Teeth Cleaning in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Mouth Debridement: Mouth debridement is typically the initial step when a patient’s oral health is severely compromised, and extensive plaque and tartar buildup is present. This deep cleaning process involves removing large deposits of tartar, which may obstruct a thorough examination of your teeth and gums.

Root Planing Cleaning: Root planing, or scaling and root planing, is a deep cleaning procedure to treat gum disease (periodontitis). It involves the removal of tartar and bacteria from under the gumline and polishing tooth roots to encourage gum reattachment and prevent further infection.

Periodontal Cleaning: Periodontal cleaning is specifically designed for patients with gum disease. This treatment involves scaling and root planing to clean the spaces between teeth and gums. It helps reduce inflammation, promote gum healing, and prevent tooth and bone loss associated with advanced gum disease.

Flossing: While flossing is primarily a daily oral hygiene practice, your dental hygienist or dentist may demonstrate proper flossing techniques during your cleaning appointment. Remove food and plaque between and along teeth gum line, flossing is necessary where toothbrushes cannot reach.

Teeth cleaning offers several important benefits:

• Prevention of Dental Issues: Regular cleanings help prevent cavities, gum disease, by removing plaque and tartar buildup.
• Improved Oral Health: Clean teeth and gums contribute to oral health and reduce the risk of serious conditions, such as periodontal disease.
• Enhanced Appearance: Cleaning removes surface stains, leaving your teeth looking whiter and brighter, which can boost your confidence.
• Fresher Breath: Removal of bacteria and food particles helps eliminate bad breath (halitosis).
• Early Problem Detection: During cleanings, your dentist can detect dental issues in their early stages, allowing for timely treatment and preventing complications.
• Customized Advice: Dental professionals can provide personalized advice on oral care practices and products, helping you maintain good oral hygiene at home.
