Tooth Polishing
This is a procedure that whitens the surface of the teeth and is also the removal of deposits like plaque and tartar from tooth surfaces, through scaling and polishing. Doing this from time to time will reduce gingivitis and slow down or prevent its progression into periodontitis. This form of treatment is also referred to as prophylaxis and should be done by a dental hygienist at a dental surgery. [3]
