Scale and Clean

A healthy and bright smile doesn’t just indicate good oral health but it also boosts your child’s confidence. Even for children or especially for children, regular dental cleanings lay the foundation for healthy teeth, gums, mouth, and overall oral health. We at Goldfield’s Family Dental Cleaning understand how regular proper scale and clean sessions can do wonders for your child’s oral health and hygiene.

What is Scaling?

Let’s start by understanding what scaling is. It is a professional dental cleanup technique that allows you to get rid of tartar, plaque, and bacteria from the mouth. Plaque which is a sticky substance made of food particles and bacteria found sticking to the teeth surfaces can turn into tartar and eventually cause cavities if not cleaned on time. Once the tartar is there, even regular brushing twice a day cannot get it out, hence, the only way out is expert scale and clean sessions.

Why Is Scaling Important for Children?

Well, you cannot expect children to be so mindful in maintaining their oral health as adults, and hence scaling can help by –

  • Removal of tartar that can eventually result in gum infections, inflammation, and other diseases
  • Ensuring oral health including gum, teeth, and roots at their optimal state
  • Elimination of any odor or bad breath by getting rid of bacteria
How is Scaling Done?

Some manual scaling tools are used generally for removing plaque and tartar from every single tooth and the nooks and corners of the mouth, offering precise cleaning of the mouth and around the gum line.

The mechanism that works for these instruments is high-frequency vibrations, These are used to break down the chunks of tartar and eventually disintegrate them. Along with the scaling, there is a water spray that goes around to wash away the dirt and ensure complete mouth cleanup.

Air and water with high pressure and some fine powder combined are used here for effective oral cleanup and teeth polishing. Not only does this system allow plaque removal but also helps get rid of stubborn teeth stains

What Does The Scaling Process Include?

Our Dentists at Goldfields Family Dental Clinic make sure to make your child’s scaling experience a comfortable and gentle one.

  • The first step is the assessment of the teeth and gum condition of your children to check for any dental concerns or buildup
  • Next, the above-mentioned types of instruments as per necessity are used to carefully remove tartar from the gum line and teeth
  • Then the teeth surfaces are well-polished to make them smooth and remove any stains
  • For further strengthening of your child’s teeth, fluoride is applied on their surfaces
  • Finally, the dentists will offer personalized advice and rips including a modified bass toothbrushing technique using an electric toothbrush for a better and more fun toothbrushing experience, encourage flossing, and other oral hygiene practices
When Should Your Child Get Scaling Done?

Being professionals for years, we recommended getting scaling procedures done bi-annually for your child starting from age 3. The sooner you start, the lesser risks of gum issues or cavities.
