Is Dental Debridement Safe

Yes, a dental debridement is not only safe, but it’s safer than a routine cleaning appointment for those who have lots of buildup, and it’s been a while since they have received dental care. A routine cleaning appointment is meant for patients who have been seen regularly and who have healthy gum tissue.

Is dental debridement necessary?

Put simply, a debridement is a procedure needed when the patient has thick or dense deposits on the teeth that a regular cleaning can not remove. This procedure is needed when teeth are deeply covered in plaque and calculus to the point where the dentist and staff can not check for decay, infections or gum disease.

What do you do after a full mouth debridement?

If signs of gum disease are present, we may advise a scaling and root planning treatment. Dr. Kaminski will examine your teeth and will let you know what other treatment you may need, if any. Best thing to do after the full mouth debridement is brush and floss daily to maintain your dental work and oral health.
