Oral Hygiene

Dedicated to excellence. Dedicated to your smile.

Scaling, Polishing & Gum Care

Professional scaling and polishing is the most effective way to maintain healthy gums and prevent dental disease. Our hygienists remove hardened tartar, soft plaque, and surface staining from above and below the gumline using ultrasonic instruments in the areas your toothbrush simply cannot reach.

Gum disease (periodontal disease) is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults worldwide. It begins as gingivitis which is reversible inflammation of the gums and progresses to periodontitis if untreated, which permanently damages the bone supporting your teeth.

Signs of Gum Disease

  • Gums that bleed when brushing or flossing
  • Gums that are red, swollen, or tender
  • Persistent bad breath that does not resolve with brushing
  • Gums that appear to be receding (teeth look longer)
  • Loose teeth or a change in how your teeth fit together
