Teeth Cleaning & Polishing (Scaling)

Remove the tartar a toothbrush cannot touch

You may need this if…

  • Visible yellow or brown deposits near the gum line
  • Bleeding gums
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Surface staining from tea, coffee or tobacco
  • It has been more than a year since your last cleaning

Plaque that is not brushed away hardens within days into tartar (calculus), which is bonded to the tooth and cannot be removed by brushing at home. Tartar is porous and holds bacteria right against the gum, which is how gum disease starts.

Ultrasonic scaling uses high-frequency vibration and a water spray to break the deposits off without scratching the enamel. Polishing afterwards smooths the surface so plaque takes longer to build up again, and removes surface stains from tea, coffee, paan and tobacco.

Most adults benefit from a cleaning every six months. It is also the single cheapest dental appointment you will ever have, and the one that prevents the expensive ones.

Teeth Cleaning & Polishing (Scaling) — common questions

No. Ultrasonic scalers vibrate the deposit off the tooth; the tip is not sharp and does not cut enamel. The myth comes from the sensitivity some people feel afterwards, which is the newly exposed root surface, not damage.
