Enhancing Oral Health & Healing
At Van Orman Dental, we use dental irrigation as a vital part of oral care to remove bacteria, reduce inflammation, and promote healing after dental procedures. Whether used in deep cleaning, periodontal therapy, or post-surgical care, dental irrigation ensures a clean and bacteria-free environment for optimal oral health.
What Is Dental Irrigation?
Dental irrigations is the process of using a sterile liquid solution to flush out bacteria, food particles, and debris from the teeth, gums, and periodontal pockets. It is often performed as part of:
- Periodontal therapy for gum disease
- Post-surgical care to prevent infection
- Routine deep cleaning for plaque control
- Endodontic treatments like root canal therapy
How Dental Irrigations Works
Irrigation Solution Selection – A specialized solution, such as chlorhexidine, saline, or antimicrobial rinses, is chosen based on the patient’s needs.
Flushing the Area – The solution is carefully applied using a syringe or an irrigation device to remove harmful bacteria.
Deep Cleaning Action – The irrigation reaches areas that brushing and flossing can’t, ensuring a cleaner and healthier mouth.
Healing & Protection – The antimicrobial properties of the solution help prevent infection and speed up healing after dental procedures.
Uses of Dental Irrigations in Dentistry
Gum Disease Treatment – Helps cleanse deep periodontal pockets and reduce bacterial buildup.
Post-Surgical Healing – Prevents infection and accelerates healing after tooth extractions, gum surgery, and dental implants.
Root Canal Therapy – Eliminates bacteria inside the root canals before sealing the tooth.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction Care – Reduces the risk of dry socket and infection after extractions.
Routine Oral Hygiene – Used in water flossers for daily plaque and bacteria control.
