Plagued by bad breath? Do your gums bleed when you brush? These are signs of gum disease and your signal to get extra help from Bethesda Dental Associates. Our dental deep cleanings remove plaque and tartar from hard-to-reach areas, ensuring your gums stay healthy. Take the hint and schedule a deep cleaning today.
Also called scaling and root planing (SRP) treatment, this deep cleaning dental procedure thoroughly removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the roots of your teeth and beneath the gum line. This specialized treatment goes beyond regular cleanings to address areas that are prone to infection and inflammation. Our periodontic dentists will recommend SRP as a gum disease treatment, eliminating the condition and preventing its return.
The dental deep cleaning cost depends on your insurance and budget. We make it easy with our financing, insurance, and membership options. Moreover, the scaling and root planing cost is worth it compared to the cost of untreated gum disease. You could face the expense of replacing lost teeth and restoring bone density. Other potential consequences are premature aging, other health conditions, and reduced quality of life. Investing in gum health is investing in your future.
Our dentists in Bethesda, MD, follow a systematic approach to ensure each deep cleaning session is effective, comfortable, and tailored to your specific needs. Here’s what you can expect during your SRP treatment at our dental office near Alta Vista and Bradmoor:
Proper ongoing care is crucial to extending the benefits of your deep cleaning. Maintain a rigorous oral hygiene routine, including twice-daily brushing and daily flossing. Use an antibacterial mouthwash as recommended to keep bacteria at bay.
Schedule follow-up visits to monitor the health of your gums and receive professional cleanings. Avoid sugary foods and drinks that contribute to plaque buildup, opting for a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals. We can provide tips and recommendations specific to your oral health and lifestyle to make it as easy as possible to maintain healthy gums and a radiant smile.
When it comes to both your smile and your smile care, don’t settle for anything less than excellent. Schedule a periodontal scaling and root planing treatment today with Bethesda Dental Associates. Our deep-cleaning dentists rehabilitate your gums and reinforce your smile.
