Ask on WhatsAppQuestions
Deep Cleaning, Scaling & Root Planing in Ecuador: the questions we get.
What is deep cleaning and how is it different from regular cleaning?
Deep cleaning treats gum disease by removing plaque and tartar below the gum line. Regular cleanings only address surfaces above the gums.
How long does a deep cleaning procedure take?
Deep cleaning typically takes 1-2 hours per session. Treatment may be completed in one visit or split into multiple appointments based on your needs.
Is deep cleaning painful?
Local anesthesia is used to minimize discomfort during treatment. Most patients experience only mild soreness afterward, similar to a routine cleaning.
How much does deep cleaning cost?
Deep cleaning costs vary by location and insurance coverage. Many dental insurance plans cover periodontal treatment when medically necessary.
Do I need deep cleaning if my gums bleed when brushing?
Bleeding gums often indicate gum disease requiring deep cleaning. Schedule an evaluation to determine if this treatment is right for you.
How often should I get deep cleaning treatments?
Most patients need deep cleaning only once, followed by regular maintenance cleanings every 3-4 months to prevent disease recurrence.
What should I expect after deep cleaning treatment?
Expect mild tenderness and possible sensitivity for a few days. Gums should appear healthier and bleed less within 1-2 weeks of treatment.
Can I eat normally after deep cleaning?
Stick to soft foods for the first day and avoid extremely hot or cold items. Normal eating typically resumes within 24-48 hours.
Will my gums grow back after deep cleaning?
Healthy gum tissue may reattach to clean tooth surfaces, but severely receded gums typically don't regenerate completely.
How do I care for my teeth after deep cleaning?
Use gentle brushing with soft bristles, follow prescribed mouth rinse instructions, and maintain excellent daily oral hygiene habits.
Are there alternatives to deep cleaning for gum disease?
Advanced gum disease may require surgical treatment. Deep cleaning is often the most conservative effective treatment for moderate periodontal disease.
Can I drive home after deep cleaning treatment?
Yes, local anesthesia used during deep cleaning doesn't impair driving ability once numbness begins to wear off.
Will deep cleaning make my teeth whiter?
Deep cleaning removes stains from tartar buildup, which may improve tooth appearance, but it's primarily a medical treatment for gum disease.
How long do deep cleaning results last?
Results can last for years with proper home care and regular maintenance cleanings every 3-4 months as recommended by your dentist.
Can pregnant women have deep cleaning done?
Deep cleaning is generally safe during pregnancy and may be recommended since pregnancy hormones can worsen existing gum disease.
What happens if I don't get deep cleaning when recommended?
Untreated gum disease progresses, potentially leading to tooth loss, bone damage, and increased risk of serious health complications.
Will my insurance cover deep cleaning treatment?
Most dental insurance plans cover periodontal treatment including deep cleaning when it's medically necessary for treating gum disease.
Can I use mouthwash after deep cleaning?
Your dentist may prescribe special mouth rinse to promote healing. Avoid alcohol-based mouthwashes initially as they may cause irritation.
How soon can I brush my teeth after deep cleaning?
Gentle brushing can resume the evening after treatment using a soft-bristled toothbrush and avoiding vigorous scrubbing motions.
What are the risks or side effects of deep cleaning?
Risks are minimal but may include temporary sensitivity, minor bleeding, or slight gum recession. Benefits far outweigh these temporary effects.
