Teeth Cleaning and Perio Treatment
Gentle and thorough periodontal treatments and teeth cleaning in Poway, CA.
Dental Prophy or Teeth Cleaning
Our patients enjoy the benefits of teeth cleaning. It freshens your breath, treats and prevents gingivitis, removes stains, and makes your teeth feel smoother.
Teeth Cleaning
Our hygienists use small instruments and an ultrasonic cleaner to remove plaque, tartar, and stains. After polishing with prophy paste, a thorough flossing and rinse clear any remaining debris. For cavity-prone patients, we may recommend a fluoride treatment.
Periodontal Treatment – Scaling and Root Planing
Scaling and root planing is for patients with periodontal disease, which can cause deep pockets, gum swelling, bone loss, loose teeth, bad breath, and gum recession.
Using local anesthetic, our hygienists remove plaque and calculus from deep pockets and smooth the tooth roots to eliminate bacterial toxins. This helps tissues reattach, reducing pocket depth.
After a few weeks, we’ll check your gum pockets to ensure the treatment worked or decide if further care is needed.
