Scaling & Polishing
Scaling and polishing is a professional dental cleaning procedure designed to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains, ensuring healthier teeth and gums. It is an essential part of oral hygiene maintenance, preventing gum disease, cavities, and bad breath. Scaling targets hardened plaque (tartar) that cannot be removed through regular brushing and flossing, while polishing smooths the tooth surfaces, reducing future plaque buildup and leaving teeth looking cleaner and shinier.
The procedure involves the use of specialized dental instruments to gently remove deposits from the teeth and along the gum line. Ultrasonic scalers may be used for efficient tartar removal, followed by polishing with a fine-grit paste to eliminate stains and create a smooth, glossy finish. This treatment is completely safe, minimally invasive, and helps maintain overall oral health while enhancing the brightness of your smile.
After a scaling and polishing session, patients may experience slight sensitivity, especially if there was a significant buildup of tartar. However, this is temporary and can be managed with fluoride toothpaste and sensitivity-reducing products. It is important to continue proper oral hygiene by brushing twice daily, flossing, and using an antibacterial mouth rinse to keep plaque from reforming. Regular dental checkups and professional cleanings every six months ensure long-term oral health, preventing serious dental issues in the future. Scaling and polishing not only contribute to a healthier mouth but also help maintain fresh breath and a confident, radiant smile.
