Scaling/Cleaning


Normal daily routines such as cigarette smoking, drinking coffee and tea will leave stains on your teeth. Dental plaque is also present in everybody’s mouths. If not cleaned properly, Dental Plaque will harden to form calculus, which leads to other problems such as gum/periodontal disease, which manifest as bleeding gums and bad breath. With the right brushing and flossing technique, Dental plaque may be easily removed. However, Calculus and Stains require a visit to your dentist’s office to be professionally cleaned off.

Polishing


After a scaling/cleaning, polishing is also normally done to smoothen surfaces and remove any leftover stains. It is essential to smoothen surfaces and get rid of any roughness, as rough surfaces form pockets of areas which tend to retain plaque. In cases where the patient’s gums are affected, your dental practitioner may decide to clean out the root surfaces and smoothen them as well.

While routine 6 monthly scaling and polishing will serve most to all of your needs, prevention is always better than cure. So be sure to ask your dentist and hygienist for the best tips on how to improve your Oral Care and tips on keeping you free from gum disease. Be sure to inform them of any serious illnesses or long – term medications you are taking, as they may be contributing factors to your gum disease.

It is important not to ignore any signs and symptoms of gum disease,as this can progress to irreversible stage of advanced gum disease(periodontitis).
