Professional Scale and Polish Treatments

A clean and healthy smile starts with regular professional cleanings. At Avenue Dental, our scale and polish treatments are designed to remove plaque and tartar build-up, keeping your teeth and gums in optimal condition.

What is a Scale and Polish?

No two mouths are the same, and your cleaning schedule should reflect your unique oral health needs. Whether you visit us every 3, 6, or 12 months, our skilled dental hygienists and oral health therapists will tailor their recommendations to what’s best for your individual oral health.

A scale and polish is a professional cleaning procedure that helps maintain healthy teeth and gums by:

  • Scaling: Removing plaque and hardened tartar (calculus) from the tooth surfaces and around the gum line.This plaque and hardened tartar is unable to be removed by your toothbrush and requires a professional instrument to remove it. 
  • Polishing: Smoothing the teeth with a special paste to remove stains and give your smile a fresh, polished appearance.

This treatment not only enhances the cleanliness and appearance of your teeth but also plays a critical role in preventing gum disease and maintaining long-term oral health.

Addressing Periodontal Disease

Periodontal (gum) disease is a common condition that affects the tissues supporting your teeth. Left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, tooth loss, and other health complications. Patients with periodontal disease often require deeper cleanings known as scaling and root planing, along with more frequent maintenance visits, to manage the condition effectively.

Our team is experienced in diagnosing and treating periodontal disease and will work closely with you to develop a care plan that supports your long-term gum health.

Personalised Care for Every Mouth

At Avenue Dental, we recognize that every patient’s oral health needs are different. While a scale and polish is often recommended every six months, your frequency may vary:

  • Every 3 Months: Patients with periodontal disease or those prone to excessive tartar build-up may require deeper cleanings more frequently to manage gum health.
  • Every 6 Months: Regular cleanings are ideal for most patients with healthy teeth and gums to prevent build-up and maintain oral hygiene.
  • Every 12 Months: For individuals with exceptional oral health and minimal build-up, annual cleanings may be sufficient.

It’s important to follow the advice of your dental professional to determine the best schedule for your unique needs.
