Dental hygiene services for a healthy smile!
What can I do at home to keep my smile healthy?
An oral care routine is the foundation for a healthy mouth. To achieve this, our team at Precision Dental Clinic - Dubai suggests the following daily practices:
- Brush after every meal or at least twice each day using a soft-bristled toothbrush and quality fluoride toothpaste.
- Use floss or an alternate interdental cleaner daily to eliminate debris or plaque in those hard-to-reach places and from in between the teeth.
- Consider using an antibacterial mouthwash.
- Keep a balanced diet and stay away from sugar-filled snacks and drinks. If you are indulging, brush about 30 minutes after.
What might I expect during my dental hygiene services appointment at Precision Dental Clinic - Dubai?
During your routine visits, our focus is to clean your teeth of plaque and calculus that may have accumulated since your last visit. Our dental hygienist gently scales your teeth to remove build-up, further polishing them to not only enhance their shine but also to reduce the surface area for bacteria and plaque adherence. We will also answer any queries you may have about your oral health or best care practices. This entire process lasts about 30-35 minutes, and you can resume your day as you normally would.
Maintaining Oral Health – Precision Dental Clinic - Dubai
Maintaining your oral health – Brush, floss, avoiding sugary and acidic drinks and visit your dentist regularly. Dr Sharon Anand – Precision Dental Clinic - Dubai
The bacteria in your mouth are not generally harmful. But when the food you eat stays in your mouth, the bacteria start working on it to produce acids. And this acid in turn causes tooth decay or cavity as we know it. While the decay or cavity is on enamel which is the outer part of the tooth, you won’t have any pain or sensitivity. But when it starts proceeding and enter the second part of the or the inner part of the tooth called the dentin you will end up having pain or sensitivity. But hey, you can avoid cavities by number one, brushing twice in a day with a fluoridated toothpaste, number two is flossing once a day, number three would be avoiding sugary and acidic food and drinks number four, visit you dentist regularly and remember hashtag brush floss rinse repeat.
Do I need X-rays during my routine appointments?
Yes, dental X-rays are considered an essential part of routine dental hygiene appointments at Precision Dental Clinic - Dubai. They allow us to see any potential issues that may not be visible during a regular check-up, such as cavities between teeth or under the gum line. X-rays also help us diagnose and monitor conditions like impacted teeth or bone loss. Our state-of-the-art digital X-ray technology minimizes radiation exposure and provides high-quality images for accurate diagnoses. We typically take X-rays once a year or as needed based on individual patient needs. Your comfort and safety are our top priorities during this process.

Progress of Tooth Decay- Precision Dental Clinic - Dubai
Periodontist and Specialist in dental implants, Dr. Shweta Prabhu discusses the progress of tooth decay and the symptoms you may face at each stage.
Hi everybody. Today I want to take you through the steps of decay or the progress of tooth decay. It becomes very important for us to understand because you know what appropriate steps you can take. All of us know that decay or caries as we call it is caused by plaque and the bacteria that live in the plaque. Now when these bacteria have got enough time to release acid and demineralize your tooth, remove the minerals from your tooth, it always moves in. First, it will infect or enter through the enamel but it demineralizes that. Now at this stage what you will see is probably some white opaque spots or maybe a darkening of the tooth structure like really dark groves. At this stage you will probably not be feeling any sensitivity or any symptoms. But a visit to your dentist at this time could help you evaluate early decay and take care of it. Next step once the enamel has gone, then we go into the dentin. That is the caries will go into the dentin. And once it has entered the dentin, very often you might have some amount of sensitivity especially when you eat sweet foods, some sensitivity to cold. All of this will start showing up on and off. The last and the most severe state is when the decay has reached the pulp or the living tissue of the tooth. Now at this stage some people still might not have pain but a lot of people will have pain sometimes accompanied with swelling in the gums or swelling on the face if it has acted up very severely or depending on your immunity levels. Once that happens then the root canal will have to be done to save that tooth, whereas when the decay is restricted to the enamel or the dentin levels, a good filling, a sound filling will take care of that tooth. So, to prevent and to avoid these problems, remember to brush floss rinse repeat.
