Regular dental check-ups and scaling every 6 months not only help maintain a bright smile but also protect you from serious oral health issues. At Far East Dental Clinic, we are committed to providing comprehensive examination and care services to prevent and treat dental diseases early.
1. Why is it necessary to get your teeth scaled every 6 months?
Even if you take careful care of your oral hygiene at home, bacteria and plaque can still exist in hard-to-clean areas. This is why you should visit your dentist for teeth scaling every 6 months to:
Prevent oral diseases:
- Gingivitis and periodontitis: Tartar is an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. These bacteria release toxins that cause gum inflammation, leading to redness and bleeding gums. If left untreated, gingivitis progresses to periodontitis, which destroys the supporting tissues of the teeth, causing them to loosen and eventually fall out. Regular teeth scaling removes the favorable environment for bacteria to grow, helping to effectively prevent and control these diseases.
- Tooth decay: The surface of tartar is porous, creating conditions for bacteria to accumulate and ferment sugars in food, producing acids that erode tooth enamel and cause cavities. Removing tartar helps reduce the risk of tooth decay.
Eliminate bad breath:
Tartar contains bacteria and decomposing food particles, causing unpleasant odors. Teeth scaling helps remove the source of bad breath, bringing fresher breath and more confidence in communication.
Maintain aesthetics:
Tartar is often yellow or brown and adheres to the teeth, causing aesthetic loss. Teeth scaling helps keep teeth clean and shiny.
Protect the health of teeth and gums:
Tartar not only affects teeth but also irritates the gums, causing gum recession, exposed tooth roots, and increased tooth sensitivity. Regular teeth scaling helps maintain healthy gums that adhere firmly to the tooth roots.
Detect oral problems early:
During the teeth scaling process, the dentist can detect early signs of other abnormalities in the oral cavity such as tooth decay, tooth wear, and gum problems, thereby taking timely intervention measures.
2. Benefits of getting your teeth scaled every 6 months
Tartar removal (Scaling):
Tartar removal helps eliminate plaque, tartar, and bacterial toxins that have accumulated for a long time, especially in the areas below the gum line. This process not only prevents gum disease but also improves bad breath and helps strengthen the gums. If signs of gingivitis are detected, the dentist will recommend specialized treatments such as root planing to thoroughly address the issue.
Teeth polishing:
Teeth polishing helps remove yellow stains caused by drinks such as coffee, tea, or wine. With advanced technology like Prophyjet, dentists can clean stubborn plaque, bringing back bright and smooth teeth.
Fluoride therapy:
Fluoride is an essential mineral that helps strengthen tooth enamel and prevent tooth decay. Regular fluoride treatment every 6 months at Far East Dental Clinic helps:
Protect tooth enamel from the effects of acids from food and bacteria.
Reverse small damage caused by early-stage tooth decay.
We use high-quality fluoride products in the form of gels, creams, or varnishes to optimize the effectiveness of oral protection.
