Oral health is the gateway to your overall health.

Taking care of your oral health means you pay attention to the well-being of the gums, teeth, and mouth. Apart from the daily (good) habit of brushing and flossing at home; an annual scaling & polishing is a prerequisite to good oral health status which translates to all the good things you would want to get or have as far as a great smile is concerned.

What is scaling & polishing?

Scaling and polishing is a professional preventive dental procedure also known as dental cleaning through which the teeth are scaled and then polished (to remove tartar and plaque from those hard-to-reach areas that your toothbrush and floss can’t manage).

Now, here is why you and your family need to visit your dentist for scaling & polishing:

• Preventative care is cheaper

It is far cheaper to prevent dental disease than to treat it. People who have their teeth professionally cleaned annually are less prone to cavities and other oral health issues. Attend regular hygiene appointments such as dental cleaning to help reduce your dental bills over time.

• Better gum health

Calculus contains infection-causing bacteria and regularly removing it reduces your risk of gum disease. Gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss among adults.

• Protect your general health

Gum disease has been linked to many serious health conditions. This includes; diabetes, heart disease, dementia, and certain cancers. Professional scaling & polishing is an effortless way to keep this risk at bay.

• Fresh breath

Removing tartar and plaque between teeth and around the gumline makes your mouth feel extremely clean and this has a great effect on your breath.

• Brighter and shinier teeth

Over time calculus builds up on your teeth and this hard substance can look yellow. Your professional scaling and cleaning removes all hardened calculus before your teeth are carefully polished, lifting some surface stains.

You ideally need to do this procedure once after every six months. Make an appointment to further consult with our specialists and get your teeth professionally cleaned.
