Scale and Polish / Deep Cleaning

Scale and Polish (Dental Cleaning)

Regular scale and polish procedures are vital for preventing gum and tooth damage caused by bacteria, plaque, and tartar buildup in the mouth. Although complete sterilization is impossible, controlling the biofilm through proper brushing and flossing after meals is essential. However, stubborn tartar can only be effectively removed by a dentist.

If left untreated, tartar can lead to periodontitis, a severe gum disease characterized by chronic inflammation, bone loss around the roots, mobility, and potential tooth loss. To address established periodontal disease, a crucial procedure known as Deep Cleaning or Periodontal Treatment (subgingival scraping) under local anesthesia is necessary.

This procedure is instrumental in preserving teeth and their supporting structures into old age. Don't overlook the importance of regular dental cleanings to enhance your chances of maintaining optimal oral health and a confident smile for years to come.
