Hygiene Package (Scaling, Sandblasting & Polish)

A professional cleaning that combines ultrasonic scaling to remove hardened tartar with air-flow sandblasting to lift stains and soft plaque, finished with a polish. Regular professional hygiene helps keep gums healthy and is a sensible first step before whitening or cosmetic work. At SmileOn the package bundles scaling and sandblasting together at a lower combined price, using an AquaCare twin sandblaster for the stain-removal stage.

Professional dental hygiene removes the hardened tartar (calculus) and stained plaque that build up over time and cannot be cleaned away by brushing alone. Allowing these deposits to remain is a leading cause of gum inflammation, bleeding gums and, over time, gum disease, so a regular professional clean is one of the simplest ways to protect the long-term health of the teeth and gums. At SmileOn Dental Studio the hygiene package combines two complementary steps: ultrasonic scaling, which uses fine vibrations to break tartar away from the tooth and just below the gum line, and air-flow sandblasting with the clinic's AquaCare twin device, which uses a jet of fine powder and water to lift surface stains from coffee, tea, wine or tobacco and clean areas a brush misses. The appointment usually finishes with polishing for a smooth, clean surface that resists plaque, and the hygienist can advise on brushing, interdental cleaning and any areas needing extra attention at home. Combining scaling and sandblasting in one package costs less than booking each separately. A professional clean also makes an ideal precursor to teeth whitening or cosmetic treatment, as it leaves the natural tooth surface clean and even. Professional hygiene suits virtually all adults as part of routine dental care, typically every six to twelve months, and more frequently for those prone to tartar or gum problems. Where signs of gum disease are found, the dentist or hygienist will explain whether additional periodontal treatment is needed.
