Gentle. Thorough. Smile Refreshing.

Over time, even with good brushing habits, plaque and tartar build up. Left untreated, this buildup can lead to gum disease, bad breath, and even tooth loss. At Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai, our dental scaling and polishing treatment is a quick, comfortable, and highly effective way to give your teeth a fresh start.

What Is Dental Scaling & Polishing?

• Scaling removes hardened plaque (tartar) from the surfaces of your teeth and below the gum line using advanced ultrasonic technology.
• Polishing smooths and shines the teeth, removing surface stains caused by coffee, tea, tobacco, or simply time.

This is not just a cosmetic cleaning it’s a key part of maintaining healthy gums and preventing periodontal issues.

Why It Matters

• Prevents gum disease
• Removes stains and discolouration
• Fights bad breath
• Protects your teeth from decay
• Leaves your mouth feeling cleaner than ever

Does It Hurt?

Absolutely not. At Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai, we use gentle ultrasonic scalers and a soft touch approach. Most patients find the treatment painless, even relaxing. If you have sensitive gums, we’ll apply numbing gel for extra comfort.

Short on Time?

You’re in and out in 3045 minutes. Perfect for your lunch break. No downtime, no discomfort just a healthier smile.

Worried About Budget?

We believe everyone deserves access to preventive care. That’s why we offer:

• Transparent pricing
• Affordable packages for families
• Flexible payment options
• Insurance reimbursement support

What Is Deep Scaling (Deep Cleaning)?

More than a routine clean it’s a treatment that helps save your teeth.

Deep scaling, often called scaling and root planing, is a specialised dental procedure designed to treat gum disease (periodontitis). Unlike regular scaling that focuses on cleaning above and just below the gumline, deep cleaning goes much deeper to remove bacteria, tartar, and toxins from the root surfaces of your teeth.

Here’s What It Involves:

1. Local Anaesthesia for Comfort

We gently numb the area being treated so you feel no discomfort during the procedure. We understand that comfort and trust come first especially if you’re already anxious about dental treatments.

2. Deep Scaling Below the Gum Line

Using ultrasonic scalers and fine manual instruments, we carefully clean:

• Under the gumline
• Around the tooth roots
• Deep gum pockets where bacteria hide

This step removes plaque, tartar, and harmful bacteria that cause gum inflammation and bone loss.

3. Root Planing : Smoothing the Tooth Roots

Once the roots are clean, we gently smooth the surfaces of the tooth roots. This helps the gums reattach more securely to the teeth and makes it harder for bacteria to cling in the future.

4. Antibacterial Rinses or Localized Medications

In some cases, we may place a localized antibiotic gel or recommend antibacterial mouthwash to support healing and reduce bacteria further.

When Is Deep Cleaning Needed?

You may need deep cleaning if:

• Your gums bleed when brushing or flossing
• You have persistent bad breath
• There’s visible tartar below the gums
• Your gums are receding or teeth feel loose
• We detect deep gum pockets during examination

What to Expect After Deep Cleaning

• Mild sensitivity or soreness for a day or two easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief
• Improved gum health over the following weeks
• Fresher breath, healthier gums, and a clean, refreshed smile

We also schedule follow-ups to monitor healing and maintain progress.

Your Comfort Comes First

At Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai, we use magnification loupes, gentle hands, and soothing care to make even the most advanced cleanings feel safe, comfortable, and manageable.

Dr. Salah’s Note:

“When patients hear the words deep cleaning, they often imagine something painful or aggressive. But in truth, deep scaling is one of the most healing procedures we offer it gives your gums the chance to recover, breathe, and reattach to your teeth.

It’s not just about removing tartar; it’s about restoring health and preventing future damage. We take a gentle, step-by-step approach, explaining everything as we go. Most importantly, we treat you like a person not a chart or a diagnosis.

If your gums are inflamed, deep cleaning might be the reset they need. And we’ll be here with you every step of the way with comfort, care, and clarity.”

 

 

Polishing After Teeth Cleaning

The final touch that leaves your smile smooth, fresh, and radiant.

Once your teeth are free from plaque and tartar, we move on to the polishing step a gentle, finishing process that smooths the tooth surfaces and removes any remaining surface stains.

