Enjoy a Whiter Smile with a Scale and Clean

Tartar cannot go away with normal brushing. But you no longer have to put up with grime, tartar, or yellow teeth. Mary River Dental offers scale and clean in Maryborough to address any built-up plaque or tartar.

Remove plaque and tartar.

Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth, and tartar is hardened plaque. Removing them can help improve your teeth's appearance and make them look brighter and whiter.

Prevent tooth decay.

If plaque and tartar are not removed, they can damage the tooth enamel and lead to cavities. A scale and clean is an important step in preventing tooth decay and maintaining oral health.

Prevent gum disease.

Gum disease is caused by the build-up of plaque on teeth, which leads to inflammation and irritation of the gums. Scale and clean helps to remove plaque from teeth, preventing it from causing damage to the gums.

Get fresher breath.

Bacteria colonies grow in our mouths whenever we eat or drink. A scale and clean can help to remove any odour-producing bacteria from your mouth, helping you address chronic bad breath.
