What is a scale and polish or teeth cleaning?
A scale and polish is a dentist performed teeth cleaning procedure used to remove accumulated plaque or tartar buildup on your teeth. This not only leaves your teeth looking their best but also ensures they remain plaque-free for an extended period. Plaque is the primary culprit behind tooth decay, unpleasant breath, tooth discolouration, and gum bleeding. To maintain optimal dental health, we advise scheduling a check-up, scaling, and polishing every six months. Book online now.
The importance of regular teeth cleaning:
Eradicate gum disease and gum inflammation (gingivitis)
What to expect at your teeth cleaning:
The initial “scrape” phase effectively eliminates plaque, tartar, and calculus. In this process, our dentist employs an ultrasound scraper, and, if necessary, may utilize handheld instruments to tackle stubborn deposits.
Following the “scrape” phase, we proceed to the polishing stage to guarantee a smooth tooth surface. Polishing leaves the teeth looking both brilliant and glossy. Additionally, it aids in the removal of minor imperfections and rough textures on the teeth, offering protection against future plaque accumulation.
