Routine and Deep cleaning

At Smiline Dental, we emphasize the importance of routine dental cleanings as a key component of maintaining excellent oral health. Regular cleanings not only keep your smile looking bright but also help prevent more serious dental issues in the future. Our professional and compassionate team ensures that your cleaning experience is both thorough and comfortable, setting the foundation for a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.

What Is a Routine Cleaning?

A tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. While this may sound intimidating, it is a routine dental procedure performed under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. Extractions are typically necessary when a tooth is too damaged to be saved through other treatments, such as fillings, crowns, or root canals. In some cases, extractions may also be required to prepare your mouth for orthodontic treatment or to remove impacted wisdom teeth.

Why Are Cleanings Important?

Routine and deep cleanings are essential for maintaining your oral health. Routine cleanings prevent the buildup of plaque and tartar that can lead to cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Deep cleanings are vital for treating gum disease, which, if left untreated, can progress and cause serious problems like tooth loss and bone damage. By addressing these issues early, you can avoid more invasive and costly treatments later on.

What Does a Routine Cleaning Include?

At Smiline Dental, your routine cleaning involves:

First, your dentist will take x-rays to look at all of your teeth and determine if tooth extraction is the best available option.

Then, your dentist will administer an anesthetic to numb the area. The strength or type of anesthetic may vary, depending on the location of the tooth that requires extraction.

In a simple tooth extraction (when the tooth is visible), a dentist will loosen the necessary tooth with a device called an elevator, and then use forceps to extract the tooth.

When the tooth being extracted is still hidden within the gums, an oral surgeon will need to make an incision in the gums. Then, they will either need to remove some of the bone that surrounds the tooth or cut the tooth in half to extract it.

What Happens After Your Cleaning?

After either a routine or deep cleaning, our dental team will review the condition of your teeth and gums with you, providing tips and recommendations for home care. If you’ve undergone a deep cleaning, follow-up visits may be necessary to monitor your gum health and ensure the treatment is successful. Our goal is to help you maintain a healthy smile and prevent any future oral health issues.

At Smiline Dental, we are committed to providing personalized care for all your dental needs. Whether you’re coming in for routine maintenance or require a more intensive cleaning, we’ll ensure that you leave with a smile that’s clean, healthy, and confident.
