Benefits Of Scaling And Polishing

Scaling and polishing not only improves your oral hygiene, but also helps with enhancing your smile aesthetically. For those looking for additional teeth whitening treatments, Dentists Co offers in-clinic laser teeth whitening as well as homekit whitening solutions.Removes Dental Tartar
When accumulated dental plaque combines with the minerals found in saliva, it forms dental tartar. Dental tartar cannot be removed through regular brushing and can only be removed through scaling and polishing. If left untreated, dentar tartar will permanently stain teeth and eventually lead to gum disease.
Prevents Gum Disease
Gum disease is a common oral health issue that many people may not even realise they have. The two main types of gum disease include gingivitis and periodontitis (a more severe form of the former).Common symptoms of gum disease include bleeding of the gums, pain when chewing and swollen gums. If left untreated, gingivitis gradually evolves into periodontitis, which can lead to other oral health complications such as gum recession, bone loss in the jaw and premature tooth loss.
Scaling & Polishing Process
Regular scaling and polishing treatments every six months will help you to maintain a clean and healthy set of gums and teeth.

FAQ
Scaling and polishing should not hurt, but you may feel a slight discomfort in your mouth during the treatment. If the discomfort becomes unbearable, you may request for local anaethesia from your dentist.
Yes. While thorough brushing and regular flossing helps to reduce the buildup of plaque, toothbrushes and floss cannot reach certain small spaces between the teeth. Plaque can accumulate in these spaces and harden to form tartar, and these can only be removed by scaling. Stains on the teeth that can only be removed by polishing could also lead to oral complications if left untreated.
As you continue practicing good oral hygiene habits to prevent gum diseases and tooth decay, make sure to go for regular dental visits to maintain cleaner teeth and healthier gums in the long run.
