Cleaning and Polishing

Regular brushing and flossing cannot remove the thin layer of plaque which builds up on teeth completely. As a result this builds up and hardens to form a hard material on the teeth which can irritate the gums and if left unattended can cause bleeding spongy gums, bad breath and further progresses to severe gum problems.
Stains as a result of excessive tea, coffee, red wines and smoking also form, resulting in yellow teeth
Regular cleaning also helps maintain the gum health around crowns, bridges, implants thus improving their life span.
Hence it is advisable to get a cleaning and polishing done at least once a year. 

Procedure:

The dentist will remove the hardened tartar with the help of ultrasonic scaling instruments which have a water spray to flush out everything. A polishing is a must to smoothen out the roughness caused by the tartar.

Painless procedure and usually completed in a single sitting.     

Periodontal Treatment

Bleeding spongy gums, bad breath, loosening teeth, drifting teeth, gum recession are all signs of underlying gum problems. All these cases can be treated with a varied range of periodontal treatment.

According to the gum problem and depending on the severity of the problem deep cleaning or minor gum surgeries can be carried out.
Depigmentation of severely dark gums can also be done.
