Teeth Cleaning
Teeth Cleaning
Teeth cleaning also known as ‘Scaling’. All human beings accumulate plaque and tartar around the gums of teeth. It’s a normal physiologic process just like the growth of hair and nails. Some individuals accumulate tartar faster than others, therefore requiring cleaning every 6 months, while some accumulate tartar slower, therefore requiring cleaning every 2 years or so. Accordingly, we advise our patients to get cleaning done every 6 months / 1 year / 2 years after analysing their body’s requirement.

Procedure
Oral evaluation
The first thing your dentist will do is evaluate your teeth and gums to check for pockets in your gums, areas with maximum deposits, and nooks and corners of your mouth that tend to accumulate more dirt.
Remove plaque and tartar using the scaler
After evaluation, a treatment plan is devised for you that involves determining the number of sittings you will require. Your dentist uses an ultrasonic scaler to dislodge the deposits around your teeth and gums.
Polishing of Teeth
Once all the tartar and deposits have been scrapped off from your teeth and gums, your dentist will apply a gritty toothpaste on your teeth and brush with a motor-powered brush. This paste is usually sweet and you will hear a rough grinding noise during this step of teeth cleaning. This step is called polishing and is done to make sure there is no more tartar left on your teeth.
Flossing
While flossing is something you are expected to do every single day, after the teeth polishing is done, your dentist will floss between all your teeth to ensure no calculus or hard deposits are left in between them.
Rinsing
You will now be given a mouth wash to rinse your mouth of all remnant debris. This will feel extremely refreshing and clean.
Application of Fluoride Gel
Once you have rinsed your mouth properly, your dentist will apply a fluoride gel on the surface of your teeth. The fluoride acts as a protectant and protects them from decay.
