Professional oral care and maintenance primarily focus on scaling and polishing. This is done through the process of careful, effective elimination of plaque, tartar (calculus) and surface stains from your teeth above and below the gum line margin. It is an essential element in protecting against gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis) and maintaining a healthy, bright smile.
Key Features and Procedure
- Scaling (Removal of Tartar) : This is the primary focus of the cleaning. It entails applying special dental tools that are either operated by hand or, more often, an ultrasonic scaler to disintegrate and denude hardened tartar. Tartar is a type of plaque that cannot be cleaned by simple brushing and flossing.
- Polishing (Stain Removal) : After scaling is performed, the teeth are polished using a slow-speed handpiece and a mild abrasive paste. This phase removes any external surface stains (such as coffee, tea, or tobacco) and smooths the surface of the enamel. A clean surface facilitates the adherence of new plaque, thus encouraging a longer period of teeth cleanliness.
- Gum Health : The procedure stimulates healing and prevention of gingivitis (inflammation of the gum) and minimises the probability of periodontitis (severe gum disease and loss of bone) by removing and eliminating the irritant in the tooth-root and gum line (plaque and tartar).
Indications and Benefits
- Routine Maintenance : This is suitable for all patients on a six-monthly basis to help them avoid the accumulation of tartar and plaque.
- Aesthetic Enhancement : The removal of surface tooth stains makes teeth appear brighter and cleaner.
- Prevention of Gum Disease : It is the primary non-surgical form of treatment and prophylaxis for preventing gum disease.
