The Importance of Dental Cleaning and Polishing

A beautiful smile can significantly enhance your confidence and overall appearance. However, maintaining a radiant smile requires more than just regular oral care like brushing and flossing. Dental cleaning and polishing are essential and the most basic components of oral health care, ensuring that your teeth and gums remain healthy and free from disease. 

Why is Dental Cleaning and Polishing Important? Let’s break it down. 

Prevention of Gum Disease

Plaque and calculus/tartar buildup can lead to gum disease if they are allowed to accumulate over the gums and not regularly removed. Professional cleaning targets areas that are difficult to reach with a toothbrush and floss, significantly reducing the risk of development of gum diseases which can further lead to tooth loss.

Early Detection of Dental Issues

Regular visits for cleaning and polishing allow us dentists to identify potential issues early. This can prevent minor problems from developing into major dental health concerns, Addionally; it also helps you save money by treating it early . 

Maintenance of Oral Hygiene

Dental cleaning removes stains and deposits that regular brushing cannot, keeping your teeth looking their best. Polishing smoothens the tooth surfaces, making it more difficult for plaque to accumulate and it also prevents stains to an extent. 

Overall Health Benefits

Poor oral hygiene has been linked to several systemic diseases, including heart disease and diabetes. Regular dental cleaning can help maintain your overall health by reducing the risk of these conditions. 

Hence with regular dental cleaning and polishing you can prevent cavities and other dental issues, saving you from more extensive and expensive treatments in the future. Polishing also removes surface stains, giving you a brighter smile and a fresher breath. Your oral cavity will also remain free from bacteria , ensuring that your mouth stays fresh all the time. 

However, it has been observed that a lot of people hesitate to get this routine procedure done. It is mainly because of the fear of pain and sensitivity. In some cases, patients complain about increase in gap between the teeth after this procedure, which is just the exposure of the natural gap between the tooth which was previously filled with tartar. While some patients may experience temporary sensitivity in their teeth after the procedure, this usually subsides within a few days. Let me explain why this happens. The plaque and tartar can form a protective layer over the teeth, insulating and protecting them from temperature changes and acidic foods. Thus the removal of this layer can cause temporary sensitivity in the tooth which reduces as there is healing in the surrounding tissues. The exposure of root surfaces can also cause similar sensations. What needs to be emphasised here is that all these are temporary and will subside. Neglecting your oral health and not removing the tartar, which is a source of several harmful bacteria, can be quite detrimental for your oral as well as overall health. 

Although generally not painful, some people may find the procedure slightly uncomfortable. Our skilled staff at Eterna strive to make the experience as pleasant as possible.
