A bright smile can boost confidence, but keeping your teeth and gums healthy goes far beyond appearance. Good oral care plays an important role in overall well-being, and regular professional dental cleaning can help prevent problems before they become serious.
According to Dr Wandile Nxumalo, dentist at Real Relaxed Dentistry, brushing and flossing remain important parts of daily oral hygiene. However, these routines cannot always remove hardened plaque, known as tartar, which builds up on the teeth over time.
“Once tartar forms, it can only be removed by a dentist through scaling,” Dr Nxumalo explained. “Polishing then smooths the tooth surface, making it harder for new plaque to accumulate.”
PROCEDURE
Scaling and polishing is a professional cleaning procedure that removes tartar, plaque and stains that ordinary brushing may not completely get rid of. It can help reduce the risk of gum disease, tooth decay and bad breath while also leaving the teeth looking cleaner. The treatment can also help remove stains caused by everyday consumption of foods and drinks, as well as tobacco. Regular professional cleanings, generally recommended every six months, can form an important part of maintaining good oral health and identifying potential dental problems early.
At Real Relaxed Dentistry, patients can access a range of dental services designed to address different oral health needs. These include crown and bridgework to restore damaged or missing teeth, root canal therapy to help save infected teeth and tooth extractions performed with minimal discomfort. The practice also provides prosthetics, including dentures, for patients who require tooth replacement, as well as braces and orthodontic treatment to improve the alignment and appearance of teeth.
