Scaling removes plaque and tartar buildup above and below the gumline, followed by polishing to give your teeth a clean, smooth finish.

FAQs

Everything You Need to Know About Us

Taking care of your dental health is essential for your overall well-being. Here, we address common questions about dental care, from preventive tips to advanced treatments, to help you make informed decisions for a healthier, brighter smile.

What’s the difference between a dental cleaning and a deep cleaning?

Dental cleaning is a routine procedure that removes plaque and tartar above the gumline. Deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is recommended when gum disease is present and involves cleaning below the gumline to remove bacteria and infected tissue.

Can general dentistry help with sensitive teeth?

Yes, general dentists can manage tooth sensitivity by using desensitising treatments, fluoride applications, or recommending suitable toothpaste to strengthen enamel and reduce discomfort.

What are the two types of dental scaling?

The two types are:
Supragingival scaling: Removes plaque and calculus (hardened tartar) above the gumline.

Subgingival scaling & root planing: Done below the gumline to treat gum disease by cleaning deep pockets and smoothing the tooth roots to promote healing.

Why is oral screening important during a dental visit?

Checks for early signs of oral conditions, such as gum disease, lesions, or abnormal growths. If required, oral cancer screenings are conducted to detect early signs of cancer, pre-cancerous lesions, or unusual tissue changes.

When is a dental biopsy recommended?

A biopsy is advised when there are suspicious sores, persistent ulcers, lumps, or abnormal patches in the mouth that don’t heal. It helps confirm or rule out serious conditions like oral cancer or other mucosal diseases.
