COMPOSITE TOOTH FILLINGS (PASTA)

Composite resins, or tooth-colored fillings, provide good durability and resistance to fracture in small- to mid-size fillings that need to withstand moderate pressure from the constant stress of chewing. They can be used on either front or back teeth. They are a good choice for people who prefer that their fillings look more natural.

ORAL PROPHYLAXIS (CLEANING)

A dental prophylaxis is a cleaning procedure performed to thoroughly clean the teeth. Prophylaxis is an important dental treatment for halting the progression of periodontal disease and gingivitis.

Here are some of the benefits of prophylaxis:

Tartar removal – Tartar (calculus) and plaque buildup, both above and below the gum line, can cause serious periodontal problems if left untreated. Even using the best brushing and flossing homecare techniques, it can be impossible to remove debris, bacteria and deposits from gum pockets.

Aesthetics – It’s hard to feel confident about a smile marred by yellowing, stained teeth. Prophylaxis can rid the teeth of unsightly stains and return the smile to its former glory.

Fresher breath – Periodontal disease is often signified by persistent bad breath (halitosis). Bad breath is generally caused by a combination of rotting food particles and bacteria.

ORAL PROPHYLAXIS CAN BE DONE IN COMBINATION OF:

• STAIN REMOVAL (stains caused by nicotine or smoke, coffee, tea, or any type of acidic food

• FLUORIDE APPLICATION(for healthy adults with non- carious teeth)

• 5-IN-1 (in combination with tooth mousse, fluoride, and tongue scraping
