How a Deep Teeth Cleaning Service Can Save Your Teeth
If you live in San Jose, California, you know how important it is to have a winning smile. A beautiful smile increases your confidence, and people with friendly smiles are even more successful.
However, a deep cleaning treatment is sometimes neglected because it improves oral health in ways that aren’t cosmetic.
What Is a Deep Teeth Cleaning?
When tartar and bacteria are present in your mouth, the build-up can get out of control. When this happens, it’s time for deep cleaning. In many cases, dental care neglect leads to pockets forming below the gumline that harbor bacteria and tartar.
Deep cleaning is called scaling and root planing. Essentially, your specially-trained hygienist will clean the diseased gums and root structures. To do this, the team uses specialized instruments to remove the plaque hardened in the pockets.
Here are some things to keep in mind when it comes to deep teeth cleaning.
- Failure to remove this harmful bacteria and tartar can result in long-term oral health complications, including periodontal disease and tooth loss.
- Even with good oral hygiene practices, plaque constantly forms on the gums and teeth. Once this plaque becomes tartar, it can’t be removed with brushing and flossing. Professional cleaning is required.
- Plaque has a bacterial biofilm that irritates the gums. Without treatment, this can cause the gums to pull away from the teeth, encouraging deep pockets where bacteria can thrive.

- Deep cleaning can reverse gum disease progression.
- You will notice results within the weeks following a deep cleaning.
- Dental hygienists will give you anesthesia so that you experience minimal discomfort.
