Deep Cleaning

If plaque and tartar is left on the teeth, as we mentioned before, it provides the right conditions for bacteria to thrive. The bacteria irritate the gums, which means that they bleed more easily. This is the early stage of gum disease called gingivitis. If gingivitis not treated and nothing is done about it, the inflammation will work its way down towards the foundations of the tooth causing a "periodontal pocket". Again, within the confines of the pocket, the conditions are such that the bacteria can have a right old party, and cause more damage. Gum disease can break down the support (bone) structures of the teeth, so that eventually, they will become loose. The problem is that until it gets quite severe, the person often has no symptoms. Sadly, the damage to the support structures of the teeth is irreversible. The good news is that if gum disease is caught in time, its progression can be halted and improved upon, and that is the key.

To stop gum disease from progressing, your dentist may advise periodontal therapy i.e. flap surgery with or without bone graft, or deep cleaning. This gets rid of the bacteria in the pocket and provides the necessary conditions for healing to occur.

The tartar and plaque is a responsible for gum disease. So it needs to be removed regularly to prevent gum disease. This procedure is carried out with use of ultrasonic scaler and hand instruments.

Flap Surgery & Bone Grafts

This procedure is carried out in local anaesthesia (making the teeth and gums numb). The gums are slightly deflected from the teeth and inner surface of gum, the root surface and bone is cleaned so further progress of disease can be prevented. If needed artificial bone graft material is placed on the bone to form new bone and make the tooth more stronger. Sometimes a specific GTR membrane is placed to get more favorable results.
