Hygiene, Scale & Polish
Gentle plaque and tartar removal for healthy gums, fresh breath, and stain removal.
What to Expect With Hygiene, Scale & Polish
Professional dental hygiene visits are the foundation of lifelong oral wellness. Even with diligent brushing and flossing, hardened calculus (tartar) builds up in hard-to-reach crevices, harboring bacteria that trigger gum bleeding, bad breath, and bone loss. Our registered hygienists use state-of-the-art ultrasonic scalers and gentle polishing pastes to eliminate tartar, smooth root surfaces, and lift stubborn coffee, tea, and tobacco stains. Under PRSI, eligible patients pay only €15 for their subsidized annual cleaning.
Anyone seeking clean teeth, fresh breath, stain removal, or treatment for bleeding gums, gingivitis, and periodontal disease.
