Booking A Cleaning That Treats Gingivitis

Dental cleanings are part of the regular reviews that you schedule at our Dallas, TX dentist’s office. These services remove plaque and tartar deposits to help lower your risk for new threats to your well-being. What you should know is that there are times when we will recommend a different approach. For any patients who show signs of gingivitis, we can recommend a different type of cleaning, one that works deeper to remove bacteria on the roots of teeth below the gums. We recommend this as a means of stopping gingivitis and giving your tissues the chance to heal; without this support, you can experience complications that have a lasting impact on your well-being.

Are You Currently Experiencing Issues With Gingivitis?

A review with your dentist will let you know if gingivitis, dental decay, or another problem is affecting your smile. Timely warnings lead to treatment before complications can occur and make your oral health harder to manage. While it is important that you rely on this feedback, you should know that there are signs of poor oral health that you can look out for on your own. If you are concerned about gingivitis, pay attention to issues like gums becoming more sensitive and bleeding when you brush and floss, trouble with tissues that are swollen or discolored, and a persistent problem with bad breath.

We Can Address Dental And Periodontal Problems During A Checkup

Both dental and periodontal health concerns are addressed with our patients. If we find problems with your gums as we evaluate you, we can recommend that you undergo a deep cleaning to remove the bacteria that are responsible for the issue. This service reaches areas that are normally not addressed at a general exam. By taking care of the buildup of plaque and tartar at the bases of teeth, we can stop further issues from occurring, and we can prevent the onset of more advanced gum disease.

More Help Provided At General Checkups

The general checkups that you schedule provide valuable updates about your smile, and they can lead to timely treatment for cavities before teeth become infected. Even with a consistent smile care routine practiced at home, these visits are important. This is because you can both let problems go unnoticed early in their development and because tartar deposits that form between visits cannot be removed through brushing and flossing alone.
