Teeth Cleaning in Parktown: What a Proper Scale and Polish Really Includes
Looking for teeth cleaning in Parktown? Here's what a proper scale and polish covers, how long it takes, and why a 10-minute polish at home is not the same thing.
A proper teeth cleaning in Parktown is not a quick polish. It is a clinical procedure that removes hardened tartar from below the gum line, something no toothbrush, electric or otherwise, can do at home.
The four things a real clean includes
- •Ultrasonic scaling to remove tartar above and below the gum
- •Stain lifting from coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco
- •Periodontal (gum) screening to catch early gum disease
- •A take-home plan tailored to your brushing technique
How often you should book
Every six months for most adults. Every three to four months if you smoke, have gum disease history, or wear braces or aligners. Book at our Parktown rooms or have us come to your home or office anywhere in Johannesburg.
