HYGIENE & PREVENTION

SCALING 

Scaling is a professional deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque, tartar (calculus), and harmful bacteria from the surfaces of your teeth, particularly below the gum line where regular brushing and flossing cannot reach. This treatment helps prevent and manage gum disease, reduces inflammation, and promotes healthier gums while maintaining your overall oral health.

ROOT PLANING 

Root planing is often performed alongside scaling as part of the treatment for gum disease. During this procedure, plaque and tartar are carefully removed from the root surfaces below the gum line, and the roots are smoothed to help the gums reattach more effectively to the teeth. Root planing promotes healing, reduces gum pockets, and helps prevent the progression of periodontal disease.

POLISHING & FLUORIDE

After your professional cleaning, your teeth are polished to remove surface stains and leave them feeling smooth and clean. A fluoride treatment is then applied to help strengthen tooth enamel, reduce the risk of cavities, and protect your teeth against decay. This quick and painless treatment is beneficial for both children and adults as part of maintaining long-term oral health.

NIGHTGUARD

A night guard is a custom-made oral appliance designed to protect your teeth from the effects of grinding and clenching (bruxism) while you sleep. It acts as a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, helping to prevent excessive wear, fractures, jaw discomfort, and headaches associated with teeth grinding. A custom-fitted night guard provides a comfortable fit and offers greater protection than over-the-counter alternatives.