What Happens During Polishing?

Using a soft rubber cup and a mildly abrasive polishing paste, our hygienist gently buffs each tooth. This:

• Smooths the enamel, making it harder for plaque to stick
• Removes light surface stains caused by tea, coffee, or smoking
• Leaves your teeth feeling clean, fresh, and glossy

We Also Offer Airflow Polishing (Optional Upgrade)

For patients looking for a deeper clean with a more spa-like experience, we offer airflow polishing a modern technique using a jet of air, water, and ultra-fine powder to:

• Brighten the smile
• Reach difficult areas (like between teeth or around braces)
• Clean more gently, especially for patients with sensitive teeth

Why Polishing Matters

• Helps your teeth look and feel amazing after scaling
• Encourages better oral hygiene by giving you a clean slate
• Contributes to fresher breath and a smoother bite

Dr. Salah’s Note: The Power of Polishing

“Many people think of polishing as just a cosmetic extra but it’s actually a vital part of the cleaning process. It’s not just about making your teeth look good; it’s about making your mouth feel truly fresh and smooth.

That polished surface makes it harder for plaque to stick, easier for you to maintain good hygiene at home, and often gives you that ‘wow’ moment when you run your tongue across your teeth after a cleaning.

Whether it’s traditional polishing or advanced airflow, we do it with intention so you leave feeling your cleanest, brightest, and most confident.”

Fluoride Treatment

Small step. Big protection.

As the final step of your cleaning visit, we may recommend a fluoride treatment a quick, painless way to strengthen your teeth and prevent decay long after you’ve left the clinic.

What Is Fluoride Treatment?

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral that helps:

• Remineralise weakened enamel
• Reverse early signs of decay
• Make teeth more resistant to future acid attacks from food, drinks, and bacteria

At Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai, we use high grade fluoride varnish or gel, applied directly to your teeth after polishing. It takes only a few minutes and offers long-lasting protection.

Who Can Benefit from Fluoride?

• Children and teens during their cavity-prone years
• Adults with exposed root surfaces or enamel wear
• Patients with frequent snacking, braces, or dry mouth
• Anyone who wants an extra layer of defence against decay

What to Expect After Treatment

• Avoid eating or drinking for 30 – 60 minutes
• Don’t brush your teeth for 4 – 6 hours to let the fluoride fully absorb
• That’s it no pain, no downtime, just stronger teeth

Dr. Salah’s Note:

“Fluoride is one of the simplest, safest, and most effective ways to strengthen your enamel and protect against cavities. It’s especially helpful for children, patients with braces, or anyone with weakened enamel but honestly, almost everyone can benefit.

Think of it as a protective shield we apply at the end of your cleaning invisible, painless, and powerful. It reinforces everything we’ve done during your visit and keeps working long after you leave the chair.

Prevention doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes, a two-minute step makes all the difference.”

Things to Consider Before Your Appointment

A little preparation goes a long way toward a smoother, more comfortable visit.

1. Mild Bleeding or Sensitivity Is Normal

If your gums are inflamed or it’s been a while since your last cleaning, slight bleeding or sensitivity can occur during or after treatment. It’s a temporary sign of healing, not harm.

2. Eat Before Your Visit

Since we may advise not to eat or drink for 30–60 minutes after the procedure, it’s best to have a light meal beforehand especially if you’re coming straight from work or school.

3. Share Your Concerns

Nervous about pain? Sensitive teeth? Haven’t had a cleaning in years? Let us know. Our team is here to listen, not judge and we’ll adapt the treatment to suit your comfort level.

4. Medications & Health Conditions

Tell us if you’re on blood thinners, diabetic, pregnant, or have any heart conditions it helps us plan a safer and more personalised treatment.

5. Your Gums Might Feel “Different” After Cleaning

You may notice your teeth feel smoother or that spaces between teeth seem more noticeable that’s just your gums healing and inflammation going down. It’s a good sign.

6. Follow-Up May Be Recommended

For patients with gum disease or deeper pockets, we may recommend a follow-up or place you on a more frequent cleaning schedule (every 3 – 4 months) to maintain gum health.

