      The importance of dental hygiene appointments

      Maintaining your oral health is a vital aspect of your overall well-being. A regular dental hygiene routine, which includes brushing and flossing, is essential for keeping your teeth and gums healthy.

      However, even with meticulous care at home, some areas of your mouth can be challenging to reach and clean thoroughly. Plaque and tartar can accumulate over time, potentially leading to oral health issues, such as cavities, gum disease, or bad breath. This is where professional dental cleaning comes into play.

      Scale & Polish FAQs

      Scaling and polishing is a professional dental cleaning procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth, leaving them clean and smooth. It is performed by a dental hygienist or a dentist.

      Why is scaling and polishing important?

      While brushing and flossing at home are essential for daily oral hygiene, they cannot completely remove all the plaque and tartar that accumulate over time. Tartar, a hardened form of plaque, can only be removed by a dental professional using specialized tools. Regular scaling and polishing not only removes tartar and plaque buildup, preventing gum disease and tooth decay, but it also eliminates surface stains, leaving your smile brighter and fresher.

      What is Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)?

      Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is an innovative approach to professional teeth cleaning that focuses on the detection and removal of biofilm (bacterial plaque) using a minimally invasive technique. Unlike traditional scaling and polishing, GBT utilizes a special dye to highlight plaque, followed by the gentle removal of biofilm with AIRFLOW® technology, which uses a combination of air, water, and fine powder to clean teeth surfaces effectively.

      What is the difference between scale & polish and deep cleaning?

      Scaling and polishing is a preventive cleaning focused on removing plaque and tartar from tooth surfaces above the gumline, typically recommended every six months for individuals with good oral health. Deep cleaning, on the other hand, is a therapeutic treatment for gum disease, targeting plaque and tartar below the gumline and smoothing root surfaces to promote gum reattachment. This more extensive procedure, often requiring local anesthesia, is recommended for those with gum disease to prevent further damage and promote healing.

      How often should I get a scale and polish?

      It is recommended to have a scale and polish every six months as part of your routine dental check-up. However, your dentist may recommend more frequent cleanings depending on your individual needs and oral health condition. Patients wearing braces, those with diabetes, and heavy smokers may benefit from more frequent scale & polish treatments.

      Is scaling and polishing painful?

      The procedure is usually painless, but some patients may experience slight discomfort or sensitivity. If you have concerns about sensitivity, please inform your dentist before the procedure.

      How long does a scale and polish take?

      A typical scale and polish session can take anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes.

      Can scaling and polishing damage my teeth?

      No, scaling and polishing are safe procedures when performed by a qualified dental professional. The instruments used are designed to be gentle on your teeth and gums.

      What are the benefits of professional dental cleaning?

      Scaling and polishing can improve your oral health by removing plaque and tartar, preventing gum disease and tooth decay. It can also brighten your smile by removing surface stains and making your teeth feel smoother and cleaner.

      Yes, professional dental cleaning is safe and is recommended for both children and adults.
