What Is Scaling And Root Planing?
​
Dental scaling(cleaning) and root planing (deep cleaning) remove any plaque and debris from your teeth that may have built up in certain areas.
Your teeth will be professionally cleaned with special equipment and pastes.
If you have a bridge, denture, orthodontic treatment or a dental implant you will have specific hygiene needs which our consultants will be able to assist you with.
Gum Diseases
Your gums are like cushions for your teeth: they surround the teeth in the jaws and help to support them. Looking after your gums is just as important as looking after your teeth, otherwise, you are more likely to experience gum disease.
Red and swollen gums that bleed when you brush them could be a sign of gum disease, also known as gingivitis. When gingivitis is left untreated it can develop further into a type of infection known as periodontitis, which affects the entire area surrounding the tooth. A result of this could be losing your tooth so it's vital to avoid.
The best way to treat gum disease is to maintain good oral health by brushing twice a day, flossing in between the teeth and using a dentist-recommended mouthwash.
A professional consult with our consultant can help you get rid of gum diseases. Gum disease is also linked to heart disease and can be more problematic during pregnancy
Bad Breath
Bad breath is a very common problem and there are many different causes. Bad breath can be improved by following a daily oral hygiene regime and cutting down on sugary foods and drinks. Regular trips to the hygienist will also ensure your plaque levels are kept under control.
