3. GENERAL DENTISTRY In a full dental exam, which is a frequent dental procedure, the patient’s oral health is reviewed to identify any problems or potential problems which may arise in the future. This helps avoid issues such as tooth decay or dental cancer by enabling the dentist to address any worries at the earliest opportunity. Doing so can save your time, money, and the need for more intrusive treatment. Common practices that are involved during a full exam include:

4. SCALE, CLEAN, AND POLISH e purpose of preventing gum disease and other issues related to oral health, dental scaling and cleanliness are crucial. Dental scaling involves thoroughly cleaning the teeth and removing plaque that has built up above and below the gum line. During this process, deposits on the teeth are loosened and removed using a few specialised dental tools to stop the spread of plaque and tartar. This is complemented with a therapeutic wash and flush to remove the plaque and food particles hidden in the spaces between your teeth. Following the removal of the plaque, the dentist will use a special tool to polish your teeth to prevent the formation of new A deep clean is a treatment aimed at cleaning in between the teeth and gums and roots to remove the buildup of plaque on your teeth and reduce gum inflammation. Unlike regular cleans whereby the dentist washes the front, back and sides of the teeth, a deep clean extends to the roots. In return, this service is highly beneficial to maintain overall oral health as it assists in stopping gum disease, fights bad breath, and reduces the risk of tooth loss and root rot.

5. OUR PROJECT Periodontitis, also known as gum disease, is a dangerous gum infection that harms soft tissue and, if left untreated, can kill the bone that supports your teeth and result in tooth loss or tooth loosening. Factors that increase the risk of periodontitis include gingivitis, poor oral health, smoking, obesity, or genetics. Symptoms of the disease include gums that bleed when you brush or floss your teeth, bad breath, plaque buildup, tooth loss, and red or swollen gums. Periodontal Care is significant to managing and reducing the risk of periodontitis. Good oral hygiene practices and periodontal cleanings are essential in maintaining dental health and keeping periodontal disease under control. Page | 06

6. TOOTH COLOURED FILLING One of the most common types of routine care is to treat cavities in fillings. Tooth coloured fillings are dental restorations designed to be natural as they blend well with the teeth as they cover fillings which are darker and more easily noticeable. Tooth coloured fillings chemically bond to the teeth and close off a cavity after the decayed part of the tooth has been removed to help repair chipped or broken teeth. During the process, the dentist numbs the tooth and surrounding areas, removes any decay, and cleans the cavity to prepare it for the filling. This procedure has many advantages. It is quick and painless, aesthetically pleasing as the fillings can easily blend with surrounding teeth making them unnoticeable, they are long lasting, and assist in maintaining the natural tooth structure.
