What is Scaling and Polishing?

Scaling and polishing are routine dental procedures designed to clean your teeth and gums effectively. These treatments are crucial for preventing gum disease, tooth decay, and other oral health issues.

Scaling

Scaling involves the removal of plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) from the surfaces of the teeth, especially around the gum line and between the teeth. This is done using specialised dental instruments, including ultrasonic scalers and manual hand tools.

Polishing

Polishing is the process of smoothing the surfaces of the teeth to remove surface stains and make it more difficult for plaque to accumulate. This step uses a polishing paste and a rotating rubber cup or brush to leave your teeth looking shiny and feeling smooth.

Benefits of Scaling and Polishing

Regardless of your brushing and flossing routine, plaque and tartar can accumulate over time. There are many benefits of scaling and polishing that prevents issues from that buildup. We recommend professional scaling and polishing at least twice a year, or more frequently if you have gum disease or other risk factors.

Prevents Gum Disease: Removing plaque and tartar reduces the risk of gingivitis and periodontitis, keeping your gums healthy.

Reduces Tooth Decay: Regular cleanings help prevent cavities by eliminating harmful bacteria and plaque buildup.

Improves Oral Hygiene: Professional cleanings complement your daily brushing and flossing, ensuring thorough removal of debris.

Freshens Breath: Removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria helps eliminate bad breath, leaving your mouth feeling fresh.
