Many people who smoke discover that this habit leads to discoloured teeth. But smoking cigarettes is not the only culprit for teeth stains. Tea and coffee can also lead to unsightly stains on your teeth.
Brushing your teeth won’t remove the yellowing and sometimes brown scale that builds up on your teeth. In certain lighting your teeth can look even more discoloured, so much so that people become embarrassed and afraid to smile.
Getting your teeth cleaned and polished is easy and affordable at a Dental and Orthodontic Dental Clinic. This simple cosmetic dental service will make a huge difference to your smile and public confidence, leaving you with clean, whiter looking teeth.
The oral hygienist will also remove built-up scale and plaque, while checking for cavities and other dental health issues. You will also be advised to floss daily and brush your teeth morning and night, eat less sugary foods.
Scale and polish should be performed every six months. A deep clean prevents other dental problems associated with plaque and scale build-up. Scale and Polish is the cleaning of your teeth, both the visible part above the gums and just under the gums where your toothbrush is unable to reach.
Scaling refers to the removal of plaque and calculus (the white or yellow hard deposits that accumulate on your teeth and is not removable by routine brushing).
Teeth whitening is an optional next step to take.
“It was a nice change of being able to talk and smile without worrying about people seeing my teeth and wondering if they were dirty or full of cavities. The lovely dentist lady who cleaned my teeth suggested as most dentist do that; I should have them cleaned every six months. This makes sense as the teeth also get inspected along with the deep clean that prevents other dental problems. In addition to other advice. For example, she said that I should try and brush each tooth for ten seconds each and warned me of a cavity at one of the back molars.” Salmah Rosa
The effects of the ‘scale and polish’ lasts about 6 months and in six months’ time the teeth still look good, but incredible after another necessary polish.
You could go for a check up and pay extra on other dental related costs or you can get your teeth inspected and cleaned at the same time while preventing other issues.
Look for your nearest Dental and Orthodontic Clinic branch to book for your scale and polish today.
