Keep Your Smile Healthy

What a deep cleaning can do for your health

Are your gums irritated, swollen, or bleeding? Maybe you’ve also noticed bad breath, or that your teeth seem “longer” when you look in the mirror? If any of these sound familiar, it may be time to get a deep cleaning.

Deep cleaning is also known as SRP (Scaling and Root Planing) or gum therapy. It’s a procedure in which we remove plaque and tartar that have built up below the gum line. This treatment helps us prevent and treat gum disease and improve your overall dental health.

More than a regular cleaning

If you keep good oral hygiene habits at home – like brushing your teeth at least twice a day and flossing at least once – you can prevent several oral diseases from developing. Yet, plaque can still build up below the gum line, which can lead to gum disease without you even knowing it.

Gum disease, or periodontitis, is a serious condition in which your gums get infected. It may not only affect your gums but also your jaw bone, which may lead to tooth loss and other health issues. Deep cleaning is a way to treat or prevent way to treat or prevent this from happening, allowing your gums to develop healthily.

What to expect during gum treatment

The procedure

At Dental Minds, a deep gum cleaning can take one or two sessions to be completed. This procedure usually doesn’t need any preparation, although our team may give you some recommendations before your appointment.

Before starting, one of our dentists will administer a local anesthetic to make sure you feel comfortable and relaxed during the entire procedure. Then, they’ll use a special instrument to remove the plaque and tartar from below your gums.

After the cleaning, the doctor may use an antibiotic to eliminate the remaining bacteria and to help with gum infection.

What to do after gum therapy

Aftercare

When you visit our office in Logan Square for a dental deep cleaning, one of our dentists will explain to you everything you need to know so you will have all the information you’ll need in advance. This includes aftercare recommendations.

Some of the instructions they may give you are:

  • Don’t eat/drink anything until the sensation of numbness has disappeared
  • Use pain medication and/or antibiotics if prescribed.
  • Don’t consume hot foods or beverages until the anesthetic has worn off. Stay away from spicy foods for the next 24 hours
  • Don’t do any energetic exercise for 24 hours
  • Don’t drink alcoholic beverages or smoke for at least 48 hours
  • Don’t suspend brushing and flossing. Do it gently while your mouth is sore
  • Follow any other recommendations your doctor will give you
