Keep Your Smile Healthy and Fresh With Our Scale and Clean

Even if you brush and floss regularly, you may still miss plaque and tartar accumulations in your mouth. Plaque and tartar build-up can cause cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. The good news is that a regular scale and clean will help keep your teeth and gums healthy.

A scale and clean, also known as professional teeth cleaning, aims to remove all plaque and tartar build-up in the mouth. These build-ups above and below the gum line can only be removed with special dental instruments. A scale and clean removes plaque and tartar that can’t be removed by brushing alone.

At Joondanna Family Dental, we make sure that all calcified plaque is removed from the teeth, ensuring that bacteria can’t attach to them or food particles can’t get stuck between them. You will leave feeling better about your smile after this quick, efficient, and non-invasive dental procedure!

FAQs

FAQs About Scale and Clean

A routine scale and clean removes tartar, a hardened build-up of plaque on the teeth. If not removed, this can cause gum disease because it provides an ideal environment for bacteria to thrive. Also, it prevents bad breath since tartar can cause an unappealing smell.

Plaque is a sticky, colourless layer that forms in your mouth. It is caused by bacteria that mix with sugary or starchy foods, such as milk, soft drinks, fruits, pasta, and bread. The acid released by these bacteria causes the carbohydrates in food and drinks to be broken down. After eating or drinking, bacteria, carbohydrates, and acids may mix in your mouth to produce plaque if you don’t brush your teeth soon afterwards.

If plaque isn’t removed regularly, it can absorb minerals from your saliva and solidify into a yellow or off-white substance known as tartar. Tartar accumulates along your gumline on the front and back of your teeth. While flossing may help loosen some tartar build-up, a professional teeth cleaning is recommended to remove it completely.

A scale and clean with a thorough dental examination is recommended every six months. This will keep your mouth healthy. However, your dentist may recommend more frequent scaling and cleaning if you have mild gum disease.

A routine scale and clean, also called prophylactic cleaning, removes plaque and tartar build-up from your teeth and gum line. Your dentist will first remove the plaque deposits caught on or between the teeth using an ultrasonic scaler. An ultrasonic scaler helps loosen and dislodge plaque. Your dentist will supplement this with an oral irrigation, or “wash and flush.” With this method, your dentist will squirt a tiny spray of cool water between your teeth to remove plaque and food particles.

Next will be the scaling phase. This process involves using a scaler to scrape plaque and tartar from your teeth. Your dentist may also use the ultrasonic cleaner at this time to clean below the gum line. After the surfaces of your teeth have been cleaned and smoothed, they will be polished. Your dentist will use a slow-speed handpiece with a rotating rubber cup. Prophylaxis paste will be scooped into the cup and swirled around on your teeth to make them smooth and glossy.

Lastly, your dentist may offer you a fluoride treatment option. Your dentist will apply a fluoride gel to your teeth to prevent bacteria and acid damage. You will be instructed to swish the fluoride gel around in your mouth for about 30 seconds to a minute and spit it out. You will be advised not to drink, eat, or rinse your mouth for 30 minutes after fluoride treatment.

Plaque and tartar build-up and bacteria along the gum lines are usually the causes of bleeding gums during professional dental cleanings. The swollen tissues start bleeding when dental instruments disturb the bacteria nestled under your gums. This build-up can also be an indication of gingivitis, the first stage of gum disease. Gum disease makes your gums swollen and sensitive. That’s why they may bleed when your dentist cleans the area.

By getting professional teeth cleaning, you can prevent bleeding gums from happening again. So long as your gum disease isn’t severe, your bleeding gums will go away in just a few weeks.

A scale and clean procedure has its risks. Some of the most common side effects are pain and sensitivity. In most cases, side effects are only temporary, lasting for about five to seven days. However, it may last for a few weeks in extensive cases. Additional risks include:·

  • Receding gums
  • Infection, especially if you are immunocompromised
