Patients who require teeth cleaning are not limited to those with specific medical conditions. Certain groups are more likely to need more intensive or frequent cleanings known as scaling and root planing. These include individuals with signs of gum disease, such as gingivitis or periodontitis. This evaluation measures the depth of periodontal pockets, indicating potential gum disease.

Teeth cleaning patients

Deep cleaning is particularly relevant for patients exhibiting symptoms like bleeding gums, bad breath, or receding gums, which are indicators of gum disease. This procedure involves removing plaque and tartar from the root surfaces of teeth and minimizing the rough surfaces where bacteria grow. It is crucial for patients with advanced gum disease or those who cannot reverse mild gum disease through home oral care.
Certain risk factors increase the likelihood of needing more frequent dental cleanings:

  • diabetes
  • smoking
  • pregnancy
  • being cavity-prone
  • having a weak immune system
  • gum disease

Regular dental exams and cleanings are necessary for everyone, including those without apparent symptoms. Gum problems do not cause noticeable symptoms until they are advanced. To prevent future problems, by removing plaque and tartar, dental cleanings maintain healthy teeth and gums, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
