Teeth Cleaning & SRP
Prophylaxis Cleaning
- Prophylaxis cleaning is a routine procedure for people with healthy mouths.
- It removes plaque and tartar from your teeth, gums, and between the teeth, helping to maintain your oral health and prevent minor stains.
- This cleaning is ideal for those who visit the dentist regularly and take good care of their oral hygiene, supporting long-term oral health.
Scaling and Root Planing
- Scaling and root planing is a deeper cleaning procedure for people dealing with gum diseases like gingivitis or periodontitis.
- It goes below the gum line to remove plaque and tartar, and smooths the tooth roots to get rid of bacteria.
- This procedure might require multiple visits, and local anesthesia is often used to ensure you’re comfortable during the process.
Gross Debridement
- Gross debridement is a deep cleaning for people who have a lot of plaque buildup, often because they haven’t been to the dentist in a long time.
- It removes heavy tartar and plaque from your teeth, gums, and between the teeth.
- After this procedure, the dentist will assess whether you need any further treatments, like a standard cleaning.
Periodontal Maintenance
- Periodontal maintenance is for people with severe gum problems like gingivitis or periodontitis.
- It involves regular visits to the dentist for deep cleaning of the teeth and gums, helping manage symptoms, prevent tooth loss, and keep your gums healthy.
- This treatment is ongoing and is tailored to how severe your condition.
