Professional Dental Checkup

Regular teeth cleaning is one of the methods to maintain a healthy and bright smile. At our clinic in Bangalore, we offer professional teeth cleaning services designed to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains, ensuring optimal oral health and a confident smile.

What is dental plaque?

Dental Plaque is a soft, sticky & colorless film that is composed of bacteria and is found deposited on the surface of teeth and underneath the gums. Dental plaque, if not cleaned or removed, turns into a hard structure called tartar, which then leads to the formation of dental cavities and gum diseases.

What is tartar?

Tartar is the hardened form of dental plaque and is yellowish in color and sticks to your teeth and underneath the gums. It cannot be removed by brushing alone and needs professional dental cleaning.

What is Professional Dental / Teeth Cleaning?

Professional teeth cleaning is a process that helps to remove dental stains, plaque and tartar deposited on the teeth with the help of clinical instruments in a dental clinic. This in turn helps in maintaining healthy gums, prevents dental decay and bad breath in the oral cavity. Professional teeth cleaning is one step further than teeth cleaning at home as it effectively removes the hard deposits over the surface of the teeth and beneath the surface of the gums.

Why is teeth cleaning important?

It helps in maintaining the general oral health and prevents the formation of tooth cavities and gum diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis and finally tooth loss.
It cleans the oral cavity of the debris and bacteria and in turn prevents the development of bad breath or Halitosis.
It is quite cost-effective method to keep the teeth and gums healthy and prevents any further costs to manage further complications.

What to expect during a Professional teeth cleaning appointment?

We conduct a thorough oral health check-up that includes examination of teeth and gums and look for any signs of dental decay and the gum diseases.
After examination of oral cavity, depending on the amount the plaque and tartar deposition on the surface of the teeth and underneath the gums, we decide the number of appointments needed to clean the dental plaque.
We use professional teeth cleaning equipment to gently remove the dental plaque and tartar. After the last appointment we polish the surface of the teeth and smoothen the surface of the enamel using a gritty polishing paste.
For any remaining food particles and plaque, we use dental floss to complete the process.

Post-Cleaning Care Instructions

After teeth cleaning appointment, the patient might feel tooth sensitivity for about 24-48 hours.
The patient is recommended to brush teeth regularly with a fluoride toothpaste and use dental floss regularly to remove any left-out food particles in between the teeth.
The patient is asked to avoid drinking stained drinks such as tea or coffee for about 24-48 hours.
