Regular professional cleaning will help maintain the teeth and gums.

At SC Family Dental we clean all patients’ teeth carefully and thoroughly. If you have sensitive teeth, we can still clean them painlessly. With adjustable cleaning instruments we can modify the clean to make it gentle and pain free.

Tartar forms slowly on the teeth and can harbour bacteria and displace the gum and bone from around the teeth. This can lead to recession of the gum, bad breath and tooth loss in extreme cases.

Regular check-ups and cleans are a great way to prevent the need for major dental treatment. With regular reviews at intervals determined by individual risk, you and your dentist can prevent later problems. Cavities when found early can be prevented from progressing without major intervention. Waiting until something hurts is usually too late.
