Deep Dental Cleaning Treatments and Cost
Deep dental cleaning treatment is not just for unhealthy mouths; even if you have good oral care habits, you should check if you need it. If you are caring about your oral hygiene, your priority should be to get rid of plaque and tartar in the mouth.
As we age, tartar builds up faster, but generally, inpiduals will vary greatly in the formation of tartar on the tooth surface. The formation of plaque, which develops rapidly with old age, causes the teeth to fall out with the help of other factors, such as bone resorption (osteoclasts). For this reason, early deep dental cleaning is of great importance for a healthy mouth in old age.
What Is Dental Deep Cleaning?
Deep dental cleaning, known as SRP (Scaling and root planning), scrapes tartar and plaque on tooth surfaces and under the gums with conventional dentistry equipment or ultrasonic dental devices. The treatment, as the name suggests, is completed in two sessions. The first is scaling, and the latter is root planning.
The rate of tartar and plaque formation in adults over 30 is 50%, which is 75% in those over 65, which indicates that aging accelerates the formation of tartar. But the leading causes of tartar and plaques may include;
- Diabetes, heart diseases,
- Genetical history,
- Hormonal changes that happen during the pregnancy,
- Failed dental restorations such as a filling or a root canal,
- Crooked teeth,
- Poor oral hygiene,
- Smoking
- Stress
Dental Deep Cleaning Benefits
Prevents Improvement of Periodontal Disease
Since all the bacteria and tartar in the mouth are cleaned, the infections and plaques will no longer spread.
Eliminate Current Infection
After treatment, the mouth is free from tartar and germs.
Promotes Healing
Tartar and plaque prevent the gums from sticking to the teeth. When you get rid of them, your gums renew themselves and stick to the tooth root healthier.
Eliminates Bad Breath
Plaques contain bacteria that cause bad breath. When you get rid of plaques, your bad breath will also disappear.
Save Your Roots and Jawbones
The gums are like protective armor. Protecting them is more important than your teeth. If the gums cannot function well, the tooth roots and jawbone suffer greatly.
Is There Any Risk of Dental Cleaning?
The most common complication of deep teeth cleaning is 5 to 7 days of gum sensitivity. Other than that, there is no common risk. Although quite unlikely, there is a risk of bacteria penetrating the bloodstream during the treatment.
What Does Deep Cleaning Teeth Involve?
You can have your deep tooth cleaning done with two different one-hour visits to the dentist. At your first visit, called scaling, your dentist would remove all the plaque and tartar under the gums. The dentist may do the surgery with manual dentistry tools or ultrasonic or electrical tools.
In the second stage, called root planing, the dentist cleans the tooth roots and softens them to ensure that the gums firmly adhere to the roots.

Dental Crowns FAQ
Dental Crowns - AntalyaDeep dental cleaning treatment is not a tooth whitening treatment, and no hydrogen peroxide-containing products are used in this treatment. However, as a result of the treatment, you will be surprised by the whitening and bright smile on your teeth.
It is very unlikely that you will encounter a situation like that after treatment. However, because tartare surrounds your teeth firmly, patients may think that their teeth have loosened after treatment. But this is a temporary feeling and will disappear as the gum strengthens.

After the treatment, sensitivity occurs in the gums for 4-5 days. This period may extend for another 1-2 days, depending on the size of the treatment.
