Why is it important to get your teeth cleaned?
Dental treatment is vital if you wish to have a healthy beautiful smile as it eliminates calcium and other substances deposits from your mouth. Over time they combine and harden to form plaque/tartar. So it is essential to brush your teeth in order to avoid the accumulation of plaque. However, if there is a buildup of plaque it is impossible to remove it on your own and you will need to get it removed by a dentist. It is important to get the plaque regularly removed from your teeth to reduce the risk of gum disease and potential teeth loss.
Dentists recommend a dental check up and clean every 6 months to avoid the plaque accumulation. Teeth cleaning also known as scaling and polishing treatment which is of 2 parts. Scaling part of the treatment includes the removal of the plaque and polishing to smoothen the tooth surface which helps to remove any stains and also to avoid bacteria or plaque build up.
Pricing
The pricing of the scale and polish treatment varies from patient to patient. If you haven’t had your teeth cleaned in a while, have a lot of plaque, and poor oral hygiene overall it is likely the price of the treatment will be a little higher compared to someone who gets their teeth cleaned regularly and has good oral hygiene habits. The cost of the treatment starts from $120.
Maintaining good oral health
Maintaining good oral health after your scaling and polishing is vital. This can be done by brushing twice a day and flossing at least once a day. It is prefered to use a fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash with a soft bristle toothbrush/an electric toothbrush.
