Scaling polishing/Hygiene & Maintenance

Scaling & polishing is a regularly performed dental procedure for prophylaxis or prevention of gum disease.

Research shows that people who maintain their natural teeth will live 10 years longer than someone who doesn’t.

The mouth and teeth have a bacterial film. Over time calcium deposits accumulate over them forming calculus/tartar and stain on teeth. These bacteria may release certain substances that can cause bad breath. A severe form can cause loosening and eventually loss of teeth and bone damage.

Scaling and polishing done annually along with proper brushing & flossing of teeth twice a day will ensure the long term health of your teeth and gums. Sometimes it may be essential to undergo gum surgeries to correct the damage pertaining to the gum and the teeth.
