Teeth Scaling and Polishing at Dentessence Dental Clinic

Another 2 more days, we will celebrate our Chinese New Year. Lots of preparations need to be made. Mommy Jane had bought new clothes, set new hair and the most important is, need to cleans my teeth to keep it healthy. Mommy Jane recently went to Dentessence Dental Clinic to do the scaling and polishing.

Scaling and polishing is a procedure carried by a dentist that removes dental plaque, tartar and extrinsic stains that are present on the outer surface of our teeth. By scaling and polishing, it cleans our teeth to prevent and control the severity of gum disease.

My Dentist is Dr. Ahbirami Supramaniam. She is a friendly dentist who assured me that scaling and polishing are just a normal process which took around half an hour. She is graduated from Manipal India in 2010. Dr. Ahbirami had served government clinic and hospitals from 2010 to 2014. From 2014 to 2016, she had worked in private clinic. She own Dentessence Dental Clinic from 2016 till now. The clinic is established since 2008 but since the previous Doctor had migrated to New Zealand, Dr Ahbirami had took over the clinic.

Dr. Ahbirami  had cleaned around the gum line on the back and front of my teeth to remove any plaque and tartar. For scaling, she used ultrasonic instrument which uses vibrations to knock larger pieces of tartar loose. She then sprays a cooling mist of water to wash away debris and keep the area at a proper temperature. The device emits a humming or high pitched whistling sound just like when we put an electric toothbrush into our mouth. The instrument tips are curved and rounded and are always kept in motion around my teeth. They are not sharp since their purpose is to knock tartar loose and not to cut into the teeth.

After scaling, Dr Ahbirami had carried out polishing to remove stains and make my teeth feel smooth and shiny. Polishing is done with a special toothpaste and spun around the teeth. Using a pressurised spray of air and water with sodium hydrogen-carbonate powder to remove stains, plaque and soft debris from my mouth.

Is it painful ? Most peoples will ask me this. It is actually painless but I feel the sensations as tickling vibrations, the cooling mist of water and the feeling of pressure. It might be a bit uncomfortable but it only last for a few seconds only but the scaling and polishing had mades my teeth cleaner. Check out the photo of my teeth after it is done...
