Let's talk more about Scaling and Polishing...
Do you have bleeding gums during or not during when you brush?
Do you have bad breath or smelling mouth and you don't know what could be the cause?
Do you have mobile teeth or teeth that are shaking and painful??
Do you have holes or cavities on your teeth?
Do you have sensitive teeth?
Do you have discolored teeth or brownish coatings on or around your teeth??
If you have any of the above or more, then it's time you get Scaling and Polishing done.
Scaling and polishing is a dental procedure where plaque and calculus (tartar) which are dirts are removed with dental instruments for an oral cavity. Dirts in this case are dental plaque which is a biofilm or mass of bacteria( such as Streptococcus mutans ,Actinomyces Israeli and Lactobacillus) that grows on surfaces within the mouth.
Dental plaque is also known as microbial plaque, oral biofilm. Calculus (tartar) is composed of both inorganic (mineral) and organic (cellular and extracellular matrix) components. The mineral proportion of calculus ranges from approximately 40–60% and consists primarily of "calcium phosphate" crystals organized into four principal mineral phases, listed below. This explains why they are extremely hard and difficult to eliminate with just brushing.
1)Hdroxyapatite, Ca5(PO4)3OH,
2)whitlockite, Ca9(Mg,Fe)(PO4)6(PO3OH),
3)Octacalcium phosphate, Ca8H2(PO4)6.5H2O
4)Brushite, CaHPO4·2H2O.
Below are clinical pictures of patients seen in my clinic before and after they had their scaling and polishing done.
