Frequently Asked Questions About Our Services
Who performs the scale and clean?
A general dentist and a dental hygienist can both perform dental scaling and cleaning. They begin with an assessment of your entire mouth before beginning the cleaning process.
Signs you need a scale and clean
Cleaning and scaling your teeth provides several benefits for your teeth and overall oral health. It is recommended to visit a dentist twice a year to have them cleaned professionally by your dentist. Common signs that you need to scale and clean include the following:
- Plaque or calculus/tartar on your teeth that won’t come off with brushing and flossing
- You want to take preventive measures to keep your teeth healthy.
- You have stained teeth due to cigarette smoke.
- Symptoms of jaw joint pain (temporomandibular joint).
- You stain your teeth after drinking coffee, tea, or red wine.
How often do you need to go for a scale and clean?
People with healthy teeth and gums usually require a scale and clean every six months. However, if you’ve had gum disease in the past, your appointments should be spaced three to four months apart.
What to expect during a scale and clean treatment?
It is important that our patients understand what to expect during their scale and cleaning appointment so they are fully aware of the procedure and are not surprised once they arrive at our office.
Regular preventative dental examinations and cleanings are beneficial for detecting problems before they lead to serious complications. Your dentist will examine your teeth for decay, the health of your gums, your jaw movement, any swelling, your bite, and your medical history. The process of scaling and cleaning may vary depending on the dental clinic and dentist. It may include but is not limited to the following:
- X-rays should be taken to see if there is any deterioration behind the gum line or between the teeth.
- Look for symptoms of gum disease or inflammation in the gums and bone around the teeth.
- Examine any existing fillings, crowns, or extraction sites.
- Remove any plaque that has accumulated below and above the gum line. (When rushing, it is possible to overlook difficult-to-reach areas that must be removed using specific dental devices.)
- The dentist will polish your teeth to remove stains and plaque.
- Following the cleaning, the dentist will give oral hygiene advice such as correct brushing and recommend certain oral hygiene products.
Do you need fluoride treatment after a scale and clean?
A fluoride treatment can help to protect your teeth from decay by restoring the surface enamel of your teeth. It can also fight bacteria that may harm your teeth and gums. The dental professional may recommend fluoride treatment if they determine you are at high risk of developing cavities.
The cost of scaling
A basic dental check-up with a scale and clean treatment normally costs between $200 and $275 per session, depending on your dental needs and the severity of plaque build-up. We can discuss with you the average cost of your treatment.
Why should you not miss a scale and clean treatment?
Avoiding a scale and clean appointment means you’ll have much more buildup over time, which can result in further complications that require more invasive procedures. Untreated tartar and plaque may lead to the following:
- Early stage of gum disease or gingivitis.
- Periodontal disease or the advanced type of gum disease.
- Bad breath or halitosis
- Gum recession
- Teeth discolouration that may need teeth whitening to eliminate hard stains.
Skipping professional cleaning can put your overall health at risk.
