SCALING AND POLISHING
Scaling and polishing are essential dental procedures aimed at maintaining oral health and preventing gum disease by removing the biofilm and calculus. Gingivitis, a common issue, can escalate into severe periodontitis, potentially leading to tooth loss if left untreated.
Air Polishing is a technique that combines a specially formulated polishing powder, water, and air at high speed. It is particularly beneficial for patients who smoke or frequently consume tea and coffee, as it effectively removes stains and debris.
When the gum bleeds, it is a warning sign of gum inflammation- gingivitis. This is caused by the accumulation of plaque/ tartar at gumline. Scaling and polishing helps to remove the dirt and improve the problems.

A treatment that is used to remove the cavity/ decayed tooth structure and restore the function, integrity and aesthetic of the missing tooth structure.There are few types of fillings (Tooth-coloured), for examples: Composite, Glass-ionomer Cement (GIC) (fluoride releasing properties).
Fillings are used to repair a hole in a tooth caused by decay. The deeper the hole, the closer it will be to the pulp which supplies blood and nerve sensation to the tooth.
