Scaling and Polishing
A dental cleaning typically involves two simple steps:
Scaling: This process is used to remove all the tartar that has accumulated on the teeth, or between the teeth and the gums, that cannot be removed by brushing alone. Patients should receive scaling treatment regularly, at least once a year, as the buildup of tartar can lead to diseases such as gingivitis and tooth loss.
Polishing: This describes the final part of the dental cleaning process in which the dental hygienist uses a rotating rubber wheel coated with paste to remove the stains and any remaining plaque from the surface of the teeth. This results in smoother, more healthy looking teeth.
Why do I need the scale and polish?
Although scale and polishing removes stains and brightens your smile, it is not just a cosmetic procedure. Our Dubai teeth polishing smoothes out small imperfections and rougher areas of the teeth to prevent plaque from building up again and causing diseases in the future. However, it doesn’t necessarily improve the health of your teeth either.
Why should I bother then?
The idea behind this treatment is to improve the look of your teeth and, as a result, your general appearance. The benefits can be considered psychological rather than physical, as a shiny set of teeth can always boost your confidence. At the Monroe Medical Center in Dubai, we understand how important confidence is in our personal, professional and social lives. That’s why we’re committed to giving you that teeth polishing uplift!
1. Say goodbye to stains
Discolourations on your teeth can be caused by consuming darker substances like tea, coffee, wine and tobacco. Here in Dubai, we offer quick and easy in-clinic treatments to eliminate those pesky stains and restore your teeth to their brighter and more natural shade. With a sparkling set of teeth, you won’t be able to stop smiling!
2. Plaque
Foods and drinks rich in carbohydrates can lead to plaque building up around your teeth. Plaque doesn’t just cause problems for your teeth – it can also accumulate underneath your gums and damage the underlying bones supporting your teeth.
It can be difficult to get rid of plaque by simply brushing your teeth, which is why we recommend a scale-and-polish treatment from our trained professionals to thoroughly clean your teeth and gums and eliminate any lingering plaque.
3. Bad breath
At some point in our lives, we all feel self-conscious about bad breath (a.k.a. halitosis). If this is an ongoing problem, our teeth polishing Dubai treatment may be the solution to rebuild your confidence. Our teeth polishing in Dubai can help fight back against halitosis by removing the accumulated debris and bacteria in your mouth, leaving you with fresh and odour-free breath.
4. Tartar
In addition to removing plaque, polishing and teeth scaling in Dubai can also help remove tartar. If plaque is left untreated over time, it may harden into tartar which can lead to tooth decay and is more difficult to remove. Fortunately, our professional hygienists can target and eliminate tartar reserves with our teeth polishing and teeth scaling Dubai treatment.
When is Scale and Polish in Dubai necessary?
Your teeth should be cleaned and polished at least as often as your dentist or hygienist in Dubai suggests. It all depends on the health of your gums and your commitment to your oral hygiene routine.
However, most dentists and dental hygienists generally recommend that you make appointments for cleanings and checkups every six months to maintain your oral hygiene and keep diseases at bay.
The Procedure for Dental Scaling and Polishing in Dubai
The procedure begins with our dentist assessing your mouth and teeth during a routine checkup before referring you to our team of dental hygienists.
Our hygienists use specialised state-of-the-art instruments to target and eliminate plaque and tartar deposits in your teeth and gums. The first part of our dental polishing Dubai treatment involves removing plaque and tartar from the teeth and around the gumline using an ultrasonic device. If left to build up, these deposits can become a breeding ground for dangerous bacteria which eventually leads to gum disease and decay.
In some cases, more extensive scaling with handheld tools is necessary for cleaning out tartar stuck to the roots of teeth. This deep cleaning process is known as root planing. Local anaesthetics will usually be provided before the cleaning to make sure the patient is comfortable and doesn’t feel any pain.
After the dental scaling has been completed, we proceed to polish the teeth to remove any external stains and smoothen the surfaces. This can be achieved using a rotating wheel covered in cleaning paste – and, in more difficult cases, an air-powder spray. The result is smooth, clean and shiny teeth that can be easily maintained at home.
