• | Remove plaque and tartar or calculus that has accumulated on the surface and along the rim of your teeth and gums. This material is full of decay causing bacteria that is harmful to your teeth and gums. |
• | Measure the depth of your gum pockets. Anything greater than 3mm is an indication of gum disease that will need to be managed. |
• | Floss your teeth to remove any missed food particles. |
• | Polish your teeth with a gritty toothpaste to remove any surface stains. |
