Periodontology focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases of the gums and the supporting structures of the teeth. At IJssel Dental, we take periodontal health seriously, as it plays a crucial role in maintaining your overall oral health.
Periodontics involves the treatment of conditions such as gum disease (gingivitis) and periodontitis. These conditions can lead to loss of supporting tissue around the teeth and, in severe cases, tooth loss. Treatment focuses on cleaning the gum lines, reducing inflammation, and restoring gum health.
What is the importance of dental cleaning in periodontology?
An essential component of periodontics is dental cleaning. This involves thoroughly cleaning your teeth and gums to remove plaque and tartar, which contribute to gingivitis and periodontitis. A thorough cleaning helps restore healthy gums and prevents further damage to the periodontal structures.
How does a dental cleaning proceed?
During a dental cleaning, your teeth are professionally cleaned to remove plaque and tartar, both above and below the gum line. This process reduces inflammation and promotes a healthy oral environment. Our dentists use advanced techniques and instruments to perform a thorough cleaning and optimize your oral health.
What is a combination appointment for a check-up and dental cleaning?
At IJssel Dental we offer the possibility to schedule a combination appointment where both a control as a dental cleaning. This is an effective way to assess and improve your oral health in one visit. During the check-up, your dentist will examine the overall health of your teeth and gums, check for any problems, and advise you on further care. A thorough dental cleaning will then be performed to remove any build-up of plaque and tartar.
Bad breath can be caused by periodontal disorders. Plaque and tartar can contribute to bad breath by harboring bacteria that produce odorous substances. Regular dental cleanings and periodontal treatments help remove this buildup and reduce the likelihood of bad breath. If bad breath persists despite good oral hygiene, it may indicate an underlying problem, such as serious periodontal disease, that requires further treatment.
