Most problems start quietly

Decay and gum disease rarely hurt in the early stages, when they are simplest to treat. A check-up and cleaning every six months finds them early, and clean teeth above and below the gum line stay healthy for longer.

What is check-up and cleaning?

The dentist checks each tooth for decay, cracks and worn fillings, measures the gums for signs of disease, and looks over the tongue, cheeks and palate. An X-ray is taken only when something cannot be seen directly.

Scaling removes the hard tartar that brushing cannot shift, from above and just below the gum line. Polishing then takes off surface stains from tea, coffee and tobacco and leaves the teeth smooth, so new plaque has less to hold on to.

Why treat it

Medical reasons

Tartar keeps the gums inflamed. Left alone, gum disease loosens teeth, and it is linked with poorer control of diabetes.

Confidence and comfort

Fresher breath and a cleaner, brighter smile the same day.

The process

From assessment to results

Your medical history and any medicines are noted, then every tooth and the gums are examined. You are shown what was found.

Examination

Cleaning

About thirty to forty-five minutes:

Scaling to remove tartar above and below the gum line
Polishing to lift surface stains
A rinse, and advice on brushing and flossing for your teeth

Aftercare

Gums may feel tender and bleed slightly for a day. Brush gently and keep going: the bleeding stops as the gums heal.

Your plan

If anything needs treatment, you receive a written plan with prices. Otherwise, the next check-up is in six months.

Who treats you

Your dentist

Dental treatment is carried out by the clinic’s dental team at Kisasa Plaza. The dentist examines you before anything is done and explains each step as it happens.

Questions

Patients ask

Ask your own question on WhatsApp

How often should I have a check-up?

Every six months for most adults. People with gum disease or diabetes may be asked to come every three to four months.

Does scaling damage the enamel?

No. Scaling removes tartar, which sits on the tooth. The enamel underneath is left as it was.

My gums bleed when I brush. Should I stop?

No, that is a sign of inflamed gums. Keep brushing gently and book a cleaning: the bleeding usually settles within two weeks of it.

Do you see children?

Yes. A first visit by the first birthday, or when the first teeth appear, is a good start.
