Maintaining a healthy smile requires cleaning your teeth at least twice a day. Unfortunately, this type of practice is frequently overlooked, leaving teeth in need of more thorough cleaning.
A scale and clean is suggested every six months to avoid tooth decay and gum disease.
Daily brushing and flossing your teeth is insufficient to eliminate persistent plaque and tartar buildup. It can only be accomplished with a scale and clean at your dentist’s practice.
A professional dental clean remove soft and hard plaque and stains that regular toothbrushing at home cannot remove.
Scaling and cleaning are advised every six months to prevent tooth decay and gum disease. It is painless and finds the sensations not causing any discomfort.
By having your regular check-ups, you can prevent problems like advanced gum disease, untreated cavities, or broken fillings.
Dr Puja Chowdhry examines the health of each one of your teeth, as well as your other oral tissues, to ensure there are no existing or early forms of disease that can quickly progress into severe problems later on.
Not only does this minimise your treatment needs, but it also helps reduce your investment in dental treatment by cleaning your teeth and correcting problems when they are smaller while the treatments are less invasive.
You may need a scale and clean if:
Haven’t you seen the dentist in quite some time now? No worries, you’re not alone.
Most of us frequently believe that there is no need to attend the dentist because there are no obvious issues with our teeth. Shouldn’t just brushing and flossing suffice?
However, the reality isn’t like that. Plaque and calculus can cause a variety of dental disorders, ranging from cavities to gum disease if left untreated.
Plaque is a sticky coating that builds on your teeth every day and contains millions of germs. If you’ve ever failed to brush your teeth one night, a bacterial plaque has built up throughout the night.
Plaque releases acids when it sits on your teeth, which break down the enamel and create cavities. It releases toxins and infects your gums as it settles along the gum line. It can also cause gum disease.
A dentist can detect oral hygiene concerns early before they become a major problem. The professional clean that comes with every check-up eliminate plaque and calculus that ordinary brushing and flossing cannot remove.
