What Is Periodontal Treatment? Clean, Scale & Polish Explained | Modwena Dental

In this video, we take a closer look at periodontal treatment at Modwena Dental — something patients may commonly refer to as having “a clean” or “a scale and polish.” 🦷 Our dental hygienist, Louise Johnston, talks through periodontal (gum) treatment available at the practice, explaining what periodontal disease is, how it can affect your teeth and gums, and why maintaining healthy gums is such an important part of your overall oral health. Louise also explains the role that professional cleaning can play in managing gum health, including the removal of plaque and tartar (calculus), and why regular professional care alongside good oral hygiene at home can be important. While patients may be familiar with the terms “clean,” “scale and polish” or “hygienist appointment,” periodontal treatment can involve a more targeted approach depending on the health of your gums and your individual needs. If you experience bleeding gums, gum inflammation, bad breath, sensitivity or other concerns about your gum health, speak to our team to find out more about the care and treatment available.
