Scaling & Polishing

Achieving a Clean, Healthy Smile

Scaling and polishing are essential services for maintaining optimal oral hygiene. Over time, plaque and tartar build-up on your teeth, especially in hard-to-reach areas. Professional scaling and polishing removes this build-up, helping to prevent gum disease, cavities, and bad breath while keeping your teeth smooth and bright.

What is Scaling and Polishing?

  • Scaling: This procedure involves the removal of tartar and plaque from the surfaces of your teeth, both above and below the gumline.
  • Polishing: After scaling, the polishing process smooths the surfaces of your teeth, removing any remaining plaque and giving your teeth a shiny finish.

Benefits of Scaling and Polishing

  • Prevents Gum Disease: Regular cleaning prevents the formation of gingivitis and periodontitis.
  • Whiter Teeth: Removes stains and tartar, leaving your teeth looking brighter and healthier.
  • Freshens Breath: Cleans out bacteria and food particles, eliminating bad breath.
  • Healthier Gums: Promotes gum health by preventing gum inflammation and infection.

When Do You Need Scaling and Polishing?

  • Twice a Year: Ideally every six months, as recommended by dentists, for routine maintenance.
  • If You Have Gum Issues: If you suffer from bleeding gums or other gum-related problems, regular cleaning is essential.
  • For Stained Teeth: If your teeth are stained from coffee, tea, or smoking, polishing will restore their brightness.
