Scaling and polishing are dental procedures that contribute to oral health:

1. **Scaling:** This involves the removal of dental plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) from the surfaces of the teeth, especially below the gumline. Dental professionals use specialized instruments to scale away these deposits, preventing issues like gum disease and cavities.

2. **Polishing:** After scaling, polishing is performed to smooth the tooth surfaces and remove any remaining stains. This helps to create a clean and smooth surface, making it more difficult for plaque to accumulate. Polishing also enhances the appearance of the teeth by removing surface stains.

These procedures are typically part of a regular dental cleaning and are important for maintaining good oral hygiene and preventing dental problems. It is recommended to have a professional dental cleaning, including scaling and polishing, at least twice a year.

A denture is a removable dental appliance used to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissue. It is typically made of acrylic, metal, or a combination of both materials. Dentures come in two main types: complete dentures, which replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, and partial dentures, which replace only a few missing teeth and are attached to the existing natural teeth.

Dentures are designed to restore the appearance and functionality of a natural smile, allowing individuals with missing teeth to chew, speak, and maintain facial support. Regular cleaning and proper care are essential to keep dentures in good condition. Now you know. M&G Dental Services cares ❤️
