Professional Dental Hygiene & Cleaning

Ambicare's dental hygienists provide professional teeth cleaning sessions covering supra- and subgingival scaling to remove tartar deposits, airflow polishing to eliminate surface staining, and personalised oral hygiene instruction. Regular hygiene appointments every 6 to 12 months maintain gum health, prevent cavities, and keep teeth looking their best between dentist check-ups.

Professional dental hygiene at Ambicare is performed by qualified dental hygienists and goes significantly beyond what standard brushing and flossing at home can achieve. Even with excellent home care, mineralised deposits (tartar) build up on tooth surfaces and below the gum line over time — these can only be removed with professional instruments. **Scaling:** Ultrasonic and hand instruments are used to remove supragingival (above gum line) and subgingival (below gum line) calculus deposits. Subgingival scaling is particularly important for preventing periodontal disease — chronic inflammation of the supporting structures around teeth that, if untreated, leads to bone loss and eventual tooth loss. **Airflow polishing:** A controlled jet of fine powder and water removes surface staining from coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco — restoring natural tooth colour without bleaching. **Oral hygiene instruction:** The hygienist reviews your brushing technique, interdental cleaning (floss, interdental brushes), and recommends products appropriate to your specific gum and enamel condition. **Recommended frequency:** Every 6 months for standard maintenance; every 3 to 4 months for patients with gum disease history, implants, or orthodontic appliances.
