Scaling and Polishing: Essential for Healthy Teeth and Gums
Scaling and polishing is a common dental procedure designed to improve oral hygiene by removing plaque, tartar, and stains that regular brushing and flossing cannot eliminate. This treatment helps prevent infections like gingivitis and periodontitis, promoting long-term dental health.
What is Scaling?
Scaling involves using ultrasonic instruments to remove hardened deposits (tartar) from the surfaces of your teeth and below the gum line. For deeper cleaning under the gums, known as subgingival scaling, local anesthesia may be applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.
Tooth-Colored Fillings at Ridhi Dentistry: Natural, Durable, and Beautiful
At Ridhi Dentistry, we understand how important your smile is to you. That’s why we offer tooth-colored fillings — a safe, effective, and aesthetically pleasing way to treat cavities and minor tooth damage without compromising the natural look of your teeth.
What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?
Tooth-colored fillings, also known as composite fillings, are made from a durable resin that closely matches the shade of your natural teeth. Unlike traditional metal fillings, these blend seamlessly with your smile, making repairs virtually invisible.
Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings
- Natural appearance that matches your teeth
- Durable and long-lasting
- Bonds directly to tooth structure, helping to strengthen your tooth
- Mercury-free and biocompatible
- Minimally invasive procedure, preserving more of your natural tooth

At Ridhi Dentistry, we offer state-of-the-art laser therapy to treat gum disease effectively and comfortably. Gum disease, if left untreated, can lead to serious dental issues like tooth loss. Our laser treatment targets infection, promotes healing, and helps restore your gum health with minimal discomfort.
What is Laser Gum Disease Treatment?
Laser gum therapy uses focused light energy to remove infected tissue and bacteria from the gums. This minimally invasive procedure reduces inflammation, eliminates harmful bacteria, and encourages tissue regeneration without the need for traditional surgical tools.
Root Canal Treatment at Ridhi Dentistry
Comfortable, Effective and Tooth-Saving Care
At Ridhi Dentistry, we understand how painful and stressful a tooth infection can be. If you're suffering from persistent toothache, sensitivity, or swelling, you may need Root Canal Treatment—a safe and effective way to save your natural tooth and relieve pain without extraction.
Our expert team uses modern techniques and advanced technology to provide pain-free, precise root canal procedures—restoring both your oral health and peace of mind.
What Is a Root Canal?
Each tooth has a central space called the pulp chamber, filled with soft tissue (pulp) that includes nerves and blood vessels. When this area becomes infected—due to deep decay, trauma, or repeated dental work—a root canal is often the best solution.
During the procedure:
- The infected pulp is removed
- The canals are cleaned and disinfected
- The space is filled and sealed to prevent future infection
- A crown may be placed to restore strength and appearance
Wisdom Tooth Removal at Ridhi Dentistry
Safe, Gentle, and Expert Care for Impacted or Painful Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. In many cases, they can cause pain, crowding, or infection due to lack of space in the mouth. At Ridhi Dentistry, we offer safe, precise, and minimally invasive wisdom tooth removal to relieve discomfort and protect your long-term oral health.
Whether you need a simple extraction or a more complex surgical procedure, our experienced dental team is here to make the process as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
What Are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to develop, and often, there isn’t enough room in the jaw for them to grow properly. This can lead to:
- Impaction (when the tooth is trapped under the gum or bone)
- Crowding of nearby teeth
- Pain or swelling
- Infections or gum issues
- Tooth decay in nearby teeth
If left untreated, impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth can damage adjacent teeth and lead to more serious oral health issues.
Dental Sealants at Ridhi Dentistry
Simple, Painless, and Powerful Protection for Your Teeth
At Ridhi Dentistry, we believe that prevention is better than cure, and dental sealants are a perfect example. This quick and painless treatment offers long-lasting protection against cavities, especially for children and teens. Adults can benefit as well.
If you're looking for an easy way to prevent tooth decay and maintain a healthy smile, dental sealants are a smart choice.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Dental sealants are thin, protective coatings made from a safe resin material that are applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars). These areas are the most vulnerable to cavities because of their deep grooves, where food and bacteria often get trapped. The sealant forms a barrier that keeps out plaque and acids, significantly reducing the risk of tooth decay.
Early Detection. Lifesaving Care.
At Ridhi Dentistry, your health and well-being are our top priorities. Oral cancer, while serious, is highly treatable when detected early. That’s why we offer thorough, painless oral cancer screenings as part of your routine dental visits, helping catch potential problems before they develop into something more serious.
What Is Oral Cancer Screening?
Oral cancer screening is a quick, non-invasive examination designed to identify early signs of oral cancer or precancerous conditions. Our experienced dental team carefully inspects the following areas:
- Lips, cheeks, tongue, and gums
- Roof and floor of the mouth
- Throat and tonsils
- Jaw and lymph nodes in the neck
Using the latest diagnostic techniques, we ensure a comprehensive evaluation with zero discomfort.
Relieve Jaw Pain and Restore Comfortable Function
If you’re experiencing jaw pain, headaches, difficulty chewing, or clicking and popping sounds near your ears, you may be suffering from Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorder. At Ridhi Dentistry, we provide expert diagnosis and personalized TMJ treatments designed to relieve pain and improve jaw function, helping you return to a comfortable, pain-free life.
What Is TMJ Disorder?
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull, allowing you to open and close your mouth smoothly. TMJ disorders occur when this joint or the surrounding muscles become inflamed, injured, or misaligned, causing pain and restricted movement.
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Clicking, popping, or grating sounds
- Difficulty opening or closing your mouth
- Headaches or earaches
- Facial pain or stiffness

Pulpectomy is one of the most common and effective treatments for primary (baby) teeth that have been severely damaged by decay or trauma. This procedure involves removing the infected or inflamed pulp tissue—the soft centre of the tooth containing nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue—to relieve pain and prevent further dental problems.
When Should Your Child Get a Pulpectomy?
A pulpectomy is recommended when a baby tooth has extensive decay or damage affecting the pulp, especially if your child is experiencing:
- Severe tooth pain that doesn’t improve with painkillers
- Swelling or redness in the gums around the tooth
- Sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks
- Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
Early treatment can save the tooth and maintain proper oral development.
