Dental Deep cleaning

Experience a top-quality dental deep cleaning at an affordable price in Colombia. Our procedure is designed to remove plaque and tartar buildup, and effectively mitigate the risk of cavities and gum disease. Cleaning your teeth can bring positive long-term dental health results. 

What Does a Deep Cleaning Entail?

A deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is a non-surgical dental procedure that involves removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line.

Here's what to expect during a deep cleaning:

• Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area being treated.
• Scaling: Your dentist, in this case, Issa Castro Doctors, will use special tools to remove plaque and tartar from the teeth and roots.
• Root Planing: The roots are smoothed out to remove rough spots where bacteria can hide and promote healing.
• Antibacterial Rinse: An antimicrobial rinse may be used to kill any remaining bacteria.‍
• Follow-up Appointment: Issa Castro Doctors will schedule a follow-up appointment to assess the success of the deep cleaning and ensure that your gums are healing properly.

Warning Signs You May Need a Deep Cleaning

Practicing good oral hygiene is essential to maintain healthy teeth and gums. However, even with regular brushing and flossing, bacteria can accumulate on teeth and form plaque, leading to gum disease. If you notice any of the following warning signs, it's time to schedule Issa Castro Doctors.

• Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing
• Red, swollen, or tender gums
• Persistent bad breath
• Loose or shifting teeth
• Receding gums or longer-looking teeth
• Pus around the teeth and gums

How Often Should I Get a Deep Cleaning?

It depends on your individual oral health needs. At Issa Castro Doctors we recommend Every 6 months or less.

Can a Deep Cleaning Reverse Gum Disease?

While a deep cleaning can help remove plaque and tartar buildup and promote healing, it cannot reverse gum disease completely. It’s essential to continue to practice good oral hygiene and schedule regular checkups and cleanings to maintain healthy teeth and gums.
