Teeth cleaning in dental terms is a procedure known as prophylaxis. Teeth cleaning is important as it helps to keep diseases like gingivitis and periodontitis at bay. When bacteria in the mouth finds its way into the gum tissue, it can cause serious dental problems. The bacteria irritate the gums releasing chemicals that attack the bones and tissue. That's why bone loss and gum tissue damage is quite common with individuals suffering from gingivitis or periodontal disease. This is a problem that could affect all the teeth inside the mouth causing them to weaken and fall out eventually.
By going for regular dental visits, you can identify these dental issues early and take steps to save your teeth. These bacteria can gradually flow through your bloodstream, into the body and cause serious health issues. Therefore, dental procedures like prophylaxis are not just for aesthetics. It's done to protect the mouth from periodontal disease.
Having your teeth cleaned professionally on a regular basis has its benefits:
Cleaning: Plaque and tartar are removed above the gum line (a process known as supragingival cleaning) as well as in the gum pockets and underneath the gums (subgingival cleaning). This is done to eliminate the risk of bacteria in the mouth causing a lot of harm in the future.
Root planing: This involves smoothening of the roots of the teeth to ensure there are no areas where bacteria can linger and cause gum disease. Root planing is a critical part of the cleaning process because it's dangerous if hiding spots are not properly removed.
Medication: The dentist may apply an antimicrobial or antibiotic cream to the gums which helps to eliminate any bacteria that are still lurking in the gums. This also stimulates the rapid and healthy healing of your gums and makes the procedure more comfortable.
X-rays and other oral exams: Your dentist may request for an x-ray or another comprehensive oral exam if you're showing signs of gum disease or gum recession. This helps to reveal the size and scope of your bone and gum recession. The x-ray also gives a clear picture of which sections of your mouth need close monitoring for future infections.
At our dental clinic, we advise patients on having their teeth cleaned at least two times every year to prevent periodontitis and other dental issues. For those patients who have suffered or are at high risk of periodontitis, teeth cleaning must be done more frequently, typically 3 to 4 months. This can help prevent gum disease from progressing.
