Calculus Removal
This case study will focus on a patient who visited Widcombe Dental due to discomfort caused by an accumulation of calculus behind her lower front teeth. She had avoided dental treatment for an extended period due to being worried about the condition of her teeth. Our team was confident that after a few routine dental hygienist appointments, they’d be able to completely remove the buildup and provide the patient with a beautiful, confident smile.
How Did Widcombe Dental Help?
Upon her first visit, the patient expressed concern about the discomfort caused by the excessive amount of calculus pressing into the soft tissues behind her lower front teeth. Our experienced dental hygienist administered a thorough cleaning procedure, carefully removing the hardened calculus to alleviate the discomfort and to improve the overall appearance of the patient’s teeth and gums. The initial treatment effectively eliminated the majority of the calculus, restoring a significant degree of comfort.
After returning after a long period of time, the patient returned to the practice after noticing another slight accumulation of calculus, but not to the same extent as her first visit. Our hygienists performed a subsequent cleaning, effectively removing the newly formed buildup. The patient was educated on the importance of regular dental check-ups and maintaining oral hygiene to prevent future accumulations.
The efforts of our experienced dental team, combined with the patient’s willingness to revisit us for further checkups, resulted in remarkable improvements. The patient’s oral health significantly improved, with her teeth restored to a state of optimal cleanliness and health. She left the practice with a big smile!
