Achieve Healthy Gums and Improved Well-being with Dental Deep Cleaning
Are you surprised that gum disease affects millions of Americans, and many don’t know they have it? Like tooth decay, gum disease progresses without noticeable symptoms. Many patients become aware of the disease after irreversible damage has occurred!
Suspect gum disease in Manhattan Beach, California? Beachside Smiles is here to help. Dr. Don Mungcal offers deep teeth cleaning to restore your optimal periodontal health.
What is deep teeth cleaning?
Gum disease treatment doesn’t have to involve surgical procedures. Deep teeth cleaning is a non-surgical yet effective treatment for moderate to advanced gum disease.
Deep teeth cleaning is two-fold.
- Scaling: The dentist removes unhealthy deposits from the tooth surface and the deep periodontal pockets. Without intervention, these unwanted deposits harbor harmful bacteria, which break down the teeth-supporting structures, causing tooth loss.
- Root planing: The dentist polishes the roots of your teeth to remove rough patches that encourage the colonization of harmful bacteria. Root planing also encourages healthy gum tissues to reattach to your teeth.
What can I expect from deep cleaning treatment?
Your comfort matters to us, so you can expect a stress-free experience without our deep teeth cleaning. The dentist numbs your gums with powerful anesthetics to minimize pain. Sedation dentistry is also available for patients anxious about the procedure.
Although treatment can be done in one visit, you may require multiple appointments if your case is severe. The procedure is done one section of the mouth at a time to maximize healing and comfort between treatments.
After the procedure, patients may experience mild swelling, bleeding, and tenderness. Your teeth may also feel sensitive. Our team will give you post-care instructions to manage discomfort and promote healing. We’ll give you pain medications and provide guidelines on oral hygiene and diet. We’ll also schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress.
Deep Teeth Cleaning – Real Patients, Real Results
What are the benefits of deep teeth cleaning?
Like any disease, gum disease needs to be treated by an experienced doctor to reverse or halt its progression. Deep teeth cleaning is a common gum disease treatment with the following benefits.
- Effectiveness: Deep teeth cleaning removes dental calculus from areas your toothbrush or standard dental cleanings can’t remove. Deep teeth cleaning is effective and prevents the disease from progressing to advanced stages.
- Improved comfort: Advanced gum disease can cause pain and sensitivity, especially when eating or brushing your teeth. Deep teeth cleaning eliminates the source of infection and improves comfort.
- Promotes fresh breath: Periodontal care removes plaque, tartar, and other nasties that promote bad breath.
- Protects teeth-supporting structures: Your gums are the protective armor of your jawbone and other tissues. Periodontal maintenance helps keep your gums intact to protect your roots and jawbone from damage.
- Protects systemic health: Bacteria in the mouth can travel to other body parts, increasing the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic infections. Deep teeth cleaning removes unwanted bacteria to maintain your oral-systemic health.
Miss your healthy gums?
Many patients experience shame around gum disease treatment. Rest assured, we have seen it all, and don’t judge. We also don’t lecture you, no matter the state of your oral health.
Don’t let gum disease progress and diminish your oral health. Instead, call (310) 643-6004 and schedule an appointment with Beachside Smiles. The earlier we treat the disease, the higher the chances of treatment.
