Hygiene check ups are recommended as part of a healthy oral routine. We recommend you book in to see our hygienist every 3 to 4 months to ensure your teeth stay clean and healthy, reducing the chase of you needing expensive treatment in the future.
If you currently have stained teeth or tartar build up this could lead to future complications such as gum disease of tooth decay. Catching these symptoms early can lower your chance of needing future expensive dental procedures.
We recommend a scale and polish 4 times a year to reduce the risk of gum disease. Having your teeth professionally cleaned will remove tough stains and plaque build up, that cannot be removed from standard brushing and flossing. The key benefits after treatment are:
Assessment - Your dentist will carry out a full dental examination which could include x-rays to assess the overall health of your mouth. Once you pass the dental examination your dentist will then explain the cleaning process.
Scrape - The next step is the scrape stage. Your dentist will use an ultrasound scraper to get rid of any plaque and tartar build up, followed by
Polish - The final step is the polish. This is where your dentist will polish the surface of your teeth to remove any remaining stains. This is painless and usually takes 20 minutes.
