Tooth Check-up & Clean Services

A good oral hygiene routine and a regular dental check-up and clean are both essential for maintaining a healthy smile. To remove plaque build-up and calculus which is hard calcified plaque, Minto Family Dental recommends a scale and polish every 6 months. This professional cleaning is an efficient way to remove tartar, protect your enamel and keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Step 1: Check - your dental practitioners will carefully examine your teeth checking for any signs of decay or disease. X-rays may be required to examine your teeth in more detail.

Step 2: Scale - this step involves removing plaque and tartar build-up. Plaque and calculus can both cause damage to your teeth, so it is important to clean them regularly.

Step 3: Polish & fluoride - your dental professional will remove any superficial stains and clean any residual build-up and finish off with a fluoride treatment to help strengthen your teeth so you can walk out of your appointment with a smooth and sparkly smile.
