Scaling and polishing
What is Scaling and polishing?
Scaling and polishing remove the bacterial deposits that constantly form around your teeth and gums. Regular oral hygiene maintenance is essential in preventing common dental problems such as dental cavities and gum problems. It also ensures cleaner and brighter looking teeth. This is the only and most required measurement to maintain a healthy oral cavity. Every individual should get the scaling done twice in a year (6 months interval) to maintain a good oral hygiene.
Gum disease is caused by a sticky film of bacteria called plaque. Plaque is always forming on your teeth, but if they aren’t cleaned well, the bacteria in plaque can cause your gums to become inflamed. When this happens, your gums will pull away from your teeth and form spaces called pockets. Plaque then gets trapped in these pockets and cannot be removed with regular brushing. If untreated, gum disease could lead to bone and tooth loss.

Our process
Scaling and polishing is a vital dental process that involves several key steps. It starts with a thorough assessment of the patient’s oral health to identify plaque and tartar buildup. The dental hygienist then performs scaling, meticulously removing these deposits from the teeth, especially in hard-to-reach areas. Following scaling, the teeth are polished using a rotating rubber cup and special toothpaste to create a smooth surface that deters plaque buildup. This procedure not only enhances the appearance of your smile but also contributes to better oral health by reducing the risk of gum disease and cavities.
