Cleaning, Scale & Polish at Antalya Dental Hospital, Turkey

Cleaning, Scale & Polish: What Are They, Benefits and Cost

A scale and polish can be done by your dentist or hygienist. The first ‘scrape’ stage removes the deposits of plaque and tartar. Often an ultrasound scraper is used first to get rid of the bulk of the tartar, followed by specialised hand held instruments to scrape away any stubborn remains.

Reinforce good oral hygiene habits.

Visiting your hygienist regularly for cleaning is very important in keeping your mouth healthy. Even if you clean your teeth every day, plaque can still build up in areas that are difficult to reach with your toothbrush alone.

Your hygienist is the expert in teeth cleaning, often called a ‘scale and polish’. They are especially trained to carry out preventative oral care and they have all the tools to remove the buildup of plaque and calculus.

Improve your personal oral hygiene with scale and polish.

During your scale and polish appointment, our hygienist will look for early signs of gum disease and will discuss ways to improve your personal oral hygiene and oral habits.

At the Dental Clinic Antalya, we recommend visiting our hygienist every 6 months for teeth cleaning, scale and polish to remove plaque buildup and reinforce good oral hygiene habits. For patients wearing braces, we advise them to schedule their hygiene appointments more frequently to keep their teeth in great health during their treatment.

What products could I use to help get rid of bad breath?2022-02-06T21:08:55+03:00

Good brushing, and cleaning in between the teeth, is the most important way of controlling bad breath. In the short term you can use mouth rinses, sugar-free gum and sugar-free mints. Many of the bacteria causing bad breath live on your tongue, so brushing your tongue or using a tongue scraper will also help.

Can I stop my teeth cracking?2022-02-06T22:38:22+03:00

Not altogether, but there are some precautions you can take:

  • Wear a mouthguard: If you grind your teeth at night, have a night-guard made to protect your teeth. If you play sports, wear a custom-made mouthguard.
  • Avoid biting or chewing on hard objects.
How do I care for my crown?2022-02-06T22:58:41+03:00

It is important to keep the crown just as clean as you would your natural teeth. The crown itself cannot decay, but decay can start where the edge of the crown joins the tooth. Brush last thing at night and at least one other time during the day with a fluoride toothpaste, and clean in between your teeth with ‘interdental’ brushes or floss.

At what age should I have orthodontic treatment?2022-02-06T20:40:52+03:00

The best time is generally during childhood, but adults can have orthodontic treatment too – and more and more are doing so. Age is less important than having the right number of teeth. In children it may be necessary to wait for enough teeth to come through before starting treatment.
