Cleaning & Polishing
A healthy feeling goes hand in hand with a healthy smile. Though daily brushing and flossing help to maintain good dental hygiene, there are still certain areas that are hardly accessible. Over time, plaque becomes hardened and transformed into tartar, and stains from tea, coffee or food result in a discoloured appearance of the teeth. That’s absolutely fine since this is one of the reasons why professional cleaning is needed.
At Bombay Dental Specialities, we are concerned about preventive dental treatment that ensures perfect health of your teeth and gums. Each appointment will be tailored to your individual needs and designed to provide you with a healthier and happier smile.
Cleaning and polishing are carried out in one visit and are applicable to patients of any age. First of all, we examine the state of your teeth and gums to learn about your current oral condition and areas that require special treatment. This allows us to customise the procedure to your comfort and specific dental needs.
Then we carry out professional scaling in order to thoroughly remove the plaque and hardened tartar from your teeth and gums. Such deposits can’t be removed by simple brushing and, if ignored, can cause tooth decay, gum disease, and even bad breath. After that, we polish each tooth in order to remove light stains and give the smooth surface that would not allow for the plaque to accumulate again.
We will show you how to brush and floss teeth in the correct way, inform you about any dental concerns and tell you when you should have your next cleaning. Preventive treatment is most efficient when professional dental treatment is complemented by proper hygiene at home, so we do everything we can to give you practical recommendations. The procedure reflects the information provided in the Cleaning & Polishing draft, but is presented in a more conversational way.
Professional cleaning and polishing is more than just making your teeth smooth. This treatment helps to remove plaque and tartar that can’t be removed by simple brushing and reduces the risks of tooth decay and gum disease. Moreover, polishing gets rid of many surface stains, thus making your smile cleaner and brighter.
Regular dental cleaning also helps to freshen your breath, getting rid of bacteria accumulated around your teeth and gums. Equally important is the fact that each visit allows us to reveal any dental issues in the early stages. Thus, the treatment is usually easier, more comfortable and affordable. Combined with regular check-ups and proper dental care, professional cleaning plays a significant part in preserving your healthy smile for many years to come. The benefits of the procedure are similar to those provided in the uploaded source.
Is professional cleaning painful?
Most patients do not experience any pain during cleaning and polishing. In case of sensitivity of your teeth and gums, we adapt our technique to make your visit more comfortable.
How often should I have my teeth cleaned?
Most patients have their teeth professionally cleaned twice a year. However, patients suffering from gum disease, having heavy tartar accumulation or undergoing orthodontic treatment should have more frequent dental appointments due to their individual oral condition.
Does cleaning and polishing whiten my teeth?
Cleaning will help you get rid of many surface stains and make your teeth look brighter. Still, it will not affect the natural colour of your teeth. A professional teeth whitening procedure should be chosen if you want to change the colour of your teeth.
Can professional cleaning damage tooth enamel?
No. Professional cleaning conducted by skilled dental professionals will not harm your tooth enamel. On the contrary, it will help you to get rid of harmful plaque and support the health of your teeth and gums.
