What is Scaling and Polishing?
Scaling and polishing is a routine dental procedure that involves deep cleaning your teeth and gums to remove tartar, plaque, and surface stains. Even with good oral hygiene habits, plaque can still accumulate in hard-to-reach areas, eventually hardening into tartar. Regular scaling and polishing treatments help to prevent gum disease and maintain the overall health of your mouth.
Benefits of Scaling and Polishing
By removing plaque and tartar buildup, scaling helps prevent the onset of gingivitis and periodontal disease.
Polishing removes surface stains caused by food, drinks, and habits such as smoking, giving you a cleaner and brighter smile.
Plaque and bacteria can cause bad breath. Scaling and polishing eliminate these odor-causing elements, leaving your breath fresh.
Regular cleanings make it easier for you to maintain your oral hygiene at home, preventing long-term dental issues.
The Scaling and Polishing Procedure
Our dental team begins by examining your teeth and gums to assess any areas of concern, such as tartar buildup or gum inflammation.
Using specialized instruments, we carefully remove plaque and tartar from both above and below the gum line. This step is critical for eliminating bacteria that contribute to gum disease.
After scaling, we polish the teeth using a special paste that smoothens the tooth surfaces, removing stains and giving your teeth a polished, shiny appearance
To further protect your teeth, we may apply a fluoride treatment to strengthen enamel and help prevent cavities.
