Here is how we proceed a biological cleaning step by step: 1 – Blood Tests for Vit. D, LDL and CBC (complete blood count) We run this tests because we believe that oral health plays a major role in our overall health and vice versa. Low levels of vitamin D can lead to low calcium levels in the blood and bones1. High levels of LDL (‘bad’ cholesterol) plays a big part on gum health, decreasing gum recovery and increasing gum infections2. CBC will give us an overall idea of the patient health and how some values can affect oral health stability, healing and maintenance. 2 – Hydrogen Peroxide pre-rinse for 20-30 secs Hydrogen Peroxide is water (H2O) with an extra oxygen molecule (H2O2). It is an agent with disinfectant, antiviral and anti-bacterial activities. Upon rinsing and gargling, hydrogen peroxide produces free radicals which leads to oxidative damage to the pathogens cells. This may inactivate and destroy the pathogens and prevent spreading of infection3 3 – Oral Screening and BPE (Basic Periodontal Exam) This clinical exam allow us to check the overall condition of your teeth and gums. The BPE is a quick exam that show us the health of your gums, helping to detect gum problems such Gingivitis or Periodontitis.
