Teeth Hygiene Scale and Polish - Re-Enhance Dental

Nothing beats that fresh, clean feeling in your mouth after brushing your teeth. The smooth feeling as you run your tongue over your teeth and the fresh, minty taste. However, despite how much you effort you put into keeping your mouth clean and healthy, a hygiene scale and polish is sure to give you an even cleaner and healthier mouth. Re-Enhance Dental Clinic believe this is an important part of your oral health and provide the service.

Daily activities such as, smoking, drinking and eating can cause high build ups of plaque and tartar which, left for long periods of time can become unsightly. A hygiene scale and polish will help to remove these build ups, helping you to maintain healthy teeth and gums. 

How is this process done?

After looking at your teeth and gums, several stages happen.

• Show you were plaque and tartar collects.
• Advise as to the best techniques and equipment to prevent further build up.
• Demonstrate in your own mouth what you can do to improve things.
• Provide a tailored oral hygiene plan to keep your gums in the best possible condition.
• Gently remove plaque and tartar from your teeth.
• Polish your teeth to a high shine finish.
• Apply a high fluoride paste to your dental work to keep it in the best possible condition.
• Give advice on Diet and its relation to decay in the mouth.
• Keep records of your current oral health to measure improvements and track deterioration.
• Arrange a suitable follow up appointment to help you maintain your oral hygiene.

Ultrasonic Scaling

Tickling vibrations caused by an ultrasonic instrument work to knock these pieces of tartar free from the tooth, with the debris being washed away by a cooling mist that simultaneously maintains a healthy temperature. It is an incredibly safe device which is rounded and constantly kept in motion but be sure to inform the dentist in the unlikely event that you feel the sensation is becoming uncomfortably strong. The hygiene scale and polish device is not sharp, nor is it intended to cut into the teeth but your density will adjust the pressure of the device appropriately to each patient.

Will it be painful?

Almost all patients find it is a pain free treatment. Some people may feel a tickling vibrations but neither the scraping nor the cooling will cause discomfort. These tingly sensations are extremely brief and most patients actually say that they enjoy the cleaning because of the smooth feeling of their teeth afterwards!

Brush Before Bed - Take Care of Your Teeth | Re-Enhance Dental

We are all guilty of forgetting to brush our teeth before bed now and again, or even brushing and then having a snack. Either way doing this can be really bad for your teeth and gums. Brushing before bed is said by many dentists to be just as and, in some cases, more important than brushing when you wake up.

The time that you are asleep is the time when oral bacteria thrives the most. It goes completely undisturbed for hours. As soon as you finish brushing your teeth at any time of day, a small amount of bacteria remains in the mouth and immediately begins regrowth.

Not only that but brushing twice a day considerably reduces 'morning breath' and bad breath over all. Look at it this way, if you didn't put leftovers in the fridge and left them out in the kitchen over night, they are going to smell considerably worse. However your mouth has far more active bacteria than your kitchen (I should hope!)

One of the biggest factors that should encourage you to brush at least twice a day is money. Yes, you will be spending twice as much on tooth paste, but that's nothing in comparison to how much you'll save on your dental bills. Expect far less trips to your dentist if you're taking better care of your teeth. Not brushing at night is a cavity waiting to happen.
