Scaling and Polishing
Teeth are covered by a thin biofilm called plaque which is formed by the saliva and micro-organisms. When brushing is done twice in a day the plaque is kept under control . If there is irregularity in brushing soft deposits called materia-alba tends to get accumulated on the surfaces of the teeth. Further negligence in brushing and inability to clean certain areas due to irregular teeth leads to the soft deposits getting hardened called tartar. This tartar becomes a platform for continuous food and bacteria to accumulate. This leads to inflammation of the gums and bone loss. The bone disease is called Periodontitis.
The solution for prevention is regular brushing twice in a day and periodic visits to the dentists every 6 months or 12 months. At Dent-Align we motivate our patients to get their teeth cleaned 6 monthly/ yearly. By using advanced ultrasonic equipments the patients have a comfortable cleaning experience. This is followed by polishing of the teeth thereby giving a feeling of freshness in the mouth. Tooth brushing techniques are also educated to the patients.
