WHAT IS A SCALE AND CLEAN?

A Scale and Clean procedure is essential for effectively removing stubborn plaque and tartar that cannot be eliminated through regular brushing and flossing alone. If left untreated, tartar buildup can lead to various dental issues such as sensitivity, cavities, gum recession, gingivitis, and periodontitis gum disease.

To ensure optimal oral health, it is crucial to have regular dental check-ups and undergo a Scale and Clean when necessary. This procedure is performed by your dentist, who safely removes the accumulated buildup, preventing potential future problems. By prioritizing routine dental visits and professional cleaning, you can maintain a healthy smile and prevent the progression of oral health issues caused by tartar buildup.

WHY DO I NEED A SCALE AND CLEAN?

Despite our best efforts in regular brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar buildup can still occur, leading to cavities and long-term dental problems. This is often due to the challenge of reaching certain areas within our mouths, which can be difficult to clean effectively without professional assistance. It is entirely normal and common to have areas that slowly accumulate buildup over time.

Fortunately, your dentist is trained to identify these problem areas, thoroughly clean them, and provide you with helpful tips on maintaining oral hygiene in those specific regions. By undergoing a scale and clean procedure, the accumulated buildup is removed, helping you avoid potentially painful and damaging consequences such as cavities, gingivitis, periodontitis (gum disease), and more.

Remember, early detection and removal of buildup through professional cleaning significantly contribute to maintaining optimal oral health and preventing the progression of dental issues. Your dentist plays a crucial role in identifying and addressing these concerns, ensuring a healthier and happier smile for you.
