Teeth Scaling and Polishing

Healthier Smile with Professional Teeth Scaling and Polishing

Teeth scaling and polishing is a crucial aspect of dental hygiene and maintenance. It involves the removal of plaque, tartar, and stains from the surface of the teeth, which cannot be removed by regular brushing alone. At Millennium Care Dental, we specialize in providing top-notch tooth scaling and polishing services to ensure your teeth remain healthy and vibrant.

Understanding Teeth Scaling and Polishing

Teeth scaling and polishing are essential components of a comprehensive dental cleaning routine. Tooth scaling involves removing plaque and tartar buildup from the surfaces of your teeth and below the gumline. This process is crucial in preventing gum disease and maintaining overall dental health.

After scaling, polishing smoothens the tooth surfaces, removing stains and making it harder for plaque to accumulate. The result is a cleaner, brighter smile and a reduced risk of gum disease.

Our Approach

At Millennium Care Dental, we provide personalized treatments tailored to your specific needs. Our approach includes:

Comprehensive Evaluation: We begin with a thorough examination of your oral health to determine the extent of plaque and tartar buildup and assess any signs of gum disease.
Professional Cleaning: Our skilled hygienists perform tooth scaling to remove hardened plaque and tartar from both above and below the gumline. This step is essential for preventing gum disease and maintaining optimal oral health.
Polishing: We complete the process by polishing your teeth to remove surface stains and smooth the tooth surfaces, leaving you with a brighter and more attractive smile./li>

Types of Teeth Scaling and Polishing

Routine Dental Cleaning

Routine dental cleaning is the standard procedure performed during regular dental check-ups. It involves the removal of plaque, tartar, and stains from the teeth surfaces, followed by polishing to create a smooth and shiny finish.

Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing)

Deep cleaning is recommended for individuals with gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis). It involves scaling to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline and root planing to smooth the tooth roots, helping the gums reattach to the teeth.

Air Polishing

Air polishing is a modern technique that uses a jet of compressed air, water, and fine powder to remove surface stains and plaque buildup from the teeth. It is gentle, effective, and suitable for patients with sensitive teeth.

Ultrasonic Scaling

Ultrasonic scaling involves the use of high-frequency vibrations to break down and remove plaque and tartar from the teeth. It is efficient and comfortable, often preferred for patients who find traditional scaling uncomfortable.
