Still, it is vital you take certain steps to maintain your general health and wellbeing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That includes regular dental checkups and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pearlwhitedentistry.com\/dental-cleaning.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">cleanings<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, as well as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pearlwhitedentistry.com\/preventive-dentistry.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">deep dental cleanings<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for people who have or are at risk of developing gum disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cDentistry is not an elective procedure,\u201d Purnima Kumar, a professor of periodontology at Ohio State University recently told the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/health\/2020\/06\/28\/dentist-appointment-faq-coronavirus\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Washington Post<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. \u201cThey\u2019re important to your mouth health, as well as to the health of the rest of your body.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is particularly important for people to address gum disease as soon as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Periodontitis, or gum disease, is a serious condition in which the tissue that holds your teeth together becomes infected. If left untreated, the acids secreted by the bacteria can weaken and dissolve the tissue connecting your teeth and jaw bone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gum disease has also been <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/oral-health\/features\/health-perils-of-gum-disease#1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">linked<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to a wide range of other medical issues, including heart attacks, obesity, diabetes, and stroke.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The good news is that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pearlwhitedentistry.com\/meet-the-doctor.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Natalia Benda-Celenski<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and her team at Pearl White Dentistry are helping people in Ft. Lauderdale and across South Florida keep their mouths healthy and their smiles bright during the pandemic. Dr. Natalia is an experienced dental professional who has been cited for excellence in the practice and has successfully helped many patients address gum disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Deep Dental Cleaning Works<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Deep cleaning, as the name suggests, is a more extensive process than the regular cleanings that typically are part of a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pearlwhitedentistry.com\/checkups-and-cleanings.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">routine dental checkup<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Unlike a regular cleaning, a dental professional will focus below the gum line to root out bacteria that cause gum disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A Pearl White hygienist will use a scaler &#8211; a special dental instrument &#8211; to get below the gum line and into any pockets between the gums and teeth.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is a more intensive procedure than a routine cleaning. At Pearl White, we regularly use local anesthesia to prevent discomfort, as well as an antibiotic to ward off infection. In some situations, a deep cleaning may also require a follow-up visit to ensure that the gums are properly healing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Contact Pearl White for a Deep Dental Cleaning<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are looking to address gum disease, improve your overall oral health or brighten your smile, Fort Lauderdale dentist Natalia Benda-Celenski and her team at Pearl White Dentistry can help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whether you need a routine<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pearlwhitedentistry.com\/checkups-and-cleanings.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">checkup and cleaning<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, are considering<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pearlwhitedentistry.com\/invisalign.html\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Invisalign<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to address crowded teeth or are interested in a deep cleaning, we will take the time to understand your situation and walk you through your options.
