Are you worried about bleeding gums and bad breath? Here are some signs that you might require a deep dental cleaning and how this can benefit your oral and overall health.
Gum disease doesn’t always show visible symptoms or cause pain, which is why it can be so difficult to detect when you might require a deep dental cleaning. When you visit your Calgary dentist for a checkup, they can examine your gums and determine if you require a deep teeth cleaning.
Some warning signs you should be aware of include:
- Puffy or tender gums
- Persistent bad breath and unpleasant taste in the mouth
- Bleeding or red gums
- Receding gums
In addition, if your gums hurt when you chew or brush, you could have gum disease and may require a deep dental cleaning.

Benefits of Having a Deep Dental Cleaning
A deep dental cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is often recommended when your dentist notices that you have signs of gum disease. The process involves a more in-depth and detailed job than a regular teeth cleaning and plaque/tartar will be removed from your teeth, as well as from the pocket areas between your gums and teeth.
Some of the great benefits of opting for a deep dental clean include:
- Prevention of gum disease: A deep dental cleaning will discourage diseases that result from a proliferation of bacteria. Removing all plaque, tartar, and calculus, also means that infections are less likely to form.
- Enhanced overall well-being. There have been numerous studies that have found a connection between your oral and overall health, which means that deep dental cleans can be your ally in preventing medical conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, that are linked to oral issues. In addition, regular dental checkups can help diagnose life-threatening diseases early on.
- Tooth loss prevention. One of the most common causes of gum disease is the buildup of plaque, and gum disease is a major cause of tooth loss. Since deep cleanings will remove the plaque from your gums and teeth, it will prevent any tooth loss.
- Whiter smile. A white smile is important for our self-confidence and appearance, but for various reasons, it’s not easy to maintain bright teeth. A deep cleaning will not only remove tartar and plaque, but also stains, giving you a healthier and brighter looking smile.
