This is the removal of any plaque and calculus around and in between your teeth by an ultrasonic scaler tip.
Cleaning and polishing should be carried out every 6 months by our oral hygienist to ensure the prevention of gum disease and loss of bone height around your teeth in the future.
Sometimes a deep clean/root plane is needed under local anaesthetic if calculus is extending below the gum and there is visibility of bleeding and swelling gums. Our dental team will assess and advise.
We would be happy to help and advise if you have any questions or inquiries.
