General Treatments

General treatments are the cornerstone of great oral health. They focus on preventing problems and addressing common issues to keep your smile healthy and strong. These routine procedures are your first line of defense against decay, gum disease, and other dental concerns. At Fadason Dental, we perform these essential treatments with a gentle touch, ensuring your comfort is our top priority.

Who is this suitable for?

Everyone! Regular general treatments are essential for all ages. You should see us for:

  • Routine check-ups (every 6 months).
  • If you have a toothache or sensitivity.
  • If you notice cavities (dark spots on your teeth).
  • If your gums are bleeding or swollen.
  • If a tooth is badly damaged and needs to be removed.

Scaling

This is a professional deep cleaning to remove hardened plaque (tartar) and surface stains from your teeth, especially along the gumline. It's crucial for preventing gum disease.

Filling

When a tooth has a cavity, we remove the decayed portion and "fill" the space with a durable, tooth-coloured material (composite resin). This stops the decay and restores the tooth's strength.

Extraction

Sometimes, a tooth is too damaged or decayed to be saved. An extraction is the process of safely and gently removing that tooth to prevent further infection and relieve pain.

Does scaling hurt?

For most people, scaling is a comfortable procedure. If you have sensitive gums, you might feel some slight scraping, but it shouldn't be painful. We always ensure you're at ease.
