The Importance of Professional Oral Hygiene

Adults over the age of 35 lose more teeth to periodontal disease than to cavities. Even if you take good care of your teeth at home, three out of four adults will still experience gum disease at some point in their lives. Unfortunately, once periodontal disease starts, it can quickly get worse and lead to many problems. Dentists know that gum disease is linked to long-term health issues. Ongoing illnesses like diabetes, heart disease, and osteoporosis can also affect the health of your mouth.

The only way to avoid periodontal disease or its progression is through daily brushing and flossing, as well as routine dental examinations and teeth cleaning. Dental hygiene is most effective with the assistance of an experienced dental professional. Dr. Gallardo has over 30 years of dental experience. Working together, periodontal disease can be reversed, and in many cases, completely prevented, through proper oral hygiene.

Teeth Cleanings Techniques

the best care for our patients

Several cleaning techniques are available at our Miami dental office. Each is different and will be utilized to meet the unique needs of individual patients.

Prophylaxis Cleaning

Prophylaxis cleaning is a preventive measure that helps maintain good oral health. At Gallardo Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, Dr. Gallardo and his team perform thorough prophylaxis cleaning, which includes removing plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth and gum line, ensuring your mouth stays healthy. This cleaning also includes polishing the teeth to leave them feeling smooth and fresh, enhancing both the health and aesthetic appeal of your smile.

Periodontal Prophylaxis

Periodontal prophylaxis focuses on preventing gum disease by providing a deep cleaning below the gum line. Dr. Gallardo’s expertise in periodontics ensures that this procedure is carried out effectively, helping to prevent the progression of periodontal disease and maintain your oral health. This proactive dental treatment aids in detecting early signs of gum disease, allowing for immediate intervention and management.

Gross Debridement

Gross debridement is a technique used to remove large amounts of plaque and tartar buildup, particularly in cases where regular dental cleanings have been missed. Dr. Gallardo performs a gross debridement before a full evaluation, ensuring that your teeth and gums are free from harmful bacteria. This procedure is especially beneficial for patients who have not had professional dental care in a long time, setting the stage for healthier oral hygiene practices.

Scale and Polish

A scale and polish procedure involves the removal of plaque and tartar from the teeth, followed by polishing to remove stains and smooth the tooth’s surface. Dr. Gallardo’s meticulous approach to teeth cleaning guarantees a thorough scale and polish, leaving your teeth clean and bright. The polish not only improves the aesthetics of your teeth but also makes it harder for plaque to adhere to the tooth surfaces in the future.

Root Planing

Root planing is a technique used to smooth the tooth roots and remove bacterial toxins that contribute to gum disease. Dr. Gallardo’s expertise in periodontics ensures that root planing is performed effectively, helping to prevent further progression of gum disease and maintain your oral health. This deep cleaning process is critical for restoring and maintaining the health of gum tissues by facilitating reattachment to the tooth surfaces.

The Dental Cleaning Process at Gallardo Periodontics

At Gallardo Periodontics and Implant Dentistry, the teeth cleaning process begins with a comprehensive oral examination to assess your overall oral health.

Dr. Gallardo and his team will then use advanced dental tools and techniques to remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth and gum line. Depending on your specific oral health needs, the cleaning process may include a combination of prophylaxis, periodontal prophylaxis, gross debridement, scale and polish, and root planing.

Throughout the process, Dr. Gallardo ensures that you remain comfortable and informed about each step, ultimately helping you achieve a healthier, cleaner smile.

Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Cleaning

Oral hygiene refers to various techniques used to clean the teeth and gums. Dr. Gallardo can assist you with in-depth hygiene methods that can prevent or halt the progression of periodontal disease and will help you to develop an oral care and dental plan.

While teeth cleaning can remove surface stains and some discoloration, it is not primarily designed to whiten teeth. For those interested in enhancing their smile with whiter teeth, Dr. Gallardo offers the KOR At-Home Whitening System. This professional-grade whitening solution can be used from the comfort of your own home.

At Gallardo Periodontics & Implant Dentistry, periodontal prophylactic cleaning removes calculus from above the gumline (supragingival cleaning), removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline (subgingival cleaning), and smooths the roots of the teeth (root planing), thus eliminating all bacteria from your mouth.

Periodontal prophylactic cleaning should be done every three months for those with existing periodontal disease.

Anyone who wants to prevent the development of gum disease or is currently suffering from oral issues, such as bleeding gums or periodontal disease, should routinely have their teeth cleaned by a periodontist.

Some patients may note mild to moderate discomfort during the deep cleaning process. Dr. Gallardo will utilize IV sedation or a topical anesthetic to ensure the procedure is pain-free. His number one priority is to remove the stress and discomfort from any dental procedure.

The cost of teeth cleaning can vary depending on factors such as insurance coverage, the complexity of the procedure, and any additional tests or treatments required.
