Once periodontal pockets measure 4-5mm, we must eliminate the bacteria in the gums using Scaling and Root Planing in order for the tissue to heal properly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If I need a deep cleaning now, will I always need deep cleanings?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are people who get one deep cleaning in their lives and never need it again.\u00a0 Patients who have great at home oral hygiene and keep up with their regular cleanings have more success, but there are patients that are just prone to accumulating bacteria that attacks the bone structure. This could be due to lack of flossing, age, stress, systemic disease or genetics.\u00a0 For these patients, more than one deep cleaning may need to be performed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why do I need to come back in 3 months after a deep cleaning? My insurance only pays for a cleaning every 6 months.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At Advanced Dental Care, we understand how frustrating it is that some insurances only cover one to two cleanings in a year, when more are required to maintain oral health.\u00a0 However, we believe our job is to provide you with honest and accurate diagnoses and to provide you with the treatment that is the best for your condition.\u00a0\u00a0 If you had an infection in a finger, but your medical insurance stated they won&#8217;t cover treatment due to a previous infection, would you let your hand fall off? or worse?\u00a0 We do not let allow insurance companies or employer-negotiated dental plans to dictate what treatment you can receive.\u00a0 Your health is our top priority!<\/p>\n<p><em>Misty R. is a Registered Dental Hygienist at Advanced Dental Care in Costa Mesa, CA under Dr. Jeremy Jorgenson.\u00a0 For more information about periodontal disease, laser bacterial reduction, irrigation or to book an appointment, please contact (714) 424-9099 or visit us online at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mycostamesadentist.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.mycostamesadentist.com<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 340px; left: 604px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 48px; left: 696px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;ve just found out you have Periodontal Disease.
