Ultrasonic Scaling Dublin, Dublin County

Scale & PolishIn other words: a Hygienic cleaningThis procedure involves removing the plaque and tartar build up on your teeth. If you are not cleaning your teeth throughout, food and plaque can be trapped between your teeth. It is recommended that you come in for regular hygiene appointments to ensure your mouth stays clean and healthy. The dentist will clean your teeth using professional equipment. The process of removing tartar is called scaling. The main aim for a scale and polish treatment is to leave your teeth clean and smooth.

FillingsA filling is a way to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape. How it’s done: Decayed tooth material removed.The area is cleaned and dried.The cavity is filled with a filling material.All fillings are done with composite filling, this is a tooth coloured filling, they are matched to the same colour as your teeth. Fillings in regard to teeth positioning: Front: The fillings is placed in teeth number 1, 2 or 3.Pre-molar: The fillings is placed in the 4th or 5th teeth.Molar: In this case the filling is placed into either teeth 6,7 or 8.

Root Canal TreatmentThe root canal treatment will repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth instead of removing it.  This treatment is needed when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected. The treatment involves removing the pulp and at the end the cavity is sealed by a filling material. If root canal treatment is not carried out in time, the tooth may need to be extracted. Root canal treatment (also called Endodontics) is needed when the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected through tooth decay or damaged by an injury to your mouth. This infection may spread through the root canal system, which could eventually lead to an abscess, causing a great deal of discomfort. If root canal treatment is not carried out, the tooth may need to be taken out. How is it carried out?Our dentists can perform root canal treatment to stop the infection from spreading and will preserve as much of your tooth as possible. Using specific techniques and advanced equipment, you will receive a local anaesthetic and the treatment overall should feel no different to having an ordinary filling placed. The aim of the treatment is to remove all infection from the root canal. The root is then cleaned and filled to prevent any further infection. A temporary filling is put in and the tooth is left to settle.The tooth is checked at a later visit and when all the infection has cleared, the tooth is permanently filled. Root canal treatment is a skilled and time-consuming procedure and most courses of treatment will involve two or more visits. To keep your mouth in tip top shape we recommend you come in for regular hygiene appointments and dental check-ups.
