Scaling and Polishing
Did you know that the sticky plaque on your teeth can lead to tooth decay and gum disease if not cleaned away properly? Plaque contains bacteria that can harden into tartar, which regular brushing and flossing can’t remove. As tartar builds up, it can cause your gums to swell and bleed—signs that gum disease may be starting. Scaling and polishing also helps to keep cavities in check by removing plaque and tartar from hard-to-reach areas, reducing the risk of bacteria causing tooth decay. But don’t worry! Regular visits to our dentist and hygienist can help prevent this.
During your visit, we’ll carefully and thoroughly remove tartar using gentle ultrasonic and manual scalers, leaving your smile healthier and brighter. By maintaining regular cleanings, you can enjoy improved oral health and a confident smile!
