Teeth Cleaning

Great dental health starts with professional teeth cleaning and preventive care. At Dental on Blackwood, we recommend regular dental check-ups and cleanings every 6 months to keep your smile healthy and avoid costly treatments later.

Why Regular Teeth Cleaning Matters

Even with proper brushing and flossing, plaque hardens into tartar (calculus), which can only be removed by a dental professional. Our gentle yet thorough cleanings help:
✔ Remove stubborn plaque and tartar buildup
✔ Prevent gum disease (gingivitis & periodontitis)
✔ Brighten your smile by eliminating surface stains
✔ Freshen breath by reducing bacteria

What to Expect During Your Cleaning

  1. Comprehensive Exam – We check for cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues.
  2. Professional Scaling – Specialised tools remove tartar above and below the gum line.
  3. Polishing – Smooths tooth surfaces and removes stains for a fresher feel.
  4. Fluoride Treatment – Strengthens enamel to fight decay.

The Benefits of Fluoride After Cleaning

After your cleaning, we apply a protective fluoride treatment to:
✓ Re-mineralize weak spots on teeth
✓ Reduce sensitivity
✓ Protect against cavities

Dental Cleaning and Prevention
Plaque builds up on the tooth and could lead to tooth decay.

Things you can do at home

Brush twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste to reduce plaque which causes gum diseases and cavities.

Soft toothbrushes are excellent for cleaning your teeth without putting too much pressure on your enamel and gums. Electric toothbrushes are excellent at removing plaque.

Flossing helps to remove all the food and plaque trapped in-between teeth and gums which is important to prevent gum diseases.

After eating something sugary or acidic, rinse with water to make sure that it doesn’t linger.

Sugary foods encourage the growth of plaque, while acidic drinks like soda or juice wear down your enamel faster.

Drinks like coffee, tea and red wine can stain your teeth.

Smoking and chewing tabacco will stain your teeth as well as cause many other oral diseases.
