What sets them apart is what we\u2019re targeting and why. With a <strong>regular cleaning<\/strong>, we\u2019re just trying to remove any staining, plaque or tartar that have built up on your teeth since your last visit. But with a <strong>deep cleaning<\/strong>, we\u2019re concerned about the infection related to that build up of stain and tartar especially below the gumline.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Are Deep Cleanings Necessary?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The primary reason a patient might need a <strong>deep cleaning<\/strong> is poor oral health. When teeth aren\u2019t cared for properly, bacteria, plaque and tartar can build up around the gumline, causing gingivitis. If this gingivitis isn\u2019t treated, the condition can worsen, creating pockets between the teeth and gums. As this happens, bacteria, plaque and tartar build up down below the gumline causing infection.\u00a0 It\u2019s at this point that a <strong>deep cleaning<\/strong> becomes necessary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How Can I Avoid a Deep Cleaning?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The simple answer to that question is: excellent oral health.<\/p>\n<p>By visiting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canzoneridentistry.com\/about-us.html\">Dr. Canzoneri\u2019s<\/a> <strong>Arcadia<\/strong> office twice a year for <strong>regular cleanings<\/strong>, and by brushing and flossing regularly at home.\u00a0 You may even want to complete your at-home regimen by rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash.<\/p>\n<p>These steps won\u2019t guarantee that you never need a more advanced procedure, but they\u2019re your best defense against gum disease, tooth decay, and other dental procedures.<\/p>\n<p>If you have more questions about <strong>regular cleanings<\/strong>, <strong>deep cleanings<\/strong>, or another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canzoneridentistry.com\/general-dentistry.html\">service<\/a> entirely, give our <strong>Arcadia<\/strong> dental office a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canzoneridentistry.com\/contact-us.html\">call<\/a> today.
