Dental Cleaning
The removal of soft (plaque) and hard (tartar) deposits both above and below the gum line are important for our oral health. If left untreated can cause Gingivitis and can lead to irreversible Periodontitis ( gum disease). Our dental cleaning are done by hand instruments and piezo scalers.
Dental Polishing
Dental polishing is also known as Prophylaxis, selective polishing is done to remove extrinsic stains that are left by the consumption of certain food, drinks and smoking. Selective polishing leaves the surface of teeth clean and smooth preventing bacteria to adhere to them again.
Fluoride treatment
Fluoride helps in the prevention of decay as well as sensitivity by strengthening the enamel of the teeth and aiding in the remineralization process. In office treatments can be offered as: rinse, gel, foam or varnish.
Newly approved Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is a liquid substance used to help prevent tooth cavities (or caries) from forming, growing, or spreading to other teeth.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants are a thin plastic coating placed over the chewing surface on the teeth. Sealants act as a physical barrier to oral bacteria and food. Sealants are durable and can protect children and adults.
Denture Cleaning
