Scale and Polish is a standard dental cleaning technique that significantly improves dental health by removing plaque, tartar, and surface stains from your teeth. This procedure helps prevent gum disease, cavities, and other dental health issues, ensuring your teeth and gums remain healthy and strong.
Unlike Airflow Polishing, which uses a combination of air, water, and fine powder to gently remove surface stains and plaque, Scale and Polish involves the use of specialised tools to manually remove hardened plaque and tartar from hard-to-reach places on tooth surfaces and below the gumline. This is particularly beneficial for those with dental implants, as cleaning around the gum line helps prevent infections that could compromise the implant. The polishing phase then uses a gritty paste to smooth and shine your teeth. While both methods aim to enhance dental health, Scale and Polish is particularly effective at addressing more substantial tartar build-up and is essential for maintaining periodontal health and the integrity of dental implants. This procedure also helps prevent tooth decay by removing plaque and tartar, which, if left untreated, could lead to tooth loss, gum disease, and potential issues with any restorative dentistry you may have.
Remember, regular dental hygiene appointments are essential for maintaining a healthy mouth.
