Dental Cleaning

 At Dr. Azadeh Abraham Dental Inc. in Paramount, California, we are dedicated to providing our patients with the highest level of care to maintain optimal oral health. Regular dental cleanings are a vital part of maintaining a healthy smile and preventing dental issues such as gum disease, cavities, and tooth loss. Whether you require dental prophylaxis, scaling in the presence of gingivitis, or a more intensive deep cleaning, we offer professional services tailored to your needs to ensure your teeth and gums remain in top condition.
Types of Dental Cleanings: We provide several types of dental cleanings to address different levels of care, including regular general cleaning, scaling in the presence of gingivitis, and deep cleaning. Each type is designed to treat specific oral health needs, ensuring that every patient receives the right treatment for their situation. 
Dental prophylaxis: Dental prophylaxis is recommended for patients with healthy teeth and gums. This routine cleaning helps maintain your oral health and prevents plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to more serious dental issues. During a dental prophylaxis visit, we will examine your teeth and gums for any signs of problems, such as cavities or gum disease, and remove plaque and tartar from the surface of your teeth. We polish your teeth to remove surface stains and leave your mouth feeling fresh and clean. At the end, we provide fluoride treatment if needed to strengthen your enamel. This cleaning is non-invasive and is ideal for patients with no major oral health concerns.
Scaling in the Presence of Gingivitis: Scaling is a specific type of cleaning recommended when gingivitis (the early stage of gum disease) is present. Gingivitis is often caused by plaque buildup along the gumline, which leads to inflammation, redness, and bleeding of the gums. Scaling helps treat this condition by removing plaque and tartar from the teeth, especially below the gumline. This process is essential to reverse the symptoms of gingivitis and, Prevent the condition from progressing into more severe gum disease (periodontitis). It also promotes healthier gums by eliminating the bacteria that cause inflammation and bleeding.  Scaling for gingivitis is typically done in one appointment. This cleaning procedure is usually less invasive than a full deep cleaning and is focused specifically on treating gum inflammation.
Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing): If gingivitis has progressed into periodontitis or if there is significant plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline, a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) may be necessary. This more intensive cleaning targets the areas beneath the gumline and is typically recommended for patients with gum disease. Deep cleaning involves: 1-Scaling: Removing plaque and tartar from below the gum line, where regular brushing and flossing cannot reach. 2. 2-Root Planing: Smoothing the surfaces of the tooth roots to help gums reattach to the teeth and prevent further plaque buildup. Deep cleaning is often done over two visits, depending on the severity of the gum disease. While it may cause mild discomfort, it is essential for restoring gum health and preventing further damage.
Deep cleanings remove plaque and tartar from deep below the gum line, treat and prevent advanced gum disease (periodontitis). It helps gums reattach to teeth and promotes healing.

Why Dental Cleanings Are Important?
Dental cleanings whether general, for gingivitis, or deep cleanings, are essential for maintaining your oral health.
