At Medax Dental and Implant Centre, we believe the best dental treatment is prevention. Our Preventive Dentistry services—including scaling, polishing, and oral prophylaxis—are designed to keep your teeth and gums healthy, fresh, and free of disease. With regular professional care, you can avoid cavities, gum problems, and more serious dental issues before they even start.
Our friendly team uses advanced, pain-free techniques in a calm and supportive environment, making every visit a comfortable experience for patients of all ages.
Preventive dentistry refers to dental care practices aimed at maintaining oral health and preventing dental issues before they occur. At Medax, we focus on three core services under this category:
Scaling: Removal of plaque and hardened tartar (calculus) from teeth surfaces, especially along the gumline.
Polishing: Smoothing and shining your teeth after scaling to remove stains and leave your smile feeling fresh and clean.
Oral Prophylaxis: A comprehensive dental cleaning and preventive check-up that includes both scaling and polishing, along with an oral health assessment.
These treatments are crucial for preventing gum disease, tooth decay, bad breath, and maintaining the health of dental restorations like crowns and implants.
Even if you brush and floss regularly, some signs indicate it’s time for professional cleaning:
Yellow or brown buildup near the gums
Bleeding while brushing or flossing
Bad breath that won’t go away
Gums that feel swollen, tender, or pull away from the teeth
A sticky or fuzzy feeling on the teeth
Smoking or regular consumption of tea, coffee, or colored foods
It’s been more than 6 months since your last dental cleaning
Preventive care isn’t just for those with symptoms—it’s for everyone. A cleaning every 6 months is recommended to keep your mouth in top shape.
We take pride in offering pain-free preventive care using the latest tools and technology:
Initial Oral Examination
Our dental team examines your teeth and gums using digital imaging (if needed) to assess your oral hygiene and identify areas of concern.
Scaling
Using an ultrasonic scaler, we gently remove plaque and tartar deposits from the teeth and under the gumline. This device uses vibrations and a water spray to loosen and wash away buildup without harming your enamel.
Polishing
A soft, rotating brush and special polishing paste are used to smooth and shine the teeth, removing surface stains and giving you a clean, glossy finish.
Fluoride Application (if required)
In some cases, we may apply a fluoride gel or varnish to strengthen enamel and help prevent cavities.
Aftercare Advice
We’ll share simple, personalized oral hygiene tips and recommend the best brushing and flossing techniques to maintain your results at home.
The entire procedure usually takes 30–45 minutes and involves no pain or downtime—just a fresher, healthier smile.
