Professional dental cleaning is not just for cosmetic purposes — it's a crucial preventive step for maintaining oral and gum health. Dr. Nada Gamal Hindi emphasizes that removing tartar and polishing teeth every six months helps prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath, while also leaving your smile fresh and bright.
Tartar is a hardened layer of plaque composed of food particles, minerals, and bacteria. Over time, it accumulates on the surface of the teeth and gums. Dr. Nada Gamal Hindi explains that this layer cannot be removed with regular brushing or flossing and requires professional tools used at the dental clinic.
According to Dr. Nada Gamal Hindi, routine tartar removal has many benefits:
Prevents gum inflammation and bleeding
Protects against gum recession and tooth loss
Reduces bad breath caused by bacterial buildup
Helps maintain the teeth’s natural color
Allows for early detection of potential oral health issues
After tartar removal, Dr. Nada Gamal Hindi performs polishing to:
Smooth the tooth surface, making it harder for plaque to reattach
Remove minor stains from coffee, tea, or smoking
Restore a clean and glossy appearance to your teeth
Dr. Nada Gamal Hindi debunks the myth that professional cleaning weakens the teeth. When done correctly by a specialist, the procedure is completely safe. Any sensitivity or discomfort is mild and usually fades within hours.
Having your teeth professionally cleaned and polished every six months is a simple and essential step in long-term oral care. With her experience in cosmetic and general dentistry, Dr. Nada Gamal Hindi ensures her patients receive a comfortable, effective cleaning session with instant and lasting results.
