Sudbury Teeth Cleaning
At the offices of Dr. Vidya Reddy we know how important it is for our patients to have healthy gums and teeth, which is why we prompt them to come in at least biannually for their dental visits. We also educate our patients and give them all the tools they need to practice proper oral health care on a daily basis. This helps them ward off gum disease, gingivitis and other problems that can cause tooth decay. Our
Sudbury teeth cleaning is designed to rid the teeth of plaque, tartar and bacteria.
Before your
Sudbury teeth cleaning, we’ll do an entire exam and workup to check the state of your teeth. Gums should be healthy and the patient should not be experiencing problems like periodontitis. Bacteria can hide in the pockets that are below teeth and gums, causing tooth decay and gum disease. If the pockets are deeper than 4mm, we may recommend a procedure called a deep cleaning or root planing so that we can get into the pockets and clean out the bacteria. The bacteria can cause eventual tooth loss if it is not removed, and causes plaque and tartar to get worse, leading to eventual bone deterioration. If this happens, the gums may begin receding.
Coming in biannually for a dentist visit and
Sudbury teeth cleaning is the best way to combat tooth decay and cavities that can destroy teeth and cause tooth loss. Early treatment can help to reverse many tooth and gum problems. If caught early enough, gums can revert back to a healthier state and gum disease can be kept at bay. Patients with gingivitis or other forms of gum disease should come in at least twice a year for their cleanings. Good oral health habits, brushing and flossing can go a long way with helping to reverse gum disease and getting the mouth clean and healthy.
