Optimum Oral Health


DEEP TEETH CLEANING

The initial stage of treatment for periodontal disease is usually a thorough
cleaning that may include scaling or root planing. The objective of these
non-surgical procedures is to remove etiologic agents such as dental plaque and
tartar, or calculus, which cause gingival inflammation and disease. Scaling and
root planing can be used as a stand-alone treatment, or a preventative measure.
They are commonly performed on cases of gingivitis and moderate to severe
periodontal disease.


WHAT DO THE PROCEDURES ENTAIL?

Dr. Broder will only perform scaling and root planing after a thorough
examination of the mouth, which may include taking x-rays and visually examining
the mouth. Depending on the condition of the gums, the amount of tartar present,
the depth of the pockets, and the progression of periodontitis, Dr. Broder may
recommend scaling and root planing. In some cases, a local anesthesia may be
used during the procedure.


SCALING:

When scaling is performed, calculus and plaque that attaches to the tooth
surfaces is removed. The process especially targets the area below the gum line,
along the root. Scaling is performed with a special dental tool called an
ultrasonic scaling tool. The scaling tool usually includes an irrigation process
that can be used to deliver an antimicrobial agent below the gums to help reduce
oral bacteria.






ROOT PLANING:

Root planing is performed in order to remove cementum and surface dentin that is
embedded with unwanted microorganisms, toxins and tartar. The root of the tooth
is literally smoothed, which promotes healing, and also helps prevent bacteria
from easily colonizing in the future.





Antibiotics or irrigation with anti-microbials (chemical agents or mouth rinses)
may be recommended to help control the growth of bacteria that create toxins and
cause periodontitis. In some cases, Dr. Broder may place antibiotic fibers in
the periodontal pockets after scaling and planing. This may be done to control
infection and to encourage normal healing.

When deep pockets between teeth and gums are present, it is difficult for Dr.
Broder to thoroughly remove plaque and tartar. Patients can seldom, if ever,
keep these pockets clean and free of plaque. Consequently, surgery may be needed
to restore periodontal health.


BENEFITS OF TREATMENT

If treatment is successful, scaling and planing may have many periodontal
benefits. One is that it can help prevent disease. Research has proven that
bacteria from periodontal infections can travel through the blood stream and
affect other areas of the body, sometimes causing heart and respiratory
diseases. Scaling and root planing remove bacteria that cause these conditions.

Another benefit of treatment is protecting teeth against tooth loss. When gum
pockets exceed 3mm in depth, the risk for periodontal disease increases. As
pockets deepen, more bacteria are able to colonize, eventually causing a chronic
inflammatory response by the body to destroy gingival and bone tissue. This
leads to tooth loss.

Finally, scaling and root planing may make the mouth more aesthetically
pleasing, and should reduce bad breath caused from food particles and bacteria
in the oral cavity. Superficial stains on the teeth will be removed during
scaling and planing, adding an extra bonus to the procedures.