Dr. Salah’s Note:

“For many patients, it’s not the cleaning itself that’s stressful  it’s the uncertainty around it. Will it hurt? Will my gums bleed? What if it’s been too long since my last visit?

I want you to know: no matter where you’re starting from, you’re welcome here. We’re not here to judge we’re here to help. And when you come in informed and relaxed, the whole experience becomes easier, more predictable, and even empowering.

Trust us to guide you gently, explain everything clearly, and treat you with the respect and care you deserve.”

What’s Included in a Dental Consultation?

Clarity, comfort, and a personalised plan all in one visit.

When you visit Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai for a consultation, it’s not just a quick glance at your teeth it’s a full, thoughtful assessment of your oral health, needs, and goals.

Your Consultation Includes:

• Comprehensive Oral Examination

  We check your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral condition using magnification loupes for detailed accuracy.

• Gum Health Assessment

  We assess gum inflammation, bleeding points, and pocket depths critical in identifying early or advanced gum disease.

• Tartar and Plaque Evaluation

  We identify any buildup and determine whether you need regular scaling or deep cleaning.

• X-Rays (if needed)

  If necessary, we’ll take digital X-rays to see what’s happening beneath the surface such as bone loss, hidden decay, or infection.

• Smile Goals Discussion

  Want whiter teeth? Concerned about bad breath? Hoping to improve your overall dental health? We listen and tailor your care accordingly.

• Personalised Treatment Plan

  Based on our findings, we create a custom plan that fits your timeline, comfort level, and budget.

Why It Matters

A great dental experience starts with clarity and connection and that’s exactly what our consultations are designed for. No rushing. No pressure. Just honest advice, gentle care, and a focus on prevention.

Dr. Salah’s Note:

“For many patients, a consultation is the first step after months  or even years  of putting off dental care. That’s why we treat it with the care and time it truly deserves.

When you walk into Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai for a consultation, you won’t be judged, rushed, or sold to. You’ll be listened to. We’ll look at your teeth, yes but more importantly, we’ll understand your concerns, explain everything clearly, and work with you to create a plan that feels right.

You don’t need perfect teeth to book an appointment. You just need the courage to start. We’ll take it from there gently, professionally, and always with your comfort in mind.”

What Is Periodontal Charting?

A deeper look into your gum health.

Periodontal charting is a diagnostic tool we use to measure the health of your gums and the structures that support your teeth. It’s a key part of every comprehensive dental exam especially if you have signs of gum disease.

What We Measure:

• Pocket Depths : The space between your gums and teeth, measured in millimetres. Healthy gums usually measure 1 – 3 mm. Deeper pockets may indicate gum disease.
• Gum Recession : How much the gums have pulled away from the tooth surface.
• Bleeding Points : Areas where the gums bleed during probing, which signals inflammation.
• Tooth Mobility : We check for any loose teeth, which can be a sign of bone loss or advanced gum issues.

Why It Matters

These measurements help us:

• Detect gum disease early, before it causes tooth or bone loss
• Track changes over time so we know if treatment is working
• Create a personalised gum care plan, from deep cleaning to surgical options if needed

Comfort Comes First

We use gentle techniques and slim probes to ensure minimal discomfort. The process is quick, non-invasive, and often completed in just a few minutes.

Dr. Salah’s Note: Why We Do Periodontal Charting

Your gums are the foundation of your smile and like any strong foundation, they need regular checks to stay healthy. Periodontal charting allows us to look beyond what we can see on the surface and catch the earliest signs of gum disease before they become serious.

I often tell patients: you may not feel pain, but gum issues can progress silently. Charting gives us the roadmap we need to treat you with precision, not guesswork.

Most importantly, this process isn’t about scaring or overwhelming you. It’s about empowering you with clarity, so you can make confident decisions about your oral health with a team that supports you every step of the way.

Things to Consider After Your Cleaning

Your mouth is refreshed here’s how to keep it feeling that way.

1. Mild Sensitivity Is Normal

After scaling, your teeth may feel slightly sensitive to cold or pressure for a day or two especially if there was significant tartar buildup. This is temporary and often improves quickly.

