Prevention is the best cure, and routine cleanings do just that. Over time, plaque and calculus (tartar) deposits accumulate on teeth causing gingivitis, cavities, bone loss and ultimately, tooth loss. Scaling & Polishing involves removing these deposits that cannot be eliminated by regular brushing, with the use of ultrasonic and hand instruments. A scale & polish every 6 months keeps your teeth and gums healthy and allows your dentist to diagnose oral health problems early on.
