The FAQs of a Deep Teeth Cleaning

The FAQs of a Deep Teeth Cleaning

Deep teeth cleaning is typically performed as a treatment for gum disease. It is a comprehensive type of teeth cleaning that also involves cleaning teeth roots and gum pockets. Removing tartar and the bacteria from these areas can reverse the early stages of the infection, and it can help manage and control its more advanced stages.

Frequently Asked Questions About Deep Teeth Cleaning

Think you might have deep teeth cleaning in the future? Here are the answers to some of the questions you might have:

1. Are Deep Cleanings Painful?

Deep cleanings are performed with local anesthetics so patients do not feel any pain as the dentist goes to work. Patients might experience some pain and discomfort when the anesthetic wears off after the treatment. Over-the-counter painkillers can be used to manage any pain and discomfort.

2. Are Deep Cleanings Completed During A Single Session?

A person’s entire mouth can be deep cleaned during a single session, but that is not the standard approach. That would leave the person dealing with pain and discomfort all over their mouth after the treatment. Deep cleanings are often broken down into as many as four treatments, so only a quarter of the patient’s mouth is affected by the treatment.

3. Can Deep Cleanings Reverse Gingivitis?

Yes, removing plaque and tartar from teeth roots and gum pockets can help to reverse the first stage of gum disease, gingivitis. Improving your oral hygiene and undergoing teeth cleanings are typically enough to reverse gingivitis, but a dentist might recommend deep cleaning based on factors like how committed they think their patient is to their oral hygiene.

4. What Is Recovery Like After Deep Cleaning?

Deep cleaning involves manipulating gum tissues, and that leads to discomfort that can last for a few days. Patients are advised to stick to soft foods that will not irritate their gum tissues during this period. Spicy, hot, or small foods that can get stuck beneath gum tissues should be avoided.

5. What Goes On During Deep Teeth Cleaning?

The treatment is typically broken up into multiple sessions, and each starts with the patient getting a shot of a local anesthetic. The patient’s gums are pulled back from the teeth roots so they can be cleaned and polished. Tartar is removed from gum pockets to combat the infection, and medication might be applied to kill bacteria there.

6. Are Deep Cleanings Safe?

Absolutely. Deep cleanings help create a healthier environment in a patient’s mouth, and the risk of complications is minimal. The most common side effects patients experience after getting their teeth cleaned are increased sensitivity and discomfort. This should go away within a week.
