Professional teeth cleaning (scale and clean) is recommended to be done 6 monthly. This is because even with daily home tooth brushing and flossing of your teeth and gums, stubborn stains and calculus can develop over a period of time that can not be removed with normal toothbrushing. Our dentists use special instruments to remove plaque, food debris, bacteria, stains and calculus to prevent gum disease, decay and bad breath.
For many patients gum disease can be asymptomatic until it is in its advanced stages. Some common symptoms of gum disease include bleeding gums when flossing and brushing, halitosis (bad breath), mobility of teeth and yellow or brown deposits around the gum.
