Deep Teeth Cleaning
Scaling & Root Planing
Periodontal therapy may involve various treatment options. Regardless of the treatment chosen, the primary goal is to remove harmful bacteria and help diseased gum tissue return to a healthier state. Scaling and root planing (deep teeth cleaning) is one of the most effective nonsurgical treatments for managing gum disease and preventing it from progressing.
A significant element of maintaining a good oral health routine is scheduling regular exams and cleanings. Patients who have developed or are at risk of developing periodontal disease may need to schedule these cleanings with more frequency. If you would like to learn more about deep teeth cleaning and scaling and root planing, and steps you can take to treat gum disease and gum recession, or if you would like to schedule an appointment for periodontal therapy, you can reach us at 281-359-9100, or our office is located at 1542 Green Oak Pl, Kingwood, TX 77339.
Benefits of Deep Teeth Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing)
Deep teeth cleaning helps to address gum disease that has progressed to the point where a surface-level cleaning isn't enough. During a scaling and root planing procedure, the teeth are cleaned below the gum line. This can help to reverse gingivitis and stop the progression of periodontitis. Patients can experience an elimination of bleeding and swelling, a shallowing of pockets, improvement in breath odor, and the overall elimination of tartar, plaque, and debris below the gum line.
Aftercare for Deep Teeth Cleaning
To continue enjoying good oral health and reduce your risk of developing oral health issues in the future, it is important to continue brushing and flossing (twice daily, minimum), be mindful of the types of food and beverages you consume, and avoid foods or substances that can negatively impact your oral health (chewing tobacco, staining foods, sugary drinks). It is equally important to schedule regular dental exams every six months, or more frequently, depending upon your unique oral health needs. If you follow these general guidelines, you will significantly reduce your risk of developing periodontal disease and enjoy a healthy smile for many years to come!
Cost and Insurance for Deep Teeth Cleaning
The cost of your deep teeth cleaning will depend upon the severity of your case, what insurance coverage from your dental plan can be applied, and other factors.
It is also important to be aware that you are fully responsible for all fees and payment is due at the time of service, regardless of your insurance coverage. For your convenience, we accept Mastercard, Visa, and Discover. Monthly payment plans can be arranged, but this will need to be accomplished prior to the procedure being performed.
