Ultra-sonic Cleaning and Gum Therapy

Have you had your teeth cleaned in the last six months? In-depth dental cleanings are one of the simplest preventative measures that can be utilized, and your Eagle Point dental care team are happy to perform a gentle cleaning that will keep you healthy and add confidence to your smile.

Gums and teeth benefit from brushing and flossing, but over time, dental plaque and stains build up on tooth surfaces, which may lead to harder deposits that are difficult for brushing and flossing to remove. This is where the dentists at Eagle Point Family Dentistry step in: A simple ultrasonic scaling procedure is performed using small instruments to remove hard plaque trapped beneath the gums.

We provide periodontal (gum) therapy for patients who need a little extra care to achieve and maintain healthy gums and clean teeth. Periodontal disease is an infection that affects the gums and bone around one tooth or many teeth. If left untreated, gum disease will lead to tooth loss. It has also been linked to other serious health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, respiratory disease, stroke, and even Alzheimer's disease. If you have any degree of periodontal disease, we want to help. Your oral health is important to us.

Ultrasonic scalers act primarily to remove plaque and stains from tooth surfaces in areas that normal brushing and flossing can’t reach. A substantial build-up of tartar creates an environment that harbors gum disease, and cleaning these areas can act to prevent gingivitis, tooth decay, and loss of enamel from teeth.
