Why Regular Dental Cleanings Are Important
Even with daily brushing and flossing, it’s easy for plaque and tartar to build up in hard-to-reach areas of the mouth. This can lead to cavities, bad breath, and gum disease. That’s why professional cleanings are essential to your oral health. Our expert team will carefully remove plaque and tartar, polish your teeth, and give you advice on how to improve your home care routine.
During your dental cleaning, our experienced hygienists will:
- Remove harmful plaque and tartar buildup.
- Polish and brighten your teeth.
- Perform a thorough exam to identify any signs of gum disease, tooth decay, or other oral health issues.
By maintaining regular dental cleanings at Dr. Jayne Dentistry, you can prevent many common dental issues before they become serious, saving you time and money. If you’re new to our practice, don’t miss out on our New Patient Special, which includes a comprehensive exam, X-rays, and a cleaning.
What Is Gum Disease and How Can It Be Treated?
Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is a serious infection that affects the gums and surrounding bone. Early stages of gum disease, known as gingivitis, can cause bleeding gums and bad breath. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, leading to tooth loss and more serious health issues.
Symptoms of Gum Disease include:
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Gums that bleed when brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth
- Loose teeth or receding gums
At Dr. Jayne Dentistry, we provide advanced gum disease treatment to halt the progression of the disease and restore your oral health. Our treatments include scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning procedure designed to remove bacteria and plaque from below the gum line, and laser therapy for a less invasive approach. By detecting and treating gum disease early, we help our patients avoid more extensive and costly procedures in the future.
How We Treat Gum Disease at Dr. Jayne Dentistry
When treating gum disease, our goal is to eliminate the infection, prevent further damage, and restore your gum health. Here’s how we approach treatment:
- Scaling and Root Planing: This deep cleaning procedure is essential for removing plaque and tartar buildup below the gum line. It helps stop the progression of gum disease and allows the gums to heal naturally.
- Laser Gum Therapy: For more advanced cases, we may use laser technology to target infected tissue, promoting faster healing and reducing discomfort.
- Antibiotic Therapy: In some cases, we prescribe localized antibiotics to reduce bacterial infection and support healing.
If you're dealing with symptoms of gum disease or haven’t had a cleaning in a while, don’t wait! Schedule an appointment today at our Santa Clara dental office to protect your oral health.
