Scaling & polishing
As part of you dental check an assessment of the general health of your gums will have been performed. Depending on your gum health you may be prescribed a simple routine hygiene appointment or a more in depth series of appointments to get your gums back to their optimum condition.
Gum disease
Gum disease is a result of plaque stagnating around teeth and gums. Plaque consists of food debris and bacteria in a sticky film which is left behind on our teeth every day. If this is not removed by regular toothbrushing it causes irritation to our gums and holes in your teeth.
Symptoms of gum disease are:
- Inflammation/swelling of the gums
- Bleeding when brushing/eating
- Bad taste in mouth
- Bad breath
What happens at a hygiene appointment?
At your hygiene appointment routine scaling and polishing will be carried out as well practical aspects of how to clean your teeth with the use of floss and interdental brushes.
Stain Removal (Airflow)
Overtime the tooth surface can become stained by food and drinks, such as red wine, black tea and coffee and also cigarettes. The tooth surface can look discoloured, and patient's can feel embarrassed by their smile.
Staining can be professsional removed easily leaving the mouth fresh and the tooth surface clean and restored to its natural colour. This advanced polishing technology removes stains from those hard to reach areas such as in between the teeth and within the pits and fissures (crinkles) of the teeth.
