Scale and Clean
A Step Towards Healthy Teeth and Gums
Scale and Clean Cabramatta
It takes more than daily brushing and flossing to eliminate tenacious plaque and tartar buildup.
A qualified dental scaler and cleaner can only do that.
Soft and hard plaque and stains that are impossible to remove with routine at-home brushing are all eliminated during a professional dental scale and clean.
Scale and clean are advised every six months to prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
Benefits of Scale and Clean
Prevent Tooth Decay and Cavities
Plaque can be removed by brushing and flossing twice daily, but professional cleanings are much more effective every six months.
Avoid Gum Disease
Plaque, when it builds up below the gum line, causes tooth decay and harms your gums. Gum disease can potentially result in tooth loss if left untreated.
Regular tooth cleaning reduces plaque buildup and significantly lowers your risk of experiencing this.
Remove Stains
Your teeth may become stained if you drink coffee, tea, or wine or use tobacco products.
While regular brushing helps to remove part of this, some tenacious stains may still be present.
Your dentist can remove this by cleaning and polishing your teeth, which is vital to make your smile more vibrant.
Prevent Bad Breath
The greatest strategy to avoid halitosis, or foul breath, is to practise good dental hygiene routines.
When you have a dental condition like tartar buildup that is underlying, brushing and flossing by themselves are ineffective. In these circumstances, even if you practise regular cleanliness, you might still experience breathing problems.
Scaling is essential to improve your breath and boost your self-assurance.
Improve Your General Health
Although it may seem strange, scheduling routine dental cleanings can reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Gum-related chronic inflammation can lead to hardened arteries, culminating in a heart attack or stroke.
By seeing the dentist, you can find many other seemingly unrelated medical concerns early on, such as kidney disease and diabetes.
Save Money on Restorative Dentistry
Saving money is one of the main reasons people skip getting their teeth cleaned regularly.
However, the cost of a dental scale and clean is far lower than that of dental restorations or periodontal disease treatments.
Preventive maintenance can help you stay away from unpleasant and potentially expensive issues in the future.
Scale and Clean Procedure
You can get a personalised scale and clean at Cabramatta Dental Care, which is often completed in under an hour.
The steps in the process are as follows:
- Your Cabramatta dentist will perform a quick dental examination before beginning the scale and clean to ensure that you don’t have any major tooth issues.
- Following the dental examination, plaque buildup will be removed from the pockets and areas below the gum line using an ultrasonic cleaning device. Remember that the tools can clean everything challenging to reach with a toothbrush.
- Before moving on to the lower jaw, we shall first clean the upper jaw from the front and rear. This method guarantees that all regions receive scaling and cleaning.
- You will also receive a fluoride treatment and a gum examination along with the scaling and cleaning procedure.
- Along with scale, you might select a root planing procedure to help your gums heal and reconnect to your teeth.
Dentists will polish your tooth surfaces during the root planing procedure, enabling the gum tissue to recover and reconnect to your teeth.
To ensure speedy healing, your dentist can suggest you follow a particular dental practice.
Root planing can necessitate another trip to our office and the administration of a topical anaesthetic to numb the area.