2. Gums May Feel Tender

Your gums might be a bit sore or slightly swollen if you had deep cleaning or inflamed gums. Rinsing with warm salt water can help soothe the area and speed healing.

3. Avoid Staining Foods for a Few Hours

To keep that fresh polish, avoid tea, coffee, red wine, or strongly pigmented foods for at least 2–3 hours after your visit. Your enamel is more porous immediately after polishing.

4. Continue Gentle Brushing and Flossing

Don’t stop brushing or flossing just because your gums feel tender. Keep it gentle, but consistent this helps prevent future buildup and supports healthy healing.

5. Drink Water Often

Water helps flush out residual debris and keeps your mouth feeling clean. It’s especially helpful if you’ve had fluoride or antibacterial treatments.

6. Follow Any Custom Advice

If our team gave you special instructions like using a medicated mouthwash or returning for a follow-up be sure to follow through. Your gums are healing, and we want to keep the momentum going.

7. Know When to Reach Out

If bleeding persists beyond 48 hours, pain increases, or something doesn’t feel right, contact us. It’s rare, but we’re always here to help.

Dr. Salah’s Note: After Your Cleaning

One of the most common things I hear after a dental cleaning is: ‘My mouth feels so fresh  I should’ve done this sooner.’

But I also know that what happens after the appointment matters just as much as what we do in the chair. Mild tenderness, sensitivity, or noticing new spaces between your teeth these are all part of the healing process, not signs of damage.

My advice? Stay gentle but consistent with your home care, drink lots of water, and don’t hesitate to reach out with questions. We’re not just cleaning teeth we’re building habits that protect your smile for life.”

How Often Should I Get Scaling and Polishing Done?

Because prevention is always better (and cheaper) than cure.

For most people, we recommend professional dental scaling and polishing every 6 months. This timing allows us to remove plaque and tartar before they can cause gum disease, tooth decay, or bad breath.

But Everyone’s Smile is Different

Depending on your lifestyle, habits, and health, you might need it more or less frequently. Here’s a quick guide:

• Every 3–4 months if you:
  • Have a history of gum disease
  • Smoke or vape
  • Wear braces or retainers
  • Have diabetes or other systemic health conditions
  • Have dry mouth (xerostomia)
• Every 6 months if you:
  • Have generally good oral hygiene
  • Brush and floss daily
  • Visit us regularly for check-ups
  • Don’t have active gum inflammation

Let’s Personalise It

During your visit to Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai, our team will assess your oral health and recommend a schedule that suits your smile and your lifestyle. We’ll never over-treat or under-treat just the right care, at the right time.

Dr. Salah’s Note:

“Prevention is the foundation of lifelong dental health and scaling and polishing is one of the simplest ways to protect your smile. But how often you need it depends on you your habits, health, and unique oral condition.

Some of our patients do well with twice-a-year cleanings, while others benefit from more frequent visits, especially if they wear braces, smoke, or are managing gum issues. The key is to personalise the plan around your needs, not the calendar.

At Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai, we don’t over-treat or under-treat. We treat with purpose. If you’re unsure where you stand, just come in we’ll assess gently, explain clearly, and help you make a confident, informed decision.”

Dr. Salah’s Note: Empowering You Beyond the Chair

Dental Hygiene Instructions

Keep your smile healthy between visits.

Your dental cleaning has given your teeth a fresh start now it’s time to protect that clean with daily habits that make a lasting difference.

1. Brush Twice a Day the Right Way

• Use a soft bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste
• Brush for 2 full minutes, covering all surfaces
• Replace your brush every 3 months (or sooner if bristles fray)

2. Floss Daily

• Floss reaches 35% of tooth surfaces that brushing can’t
• Gently guide the floss between teeth, hugging each side in a “C” shape
• If you find string floss tricky, try floss picks or water flossers

3. Use a Mouthwash

• An alcohol free antibacterial rinse helps reduce plaque and freshen breath
• Ideal after flossing or brushing before bed
• Ask our team which rinse suits your needs best

4. Limit Sugary Snacks & Acidic Drinks

• Frequent sugar or acid exposure weakens enamel
• Rinse your mouth with water after consuming coffee, soda, or fruit juice

5. Stay Hydrated

• Water keeps your mouth clean and your saliva flowing
• Saliva is your natural defense against decay and gum disease

6. Don’t Skip Your 6 Month Checkups

• Regular cleanings and exams catch issues early
• If we’ve recommended more frequent visits, stay on schedule your gums will thank you

Dr. Salah’s Note: Staying Consistent at Home

“A clean smile doesn’t end when you leave the clinic that’s where the real work begins. Daily brushing, flossing, and mindful habits may seem small, but they make the biggest difference over time.

