Checking your teeth and clearing a dentist is an important part of the oral hygiene routine. But no matter how well you clean your teeth, reaching the area with the teeth will always be difficult. In these areas, deposits accumulate (plaque), and eventually, there may be minerals to create a difficult, crusty deposit called calculus or tartar, which is impossible to remove by brushing alone. If it is not removed, more plaque can be stored around the teeth and potentially under the gum line, causing progression of gum disease, bleeding gums, poor breathing, mobile teeth, and tooth loss. Therefore, professional teeth are needed. It usually involves two processes: scaling and polishing.
Scaling
Scaling is professional teeth cleaning that involves the use of a specialized machine called an ultrasonic scalar to loosen plaque and tartar without damaging your teeth and gums.
Polishing
It involves smoothening the rough tooth surface to protect against further plaque buildup.
After teeth scaling and polishing, we take the responsibility to educate others on the importance of oral hygiene maintenance. We demonstrate you proper brushing, flossing techniques, and other oral hygiene aids that help keep your mouth deposit-free. We also suggest water flosser machines for older patients, as they have practical difficulty following the given instructions. This can make a noticeable difference in your regular oral hygiene.
