If you're planning a holiday to Thailand, you may well be dreaming about all the ways you'll be treating yourself: indulgent massages and spa days, incredible food, cocktails on the beach, luxury hotel stays...it all costs much less in the Land of Smiles. 

Aside from hospitality, wellness, leisure and shopping, another way you can treat yourself is by visiting a dentist who can help you keep on top of your oral health for about 75% less than back home. 

In this article, we look at the benefits of getting professional teeth cleaning on the island of Koh Samui—see it as a way of dipping your toes into the world of dental tourism!

Importance of Teeth Cleaning

The main reason to get professional teeth cleaning is to remove those stains and tartar that your toothbrush at home can't. This helps to brighten your smile while preventing gum disease. 

Preventive treatments, including oral examinations and teeth cleaning, are essential for maintaining optimum oral health.

After you arrive at your appointment, the dentist checks your teeth, gums, and mouth in order to ascertain whether you have any signs of oral problems, after which x-rays may be taken to investigate any irregularities. Early detection of tooth decay, gum problems or cracks will prevent you from unnecessary pain or having to undergo a costly procedure months or years down the line.

A dentist can also check for oral cancer and other oral health problems.
