Dental Cleanings: Nurturing Your Smile with Care
Your Mouth: A Window to Your Overall Health
Your oral health is intricately connected to your overall well-being. At Henley Dental, we recognize the mouth as a window to your health, emphasizing the significance of professional dental cleanings in maintaining not just a radiant smile but also your holistic health.
Removal of Plaque and Calculus: A Critical Step
The removal of plaque and calculus (tartar) from the teeth, both above and sometimes below the gum line, is a critical step in preventing periodontal or gum disease. This infection can affect the gums and eventually the jawbone, potentially leading to a loss of gum tissue and teeth. Periodontal disease has two major stages: gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis is the milder and reversible form, while periodontal disease can be more severe, sometimes requiring gum surgery to reverse its effects.
Precision Care by RDH
Our Registered Dental Hygienists (RDH) at Henley Dental deliver precision care during dental cleanings, focusing on the meticulous removal of plaque and calculus to protect your gums and teeth from the onset and progression of periodontal disease.
The Cavitron Advantage
In conjunction with hand scaling, our use of Cavitron technology enhances the cleaning process, allowing for the removal of deposits with high-frequency vibrations and a gentle water spray. This advanced technique ensures a thorough cleaning experience, minimizing discomfort while maximizing effectiveness.
Tailored Periodontal Maintenance
Gingivitis and Periodontitis Management
Understanding the stages of gum disease is essential for effective management. Gingivitis, being the milder and reversible form, can often be managed through regular dental cleanings. Periodontitis, however, may require a more comprehensive approach, and our team is well-equipped to address the unique challenges posed by advanced gum disease.
Cleaning Below the Gumline: A Specialized Approach
For individuals with periodontal concerns, cleaning below the gumline becomes a crucial component of their dental cleaning. Our RDH employs specialized techniques to reach and address these areas, preventing the progression of periodontal disease and promoting optimal gum health.
