Good oral hygiene is crucial in the prevention of a variety of dental and medical problems. Recent research has shown that the bacteria present in gum disease are also found in the plaques clogging arteries in people with heart disease. Therefore, a good professional cleaning is essential not only for the health of your teeth, but also for your general well-being. A cleaning includes:
Tartar Removal :
Calculus, or tartar, is hardened plaque that has firmly attached to the
surface above and below the gum line and must be removed by a dental hygienist.
Stains removal:
removes stains of tea, coffee, pan, gutka, smoking etc.
Plaque Removal- Plaque is a sticky, almost invisible film that forms on your teeth. It’s a growing
colony of living bacteria, food debris and saliva. If not periodically removed, the bacteria produce toxins that
infect and inflame the gums – the warning signs of periodontal disease.
Teeth polishing- this removes stains and further buildups of plaque that may not be removed during
regular tooth brushing.
Home Care Instructions- You’ll leave each dental visit with clear, easy-to-follow instructions to enhance the
care of your teeth and smile.
Cosmetic fillings :
These are teeth coloured fillings which are filled inside the teeth after
removal of the decay. They can be filled in front as well as back teeth; their advantage being
they are strong, invisible and non-toxic (unlike silver where mercury vapour causes
toxicity). They can be either composite or ceramic.
