Calculus Removal
When calculus, also known as tartar, accumulates on your teeth, it requires removal through a process called debridement. Our ultrasonic device utilizes high-frequency vibrations combined with water to effectively eliminate these deposits.
There are two types of dental calculus. Supragingival calculus forms above the gumline, appearing as yellow or tan deposits visible on the tooth's surface. Subgingival calculus, on the other hand, forms below the gumline, specifically on the tooth root within the crevice known as the sulcus. Due to its location, subgingival calculus is not visible to the naked eye and is typically brown or black in color.

Periodontal Treatment
If gingivitis is left untreated in a susceptible person, it can progress to periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the gums and bone supporting the teeth.
As plaque and harmful bacteria accumulate below the gumline, the body's immune response can lead to progressive breakdown of the tissues and bone surrounding the teeth. This creates deeper spaces, known as periodontal pockets, where bacteria can become increasingly difficult to remove with normal brushing and interdental cleaning. Without treatment, periodontitis can continue to progress and, in advanced cases, teeth may become loose or eventually be lost.
At Mint Dental Hygiene, periodontal treatment is based on the principles of Minimally Invasive Non-Surgical Therapy (MINST).
Rather than aggressively scraping or unnecessarily removing healthy root surface, treatment focuses on precise and careful disruption of the bacterial biofilm and removal of deposits from beneath the gumline, while minimising trauma to the surrounding gum tissues.
Using fine ultrasonic instrumentation and targeted techniques, we carefully access periodontal pockets and root surfaces, treating the areas that require attention while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
The aim is to control the disease and create the best possible environment for your body's natural healing response. As inflammation reduces, the gums may become firmer and healthier, periodontal pockets can reduce in depth, and the tissues around the teeth can become easier for you to maintain at home.
Successful periodontal treatment is a partnership. Daily plaque control is just as important as the treatment carried out in the clinic, so we will show you exactly how to clean the areas that need additional attention and tailor your home-care routine to your individual needs.
The goal is simple: maximum disease control with minimum unnecessary trauma, helping you keep your natural teeth healthy and functional for as long as possible.
