Do you need to have teeth cleaning done? This is something you should have done at the dentist's office a few times a year or so. If you need a deep cleaning for your teeth, then you have more intensive dental concerns that also need to be immediately addressed.
Your oral health is very important and should never be ignored. Here are signs you need to have a deep cleaning done so you can prepare yourself for the appointment and call your dentist right away.
Your gums are puffy
Puffy gums that feel swollen and almost like they have fluid in them — especially when you press against them — are gums that are likely very infected. If you want to get the most out of your oral health, then it's wise to have your teeth cleaning done. Periodontal treatment will get deep under your gum line to remove the plaque and tartar that affect your teeth. Your dentist may prefer to do this type of cleaning over a series of dental treatments for your comfort if they are extensive in nature.
Your teeth feel constantly dirty
Gunk like tartar and plaque get stuck on your teeth over time and make them feel consistently dirty and rough. The debris can get stuck in between and on your teeth even with regular brushing and flossing and will make your teeth look like they are yellowed and dull. A teeth cleaning will polish up your teeth and make them sleek and beautiful again and can be a great way to gain confidence. You may even feel like you've had your teeth whitened from the treatment.
Your mouth is due for a cleaning
The longer you wait between your teeth cleaning appointments, the more likely you may be to need a deeper clean when you do go in. Your deep cleaning efforts will result in healthier teeth and gums and in preventing tooth decay and gum disease. If you already have gum disease, frequent deep teeth cleaning appointments will be a great solution for you in keeping your smile healthy and strong and your gums cleaner.
Your dentist knows that a teeth cleaning is a simple way to prevent oral health issues. Don't ignore your regular teeth cleaning needs, and if you need a deep teeth cleaning, stick to all your appointments. This way, your oral health stays intact and you have a healthy smile you can improve upon every day.
