Why Dental Cleaning, Scaling, and Polishing is Important

Dental cleaning, scaling, and polishing are not necessary but it is definitely important for every individual. Dental scaling and polishing are highly recommended for people with tartar buildup on their teeth. These tartar and plaque get hardened over time which leads to gum disease and tooth decay. Hence dental cleaning, scaling, and polishing become essential. 

Here are the top advantages of teeth cleaning, scaling, and polishing to know why it is important for you:

• Removes stains: The primary advantage of cleaning, scaling, and polishing your teeth is removing stains. If you have any bad habits like chewing tobacco or drinking alcohol, it leaves stains on your teeth. These stains do not go away with brushing your teeth, you need professional cleaning and scaling services in Patna, to make your smile brighter and whiter.
• Prevents tooth decay: Hardened plaque and tartar cause many dental problems including tooth decay. Brushing and flossing are not enough to remove the entire food debris and plaque sitting on the tooth. Scaling removes all the bacteria from your teeth which makes any damaged or broken teeth visible. We will fix all the dental problems once it is detected.
• Prevents gum diseases: Hardened tartar and plaque building can also damage your gums and cause gum diseases which can further lead to periodontitis and loss of teeth. Not only does cleaning and scaling teeth help in preventing tooth decay but also prevents your gums from diseases.
• Prevents bad breath: Regular brushing and flossing help you prevent bad breath because it removes all the bacteria and food debris from your teeth. However, this is not enough when calculus deposits on your teeth. Scaling and polishing removes tartar which helps in preventing bad breath.  
• Improves overall oral health: You might not know this, but your body’s overall health is associated with your mouth. It is the gateway to your whole body hence, it is crucial to keep your mouth regularly clean. Maintaining oral health lowers the risk of heart disease, stroke, and bone loss. Besides, it also decreases the chances of diabetes. When your teeth and gums are cleaned and free from all diseases, you maintain good oral health.
• Save money on restorative treatments: Some people think that regular cleaning, scaling, and polishing will cost them a lot. But the fact is that with regular cleaning and scaling you can avoid many gum diseases and dental problems which helps you save money you will spend on root canal treatment or dental implant surgery in the future. Hence, you should always take preventive care to prevent any costly teeth restorative treatments in the future.

Dental Scaling and Polishing Process

Our patients visit us for regular dental routine checkups, we examine their dental condition followed by cleaning, scaling, and polishing. We recommend scaling and polishing every six months to maintain hygiene and best oral health.

Here is what the scaling and polishing process involves:

• The process starts with a physical examination of your teeth using a dental mirror. Dr. Sonal will examine your teeth and gums closely to see the signs of gum disease and other dental problems.
• Next, she uses a digital X-ray, especially for new patients or any of those who have not gone through the dental cleaning process for over six months. This facilitates detecting any severe underlying concerns like bone loss, tooth decay, and tumors/cysts.
• By using a scaler, Dr. Sonal removes the tartar buildup on your teeth. For minor plaque and tartar, she uses a manual scaler. For large calculus, she uses an ultrasonic scaler.
• Once the stains and tartar are removed, she starts teeth polishing. This brightens your teeth by removing any leftover stains.
• After this, she will provide flossing. This is a crucial teeth cleaning step that removes leftover plaque even from the trouble spots.
• After scaling and polishing, she may provide fluoride treatment. It is a treatment where fluoride gel/foam/varnish is applied to your teeth using a brush or swab to prevent tooth decay and strengthen enamel.

The process ends with a final checkup. Dr. Sonal Sinha ensures that you do not have any other dental concerns. She examines your teeth alignment, gum, and teeth enamel. She looks closely taking a digital X-ray for any concerns that need to be addressed. Dr. Sonal also advises her patients for follow-up checkups and regular teeth cleaning.

Some Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Scaling and Polishing

Are teeth scaling a painful procedure? Will there be bleeding?

The teeth scaling and polishing process may frighten people but this is not actually scary. You will not feel pain by removing tartar and plaque on your teeth. If there are deep deposits on your gum line, the dentist will use local anesthesia before starting the process. During the process, it may slightly bleed because the calculus causes gum soreness. Touching the inflamed gums will cause bleeding. But, you won’t feel any pain.

Do scaling and polishing cause sensitive teeth?

Scaling your teeth causes sensitivity only for a certain period which is the normal process of healing. Later, you will not feel sensitivity to cold or hot. It is normal and can last up to a week.

How often should I get it done?

This depends on your condition. Usually, we recommend scaling every six months. Doing it twice a year keeps your oral health and hygiene well-maintained. And, if you maintain good oral health by brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing, then you are advised to do scaling every year.
