A full mouth debridement may be necessary if you have thick or dense deposits of plaque and tartar on your teeth. Debridement is necessary when the deposits are too heavy to allow proper visualization of teeth and gums for a dentist to do a proper examination and diagnosis of your dental health.
Comprehensive Examination
Following the debridement, a comprehensive examination by the dentist can be completed. Findings on this examination may include additional treatment such as a deep periodontal cleaning or regular dental prophylaxis to polish the teeth, remove plaque, and improve your dental health.
