Services: Dental Diagnosis & GP: Scaling & Polishing

Tooth Scaling

Teeth scaling may be defined as a procedure to remove calculus (tartar), soft deposits (plaque) and stains from the teeth. Calculus removal is part of each professional tooth cleaning.

Technology at BIDC

At BIDC, our dental clinics in Bangkok uses the EMS Piezon® technology making procedure for the removal of calculus (tartar) more time-effective and delivering higher patient comfort. EMS Piezon uses bursts of waterjet sprays in removing tartar relative to conventional brushing on teeth surfaces, thus patients do not feel the vibration effect.

Combined with the unique CombiTorque® by Piezon®, our dental scaling instrument offers a top grade hygiene concept like no other product. See more information on our BIDC Scaling Technologies.

Tooth Polishing

Tooth polishing removes plaque or stains remaining on the teeth after thorough dental scaling. The purpose of polishing tooth surfaces is to make these surfaces smooth which makes it more difficult for plaque and debris to accumulate on your teeth to cause decay or gum disease.

Dental polishing or prophylaxis, is only done after completing the clinical examination where there is no presence of gum diseases. Tooth polishing is not a procedure that cleans infected, diseased gum tissue and root surfaces. This is only a superficial cleaning and will not eliminate disease or get it under control. However it is a preventive procedure and is a first-line defense against catastrophic dental problems.

Tooth cleaning should be done by your dentist or a licensed professional in the dental office as the improper use of a prophy cup and abrasive paste can have harmful effects on the teeth including loss of tooth structure, removal of fluoride-rich surface enamel, thermal injury to the pulp, and trauma to soft tissues.

BIDC is ISO certified for its quality management system as well as its sterilization processes assuring patient safety and that international standards are being met.
