Shot Free, Pain Free, Deep Cleaning
A Deep Cleaning a.k.a. Scaling & Root Planing is a deep cleaning of the root surfaces to remove plaque and calculus from deep periodontal pockets and to remove bacterial toxins off of the roots. We use a topical anesthetic for a pain free alternative to shots.
Many patients have inflammation, especially in areas they find difficult to keep clean daily. With the topical anesthetic under the gum line the once sensitive gum tissue is easily debrided, which allows for healing to occur.
How is it Different from a Routine Cleaning?
Routine cleanings focus on maintenance of healthy teeth and oral tissues by the removal of calculus, plaque, and common stains. They also help with preventative dental care. Routine cleanings are typically performed twice a year by a Registered Dental Hygienist or dentist.
A deep cleaning is a procedure designed to help avoid periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is caused by a buildup of calculus, plaque, and stain on the crowns and root surfaces of teeth. It can begin as localized gingival inflammation and progress to serious disease that results in major damage to the soft tissue and the bone that supports the teeth. If periodontal disease is left untreated, it can progress to the ultimate loss of teeth.
In periodontal disease, gingival tissue may detach (pull away) from teeth, and periodontal pockets form. Scaling and Root Planing is intended to provide a healthy tissue environment in which tissues re-adapt to normal tooth surfaces.

Dr. Barb is by far one of the best dentist I’ve ever come across. I literally drive an hour to see her and won’t let anyone else work on me or my family. She really listens to your concerns and does amazing cosmetic dental work!! If I could could 10 stars I would!

After my dentist suddenly left the office, I was scheduled to see Dr. Barbara Wetmore and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. Even with the stressful nature of my appointment I didn't feel anxious like I usually do at the dentist and felt like she really cared about what was best for me. I highly recommend this dentist to anyone in the area looking for someone friendly and competent.

This has been my dental office for 2 years now. I woke up yesterday morning with a horrible toothache, and called the office. To my surprise, the doctor was there and told me to come to the office right away. Who has a dentist that they can see on the weekend? i had to get my tooth extracted (no fun) but it was pain free and needless to say, I have no more tooth ache!

Dr. Barbara Wetmore and staff, As a new patient to your dental office, I would like to thank you for a very pleasant and professional experience. Lynn Ann performed an excellent cleaning, taking care not to damage my 3 repaired chipped teeth. Dr. Barbara gave me a thorough oral examination and provided me with an effective teeth whitening product. The office atmosphere is friendly and tropical with nice overhead TV's and a massage chair, which engage the patient away from the dental work being done. The office staff filed with my insurance company seamlessly. It was well worth the drive from Merritt island to Rockledge, FL to receive such good care. I look forward to my next visit to your office.
