Scale and Clean in Perth

Professional teeth cleaning at Perth Dental Rooms may help remove surface stains, support oral health and improve breath freshness.

Regular dental scaling and polishing removes plaque and tartar build-up that may contribute to tooth decay and gum disease. Advanced gum disease may lead to tooth loss.

Maintaining good oral health forms part of your overall health and wellbeing. Research has identified associations between oral health and some general health conditions, although this does not mean professional dental cleaning prevents those conditions.

We can also provide guidance on brushing and flossing techniques to help you maintain your oral health between dental visits.

THE DENTAL SCALE AND POLISH PROCEDURE

We recommend a dental scale and polish with your dentist every three to six months, depending on the condition of your oral health.

It’s a straightforward but comprehensive procedure that takes about 30 minutes if your teeth are healthy. If you have a build-up of tartar on your teeth, it could take more like an hour.

A dental scale and polish is particularly beneficial in reaching parts of the mouth that are difficult to clean at home. The procedure entails:

Dental scaling. Your dentist removes plaque and tartar from teeth with sharp-tipped instruments that oscillate at high speed and emit a jet of water. Stubborn stains can be treated with manual instruments.
Dental polishing. Your teeth will be polished with a rotating pad and special toothpaste to get them even cleaner and brighter.
