Teeth Cleaning and Periodontal Maintenance
Keeping up with cleaning and maintenance is crucial to maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Regular cleaning and periodontal maintenance will remove tartar build-up and help to prevent gum disease and potential tooth and bone loss down the road. At Peak Dental, we can help you determine the best cleaning and periodontal maintenance schedule for your dental plan.
Teeth Cleaning
Plaque Removal/Teeth Scaling – Plaque build-up contributes to cavities, gingivitis and periodontal (gum) disease. To prevent these problems, a dental hygienist uses special tools to help remove mineralized hardened plaque deposits called tartar, which aren’t able to be removed by regular brushing.
Tooth Polishing – Helping to smooth the surface of teeth, polishing removes stains and plaque and helps to keep your teeth looking healthy and bright.
Gum Depth Check – With special measuring tools, we’ll check the depth of your gums and make sure they’re not receding or in danger of causing you trouble in the future.
Fluoride Application– To help strengthen your teeth, we treat them with a special fluoride solution.
Flossing – Lastly, your hygienist will floss in between each of your teeth to ensure no debris is left to irritate your gums.
Periodontal Maintenance
Deep Cleaning of Periodontal Pockets – Periodontal pockets can cause problems if left unclean, deepening to cause tooth and bone loss. To keep your mouth healthy, we conduct a special “deep cleaning” procedure to remove plaque and tartar build-up inside the pockets that have formed between the teeth.
