Do you suffer from persistent bad breath and gum disease, or have an inkling that it might be a problem? If so, you should consider undergoing a dental deep cleaning (or scaling and root planing). At its core, this type of cleaning is an intensive form of professional teeth cleaning that can correct current general dental health issues and help reduce the risk of further complications. At QC South Dentistry in Charlotte, Dr. Rebecca Bradley offers this type of dental cleaning to help patients ensure that specific dental health problems remain under control and that smiles stay sparkling and healthy!
If you’ve been told you need scaling and root planing, you might feel a bit anxious about what that means. It’s true that the term “dental deep cleaning” can seem intimidating, but rest assured that this procedure is a common and effective way to treat early gum disease and halitosis (or bad breath).
Scaling involves removing the plaque and tartar that have built up on the teeth and under the gums, while root planing smooths out the rough spots on the tooth roots to promote healing and prevent further damage.
It may take some time and care to fully recover from scaling and root planing, but the benefits to your oral health are well worth it. Dr. Bradley wants you to feel comfortable and informed about your treatment options, so please don’t hesitate to ask any questions you may have at your next appointment at QC South Dentistry.
Bad breath can be a source of embarrassment and discomfort, but it’s a common problem many people face. While there are a variety of potential causes, scaling and root planing can be an effective treatment option for those experiencing chronic halitosis. By removing odor-causing bacteria, plaque, and tartar buildup from near and under the gumline, Dr. Bradley addresses the underlying halitosis issue to help patients achieve fresher breath and better oral health.
Many adults suffer from some form of gum disease. Gum disease can lead to tooth loss and other complications if left untreated. Fortunately, there is a solution: dental deep cleaning. While the procedure may sound intimidating, it’s a simple and effective way to reverse the effects of gingivitis. During the process, the QC South Dentistry team will use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing can’t reach. With proper home care and regular dental check-ups, scaling and root planing can help restore oral health and prevent further damage from gum disease.
Scaling and root planing is a restorative treatment that can help keep your teeth healthy and pearly white while preventing future issues. It reduces bacteria in the mouth that may be causing bad breath or other irritation, and it helps fight off delicate plaque buildup and tartar that can lead to more significant risks of periodontal disease.
