Teeth Cleaning and Polishing In Badlapur
What are Teeth Scaling and Polishing?
A teeth scale and polish is a teeth-cleaning treatment. Basically, germs naturally reside in our mouths and feed on the sugars in our food. Therefore, we must practice excellent dental hygiene to remove germs and prevent plaque formation. If the plaque is not cleaned, cavities grow in our teeth, exposing the delicate tooth pulp behind them and making our gums susceptible to infection.
During a scale and polish, the plaque on your teeth will be removed using a special tool in a painless treatment. Plaque is a hard substance generated by germs that eat away at our teeth’s outer layer, known as enamel.

The Procedure of Teeth Polishing Treatment
The dentist will first assess your oral health, followed by scaling and polishing of the teeth.
Scaling removes plaque and tartar from the teeth and gum line using an ultrasonic cleaning tool. If left to collect, plaque and tartar can host bacteria that cause tooth decay and gum disease.
Occasionally, deeper scaling with hand equipment is required to remove tartar from the root surfaces of gum-infected teeth. This will remove the germs in the gum pockets and allow the gums to heal. This operation is known as root-planing. In such cases, a suitable local anesthetic would be administered before cleaning to guarantee optimal comfort.
Teeth Polishing Precautions

Some people may feel transient dental sensitivity following tooth polishing, particularly if they have thin enamel or already have tooth sensitivity. This sensitivity usually fades after a few days. If you have any concerns regarding sensitivity, speak with your dentist before the
operation.

Smoking
Diabetes
Tea/coffee/wine staining

Ans- If the tartar deposits are only superficial, they may not be unpleasant. If there are deep deposits, your dentist will normally administer local anesthesia before the treatment. There may be some bleeding since plaque and tartar generally induce gum discomfort, and touching very irritated gums might cause bleeding.
Will this be enough to reverse my gum disease?
Ans- In the early stages of gum disease, a simple tooth cleaning or scaling may be sufficient. However, if the gum disease has progressed to later stages, such as periodontitis, more treatment may be required. For a brighter, healthier smile, schedule frequent scaling and polishing appointments
The machine used to clean the teeth sounds terrifying; could it damage the teeth and gums?
The ultrasonic scaler we employ emits a high-pitched sound that may appear frightening to some, but it is actually a very mild technology. It consists of a rounded tip that vibrates at a frequency that removes tartar without damaging the teeth. It also sprays a cold mist of water to remove plaque and tartar.
