Preventative Dental Care: Scaling & Polishing
Dentistry is founded on the principle of prevention. All patients are recommended bi-annual cleanings and dental check-ups.
Not only do they help you lower the risk of dental problems before they arise, they leave your gums healthier, and your teeth cleaner and whiter.
A professional cleaning removes hard plaque that cannot be removed by brushing and flossing alone. It also involves a fluoride treatment and polish to help protect and soothe your teeth and gums.
No matter how long it has been since your last dental visit, our team provides a welcoming, judgment-free environment to get your oral health back on track.
What are some preventive measures I can take?
Brush with fluoride toothpaste
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush twice a day
Floss daily before bedtime
Use an oral rinse after flossing
Avoid sugary foods, coffee, and tobacco
Pain-Free Dental Scaling & Polishing
We use advanced ultrasonic scalers to gently lift away plaque and stains with minimal discomfort.
What happens during your dental scaling and polishing treatment:
Step 1: Ultrasonic Scaling – Effortlessly vibrates away stubborn calculus and hardened tartar.
Step 2: Prophy Jet Polishing – Smooths out the surface of the teeth and lifts surface stains from coffee or tea.
Step 3: Deep Gum Check – A quick evaluation to ensure your gums are firm, healthy, and free from early signs of gingivitis.
Protective Fluoride Varnish Treatment
Following your scaling and polishing, we apply a professional-grade fluoride varnish. This quick treatment strengthens your enamel, reduces tooth sensitivity, and provides a long-lasting defense against cavities.
