  It has also been linked to the presence of several cardiovascular conditions. Unfortunately, early periodontitis can potentially go unnoticed until your next dental appointment. If you suspect you have gum problems, your dentist will actually evaluate your gums for the redness, puffiness and swelling which indicate gum infection. A periodontal probe is then used to determine the severity of the periodontal condition by measuring the depth of the gaps (gum pockets) relating to the teeth and your gums. Pocket depths greater than three millimeters indicate periodontal disease. Tooth mobility will also be evaluated, because loose teeth strongly indicate a loss of bone support due to periodontal disease. A series of X-rays will confirm any sort of bone loss.
  
  Luckily, dental deep cleaning may well remove accumulated plaque and stop the occurrence or progress of periodontitis. The process includes scaling and origin planing, and is typically used to treat early-stage periodontal disease.
  
  Serious Dental Cleaning Techniques
  
  Scaling is the process by which a dental professional scrapes off the plaque and tartar that contain accumulated on the surfaces with the teeth. Typically, the scraping is performed by hand, but combining manual scraping with an ultrasonic scaler can significantly speed practise when the buildup is usually significant.
  
  Root planing is a second prong of serious dental cleaning. The deep cleaning teeth process involves manually cleaning out the plaque from the gum pockets. After the pockets are cleaned the root surfaces of the teeth are smoothed (planned) which not only permits the gum tissue to heal, but also makes future plaque accumulation not as likely. Depending on the severity with the condition, more than one treatment may be required. Root planning is somewhat more invasive compared to a routine prophylactic dental cleansing, but potential discomfort may be warded off by using a local anesthesia.
  
  When used together, the a few prongs of deep dental cleaning can stop this progression of mild to help moderate gum disease. Your dentist can also prescribe antibiotics to control the underlying bacterial infection. More severe cases of periodontitis may also require periodontal surgery, however.
  
  Even after successful dental deep cleaning, you should continue to follow a good daily oral hygiene routine. Combine brushing twice on a daily basis with flossing daily to keep your teeth as free of plaque as possible. Dentist visits every 6 months are also essential avoiding the worsening or recurrence of periodontal disease.
  
  
  Maintaining Your Retainers Safe
  
  "I lost my retainer! " These are dreadful words that you hopefully never say. It can take 2 to 3 weeks to brew a new retainer, and most orthodontists charge anywhere from $100 to $250 or more to generate a new set of retainers. The reason is most retainers are of outside labs, so the orthodontist must send the mold to your mouth to the lab to experience a new set of customized retainers fabricated. Obviously you ought to keep your retainers safe and accounted for at all times. The best way to do this is with a good retainer case. Your orthodontist will probably provide retainer case when you become your retainers. But if you want more than one case, or if you want an incident of a specific color or size, the DentaKit web store carries a wide selection of all types of retainer circumstances, both hard and soft.
