Do you need professional teeth cleaning?

Phrases like ‘professional plaque removal’ and ‘tooth scraping’ can make scaling sound like a scary procedure, but it’s simply a professional way of deep cleaning teeth and gums to keep them healthy.

If you aren’t cleaning your teeth and gums properly at home, bacteria from food and drink can stain your teeth and form a sticky film of plaque, which can harden into calculus that’s harder to remove.

This can build up on the surfaces of teeth and in the small gaps between them, irritating the gums and potentially leading to tooth decay and gum disease – known as gingivitis, which can become more severe periodontitis if left untreated.

Routine scale and polish treatments with our Warrington dental hygienists can help to prevent gum disease by removing the build-up from all areas, including the hard-to-reach parts, using either an ultrasonic dental scaler with a stream of water, specialist manual instruments, or both.

After this de-scaling, cosmetic polishing with a rubber cup and prophylaxis paste or ‘air polishing,’ equipment can smooth out rough patches of enamel and help to lift discolouration, improving the appearance of your teeth.

It really is as simple as that – though you may require more comprehensive scaling if you have a severe calculus build-up. In any case, our friendly scale and polish hygienists can advise you on how your oral hygiene is lacking and how to improve it.

Nervous patient? Don’t worry – we can help!

Here atDental Solutions, we’ve been recognised for our commitment to helping nervous patients, and have a range of options available to help put you at ease during your time with us.

Although this isn’t a painful procedure, we offer numbing gels for nervous patients, helping to remove any sensation whatsoever so you can feel more relaxed during your treatment.

Scale and Polish vs Hygienist

If it’s been a while since you last saw a dentist, or if you’ve never received a professional teeth cleaning treatment before, you might not know who you need to see and which procedure would be best for you to book in for.

While a dentist may recommend seeing a hygienist after a routine check-up, it’s a good idea to be proactive about your oral hygiene and book a dental hygienist consultation so you can speak to an expert treatment coordinator.

Specially trained hygienists will be able to check your teeth and gums carefully to determine which level of treatment you need to restore your dental hygiene. Our dental hygienists in Warrington can identify problem areas and will let you know whether you need a scale and polish or more targeted treatment for concerns like gum disease.
