not that frequent, going to see dentist as advisable. twice a year only. sometimes only once a year.

any specific dentist to recommend? affordable price of cuz =)

it is recommended to go twice a year for scaling and polishing to avoid gum disease

You have sensitive gums. You should try sensodyne toothpaste and also soft bristle brushes.

I always have slight gum bleeding at the back of the jaw when i use medium to hard bristle brushes & colgate/darlie toothpaste.

It's because the space between your teeth are already clean hence the 'gap'.

I did mine in Setia Alam for RM70 (scaling & polishing).

Whenever I feel the uneasiness when my dentist scales, i'll tell her it's not very comfortable and of course she'll ease up on the cleaning. Same goes to polishing.

Anyway, when I started to use Sensodyne, the scaling & polishing procedure was no longer that uncomfortable. FYI, I have sensitive teeth - particularly the 4 front teeth (upper & lower jaw).

Does scaling procedure involved polishing? Is it automatically included? Recently I went for scaling and I told the dentist of certain tooth with discolouration she proceeded with scaling and paid special attention to continuously scrub the stain away with prophy paste. After that the surface of that tooth appears sandy, if I uses fingernail to lightly scratch over other teeth it is smooth but the tooth that was scrubbed I can feel the smooth part now only exist at the sides where as the part that has been scrubbed has lost this layer and appears porous and rough. Has this enamel been damaged? I somewhat wonder if I should not have done the polishing but then again I wasn't even informed about what entails polishing (until I researched) and she didn't even said this was part of her scaling procedure.
