A healthy smile starts with more than daily brushing. Plaque can accumulate in hard-to-reach areas, even with regular cleaning, which can cause gum irritation over time. A professional scale and polish removes what your toothbrush cannot, leaving your mouth feeling fresh and cleaner.
At the Centre for Advanced Dentistry & Implantology, treatments are performed gently to protect your enamel and maintain the appearance of your teeth.
What is Scale and Polish?
A scale and polish is a preventive procedure that removes plaque and tartar using gentle ultrasonic or manual tools. Once cleaned, the teeth are polished to smooth the enamel, making it more resistant to future buildup.
This treatment supports both gum health and oral hygiene, creating a clean foundation for a healthier mouth.
Fluoride Treatment
A fluoride treatment can be applied to provide your teeth with an extra layer of protection. This helps to rebuild the minerals that keep the tooth's enamel strong, making your teeth more resistant to acid, decay, and daily wear.
The process is quick and comfortable. A concentrated fluoride gel or varnish is brushed onto the teeth, where it forms a protective layer that continues to support enamel strength long after your appointment.
Fluoride treatment is especially useful if you experience tooth sensitivity, are prone to cavities, or want to maintain your enamel between dental visits.
Why are regular cleanings important?
Regular professional cleanings are essential for long-term oral health. They help manage gum inflammation, prevent decay, and make everyday brushing more effective. Maintaining a consistent schedule with your dental team also allows for early detection of potential problems.
