local anaesthesia may be given to you to make you feel more comfortable. The advantages of a sparkling smile, fresh breath, and healthier gums are well worth the time and effort needed for this kind of dental cleaning, which often calls for many procedures and only takes a short time to heal.

Periodontal Cleaning

Periodontal care reduces food debris buildup on the teeth like a regular dental cleaning. Instead of routine, preventive cleaning, periodontal cleaning is suggested before treating periodontal or gum disease. Patients are advised to visit more often for thorough cleaning to deliver preventive periodontal maintenance. It helps prevent gum disease from becoming damaged to the point it cannot be repaired.

What to Do If You Are Diagnosed with Periodontal Disease?

If you have been diagnosed with periodontal disease, our periodontist will discuss further treatment recommendations, including starting and continued treatments such as periodontal care. For more information, contact Signature Smiles to plan a checkup with our dentist.

Gross Debridement Cleaning

It often occurs when a patient’s oral health practices at home need some changes, and regular dental cleaning was a while ago. As time passes, people who don’t visit the dentist often or who hoard a lot of plaque and tartar may need this more complete form of cleaning.

Patients will not often undergo debridement.

A debridement should only be done once to return a patient to a healthy foundation. Following that, we should resume regular cleanings. (or periodontal care if gum disease is present). In most cases, it is performed just once.

Our dentists will use an electric scaler (piezoelectric scaler) during your session to remove the calculus or tartar buildup from your teeth. This machine is used to break the links between tartar and your teeth, which are vibration and water. The piezo removes yellowish colour changes from the surfaces of your teeth and removes calculus, leaving your teeth clean and allowing your gums to recover. However, in some cases, the buildup may cause patients to feel increased sensitivity in their mouths and around their gums. Your dentist may provide anaesthesia in a few situations to make sure you are in comfort.
