Miami Essential Dental
Scaling and root planing, also known as “deep cleaning,” help treat chronic periodontal diseases (gum diseases). As the procedure involves an intense cleaning session, you might be given local anesthesia depending on your problems’ severity. You might also have to visit your dentist more than once to complete this treatment method. So if you have receding gums and are searching for a good periodontist, living in Miami, then contact us at Miami Essential Dental Clinic.
Our dentist will first check your teeth’ condition on your visit, and if he sees signs of periodontal issues, he might suggest this treatment method for you. It is a preventive measure that will keep away all the harmful effects of periodontal diseases.
One of the main reasons behind chronic periodontal problems is the formation of plaque that pulls the gums away from teeth forming pockets—the hollow area in the pockets accumulated bacteria and food particles. You cannot clean this pocket by regular brushing or flossing at home. If this condition is left untreated, then you might end up losing your natural teeth.
This disease impacts people above the age of 30 due to the following reasons:
- Poor maintenance of oral hygiene
- Consumption of tobacco
- Aging
- Changes in hormones
- Poor nutritional conditions
- Family history of periodontal problems
- Any other medical conditions
You should visit us at least once in six months to ensure that you have a healthy oral condition. In case you experience any of the above problems, contact us at Miami Essential Dental Clinic today!
