Teeth Scaling & Polishing

Keeping your smile clean, fresh, and healthy. Scaling and polishing is a professional dental cleaning procedure that removes plaque, tartar (calculus), and surface stains from your teeth—especially in areas that regular brushing and flossing can't reach.

Key Benefits

🧼 Cleaner Teeth – Removes hidden buildup that brushing misses
😁 Whiter Smile – Polishing reduces stains caused by food, tea, or smoking
🌬️ Fresher Breath – Eliminates odor-causing bacteria
🦷 Healthier Gums – Prevents gum disease and bleeding gums
🕒 Early Detection – Routine cleanings help your dentist spot early signs of problems

Treatment Process

Scaling

Scaling involves gently removing hardened deposits (tartar) from above and below the gum line using ultrasonic instruments and hand scalers.

Polishing

Polishing follows scaling and smooths the tooth surfaces, removing minor stains and giving your teeth a cleaner, shinier appearance.

Recommended Frequency

Most patients benefit from scaling and polishing every 6 months, though frequency may vary based on your oral health. Our dentists will recommend the right interval for you.

Why Is It Important?

Even with good daily oral hygiene, plaque can build up over time and harden into tartar. If not removed, it can lead to:

Gum inflammation (gingivitis)
Bad breath
Tooth decay
Gum disease (periodontitis)

Scaling and polishing is a preventive measure that helps maintain healthy teeth and gums and keeps your smile looking its best.
