It's never too late to get your smile straight

Good oral health is essential for overall well-being, yet many people don’t know the basics of general dentistry. Have you ever wondered what services a general dentist provides and how often you should visit one?

Scaling & Polishing

Scaling and polishing is a dental procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the surfaces of teeth. It is important to have this procedure done regularly as it helps to prevent the buildup of plaque and tartar, which can lead to cavities and periodontal disease.

The benefits of scaling and polishing include improved oral hygiene, fresher breath, and a brighter smile. Regular scaling and polishing can also help to reduce the risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and other oral health problems. Additionally, it can help to reduce the build-up of stains on the teeth and help to improve the overall appearance of the teeth.

Dental Fillings

Learn More

Dental fillings are necessary to help restore teeth that have been damaged by decay. Fillings help to prevent further damage to the teeth by sealing off the area where the decay was present. Fillings can also help to strengthen the teeth and improve their appearance. The benefits of having dental fillings include reducing the risk of further decay, restoring the strength and integrity of the tooth, and improving the aesthetics of the tooth. Fillings can also help to reduce sensitivity in the teeth and improve overall oral health.

FAQ

How often should I do scaling and polishing?

As a general guideline, we recommend a 6-month visit, but it varies according to individual conditions.

Are my teeth getting thinner after each scaling and polishing?

NO. Scaling and polishing can’t remove any healthy teeth structure, but the removal of calculus will create some illusion of emptiness.

I am not having dental cavities because I brush my teeth and I have no pain, right?

No, early stage of dental cavities has no pain. A thorough dental examination and clear digital imaging will be needed to diagnose dental cavities.

Do dental fillings hurt?

Sadly, depending on the extent of cavities and an individual’s threshold, it hurts sometimes.

Fortunately, you can request a local anaesthetic injection for a pain-free experience.
