Teeth scaling & polishing

For a dental website, the Teeth Scaling & Polishing page is often the most visited. It’s important to frame this not just as a "cleaning," but as a preventative medical treatment that keeps the foundation of the smile—the gums—healthy.

Teeth Scaling & Polishing: The Foundation of Oral Health

Even with diligent brushing and flossing at home, plaque can harden into tartar (calculus) in hard-to-reach areas. Our professional scaling and polishing service is a deep-cleansing treatment designed to remove these stubborn deposits, preventing gum disease and leaving your breath fresh and your smile bright.

What is Scaling?

Scaling is the process of removing plaque and tartar from the tooth surfaces and just below the gum line. We use specialized ultrasonic scalers that create gentle vibrations to break up hardened deposits without harming your tooth enamel.

The Finishing Touch: Polishing

Once the scaling is complete, we perform a professional polish. Using a rotating brush and a flavored prophylactic paste, we buff away surface stains caused by coffee, tea, or food. This doesn't just make your teeth feel incredibly smooth—it also makes it harder for new plaque to stick to the surface.

Why You Need It Every 6 Months

• Prevents Gum Disease: Removing tartar is the only way to stop gingivitis from progressing into periodontitis (bone loss).

• Brightens Your Smile: It removes external stains that regular toothpaste cannot reach.

• Fresh Breath: By eliminating the bacteria hiding in tartar, we address the root cause of halitosis.

• Early Detection: During your cleaning, our clinicians can spot early signs of decay or structural wear.

A Comfortable Experience

Many patients worry about sensitivity during cleaning. We prioritize your comfort by adjusting the intensity of our tools and using cooling water sprays to ensure the process is refreshing, not painful.
