Dental hygienist scale & polish keeping your teeth in good condition
Dental cleaning, which is also known prophylaxis, scale and polish, teeth cleaning and professional dental cleaning, is an oral hygiene procedure that is carried out by a scale and polish dental hygienist or a scale and polish dentist on a patient in order to prevent building up of cavities, plaque and sticky deposits on the teeth. These cavities can inhabit bacterial and other microbes, thereby causing tooth decay and diseases like gingivitis, halitosis and periodontal diseases. Dental cleaning can serve as a perfect prevention for tooth decay, deposit of cavities and for cosmetic purposes.

It is regrettably true that even with regular brushing and flossing of the teeth, there exist spaces between teeth and gums that are not accessible. This usually results to the accumulation of unwanted deposits on and around teeth and gum pockets, thereby resulting to tooth decay.
Nevertheless, with the help of our scale and polish dental hygienist, we believe that all the aftermath of these calcified deposits are avoidable. Therefore, we urge our patients to hire the services of our scale and polish hygienists, who have great experience and expertise in dental practices in order to help them avoid plaque, cavity and to put a healthy smile on their faces.

The Processes of Dental Scale & Polish
The whole process of dental cleaning can take just a visit to our scale and polish dental hygienist. You may ask; how long a does scale and polish take and how often should I scale and polish? The process of scale and polish does not take more than an hour to be completed and you should repeat this process as often as you can. It is best you visit a dentist for your scale and polish, instead of scale and polish teeth at home.
The process stars with our hygienist disengaging the plaques around your gum pockets and teeth with an ultrasonic vibrating instrument. This process is not painful, but if you feel any pain, you should let the dentist know so that he or she can apply a numbing agent to your teeth to reduce the pain. After using the ultrasonic vibrator, our hygienist will remove the tartars and smaller debris with special hand tools and clean the gum line.
When she is done with removing the debris, she would polish each tooth to restore its natural and shiny appearance. When she is done with the cleaning processes, she would apply fluoride and anti-bacterial pastes to strengthen the teeth and heal the gum respectively.
If she notices the present of gingivitis and other gum diseases, then further treatments may be prescribed for you. Do not worry about our scale and polish price cost because we have the most affordable cost you can never get anywhere else.
Gum Disease
Gingivitis (Gum Disease) means inflammation of the gums. This is when the gums around the teeth become very red and swollen, showing that the area is inflamed. Often this swollen gum bleeds when it is brushed during cleaning.
Long-standing gingivitis can progress to periodontal disease. There are a number of forms of periodontal disease and they all affect the supporting structures of the teeth. As the disease progresses the bone anchoring the teeth in the jaw is lost, making the teeth loose. If this is not treated, the teeth may eventually fall out.
