Did you know that people who have gotten their teeth polished have fewer bacteria in their mouths? Dental polishing is also called tooth polishing and is a method used by our dentists to keep our teeth healthy and clean.
Dental Polishing can be used to smooth the surface of your teeth, remove stains, get rid of plaque, make your teeth look shiny and clean, and prevent gum diseases.
At SmileMint Studio, our dentists will first remove the plaque buildup on your teeth utilizing a process called scaling. After this procedure, they will inspect your teeth for cavities and other dental problems before polishing them.
Polishing your teeth removes any residual plaque and tartar in your mouth.
What are the benefits of polishing?
Bacteria is always present in your mouth. But certain strains of bad bacteria can cause dental problems like cavities. They multiply in your mouth and create a biofilm called plaque on your teeth.
It leads to gum diseases like periodontitis affecting your teeth and gums. Here the plaque gets under your gum line leading to gum, tooth, and bone loss in the long run.
Polishing removes all the plaque and tartar from your mouth and takes care of areas you cannot reach with your toothbrush. It keeps your teeth healthy, improves overall oral hygiene, and prevents cavities.
You can also get rid of food stains. Tooth polishing removes stains from tea, coffee, wine, betel leaves, and smoking.
