Teeth Cleaning/Scaling
What is Teeth Cleaning/Scaling?
Teeth cleaning, also known as prophylaxis, involves the removal of plaque, tartar (hardened plaque), and stains from the surfaces of teeth. Even with regular brushing and flossing at home, it’s common for plaque to accumulate in hard-to-reach areas of the mouth, leading to tartar formation and potential gum disease if left untreated. Scaling, on the other hand, is a deeper cleaning process performed to remove tartar buildup below the gumline.
At Dr. Vikas Pakhare’s dental practice, we emphasize the importance of professional Teeth Cleaning Services in Hinjewadi to help our patients achieve and maintain healthy, beautiful smiles.
Benefits of Teeth Cleaning/Scaling:
- Prevents Gum Disease: Removing plaque and tartar helps prevent gingivitis (early-stage gum disease) and periodontitis (advanced gum disease), which can lead to gum recession, tooth loss, and other serious oral health issues.
- Freshens Breath: Professional cleaning removes bacteria that contribute to bad breath, leaving your mouth feeling fresh and clean.
- Brightens Smile: By removing surface stains and discoloration, tooth cleaning can help brighten your smile and enhance its overall appearance.
- Improves Overall Health: Maintaining good oral hygiene through regular dental cleanings is linked to better overall health, as poor oral health has been associated with various systemic conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory problems.
What to Expect During a Teeth Cleaning/Scaling Appointment:
During your teeth cleaning appointment at our practice, our skilled dental hygienists will carefully remove plaque and tartar buildup using specialized tools and techniques. The process may involve:
- Assessment: We will evaluate your oral health and discuss any concerns or symptoms you may have.
- Scaling: Using hand scalers or ultrasonic instruments, we will gently remove tartar buildup from the surfaces of your teeth and below the gumline.
- Polishing: After scaling, we will polish your teeth to remove surface stains and create a smooth, shiny finish.
- Fluoride Treatment: In some cases, we may apply fluoride to strengthen your tooth enamel and help prevent cavities.
Maintaining Oral Health Between Cleanings:
While professional teeth cleanings are essential, maintaining good oral hygiene habits at home is equally important. We recommend brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing daily, and using mouthwash to help reduce plaque buildup and maintain a healthy mouth between visits.
