East Town Dental

Swipe to see a before and after of an SRP aka deep cleaning! What is an SRP/ deep cleaning?? SRP is a more intensive procedure compared to a regular cleaning to halt the periodontal disease process.... *you will be administered local anesthesia to keep comfortable during this deep cleaning procedure* - regular cleanings focus on cleaning the portion of the tooth above the gums. - SRP focuses on the tooth/root below the gums. As periodontal disease progresses, the pockets between your gum tissue and your teeth grow deeper, allowing tartar to form further down the root of your tooth. Over time, this provokes the problem -> leading to inflammation, infection, bone loss and ultimately tooth loss! GOALS: The goal of an SRP is to remove tartar from the roots, allowing your pockets to tighten back around your teeth and prevent bone loss. ** periodontal disease can only be maintained NOT reversed!! ** #periodontaldisease #perio #calculus #tartar #dental #dentalhygienist #dentalassistant #dentist #localanesthesia #SRP #deepcleaning #pockets #scalingandrootplaning
