FAQS:
How often should I get my teeth cleaned?
It is advised that you visit your dentist every six months. This will help diagnose any dental problems that you may have and initiate effective treatment.
Does the dental scaling and polishing procedure hurt?
The procedure involves removing plaque and tartar, which may adhere to the teeth promoting germ growth. The teeth are not drilled or dug during the procedure; however, you may feel mild pain. Your dentist will give you a pain-killer or mild surface anaesthetic to minimise the pain-sensitivity.
How many times will I have to visit my dentist to complete the procedure?
The number of visits is primarily dependent on the dental problem and its severity. In the case of mild to moderate plaque accumulation or tartar with early gingivitis (inflammation of gums), usually only a single visit is sufficient. However, if there is excessive tartar buildup with severe gingivitis, two or more appointments may be necessary to eliminate the dental problem entirely.
Will I have to floss after the procedure?
You will be required to regularly floss to keep your teeth looking aesthetic and clean.
Is polishing included as well?
Yes, it is. After scaling polishing will be done.
Are there more services available like filling etc?
For now it's just scaling and polishing. However, if you have any other questions related to your teeth or oral cavity you may ask the dentist.
I have cracked teeth, will the dentist be able to guide and consult about the procedures that should be done?
Yes, the dentist will answer all your concerned questions related to your teeth and oral cavity.