I always tell my patients: your toothbrush is the most powerful dental tool you own. Use it well, and you’ll not only protect your teeth you’ll avoid unnecessary treatments in the future.

And remember, you’re not alone in this. Our team is here to guide, motivate, and support you every step of the way. Small daily wins lead to lifelong results.”

At Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai, we believe that great dentistry combines gentle hands with cutting-edge tools. Our dental cleaning technology allows us to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria thoroughly without causing pain or damaging your teeth.

1. Ultrasonic Scalers

These state of the art instruments use high-frequency vibrations and a gentle mist of water to break up and wash away hardened tartar above and below the gum line. They are:

This advanced system uses a controlled jet of air, water, and fine powder to:

• Gently remove surface stains

• Reduce plaque in hard-to-reach areas
  It’s especially popular for patients who want a sparkling smile with minimal abrasion.

4. Magnification Loupes

Our team wears high-powered magnification loupes during every cleaning session:

• To reduce the chance of missed spots or unnecessary scraping

5. Digital Records & Periodontal Charts

We digitally monitor your gum health over time with:

• Pocket depth measurements

“When it comes to dental cleanings, many people still imagine sharp tools and scraping sounds. But dentistry has come a long way and so have we.

At Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai, I’ve made it a priority to invest in technologies that make your experience gentler, faster, and more precise. Whether it’s ultrasonic scalers, magnification loupes, or airflow polishers each tool we use is chosen with one goal in mind: to protect your smile while keeping you completely comfortable.

Why Do My Gums Bleed During Dental Cleaning?

Bleeding gums during a dental cleaning can be worrying but in most cases, it’s a sign of inflammation, not something to fear. At Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai, we take time to explain every step so you always feel safe and informed.

 

Here’s Why It Happens:

1. Gum Inflammation (Gingivitis or Periodontitis)

   If plaque and tartar have built up along or under the gum line, your gums become irritated and inflamed. This condition is called gingivitis, and in more advanced cases, periodontitis.

When we remove this buildup during cleaning, the gums already swollen and sensitive may bleed slightly as they react to the gentle stimulation.

 

2. Poor Oral Hygiene or Missed Cleanings

   If it’s been a while since your last professional cleaning, the gums are more likely to bleed. It’s the body’s way of reacting to long-standing bacteria that have irritated the tissues.

3. Brushing or Flossing Too Aggressively Before Your Visit

   Sometimes, patients try to “catch up” on oral hygiene right before their appointment. While well-intentioned, aggressive brushing can cause temporary gum irritation and bleeding.

 

The Good News?

Bleeding gums during cleaning usually stop within minutes and heal beautifully in the days after treatment especially when you follow our home care advice. With regular cleanings and proper brushing, bleeding becomes less frequent and often disappears altogether.

 

When Should I Be Concerned?

If your gums bleed spontaneously (while eating or talking), or if the bleeding is heavy or persistent, it could be a sign of more advanced gum disease or another health condition. We’ll guide you through next steps gently and clearly.

 

We’re Here to Help Not Judge

At Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai, there’s no shame in having bleeding gums. We don’t blame we explain. Our goal is to help you regain control over your oral health with expert care and a warm, understanding approach.

Does Dental Cleaning Increase the Gaps Between My Teeth?

It might feel that way but here’s what’s really happening.

After a professional cleaning especially deep cleaning some patients notice that the spaces between their teeth appear larger. This can be surprising, even alarming, but it’s actually a sign that your gums are healing and inflammation is going down.

 

Here’s What’s Really Going On:

1. Gum Swelling Masks the Gaps

   Before cleaning, if your gums were inflamed due to tartar buildup or gum disease, they likely swelled and puffed up, filling the spaces between your teeth.

After cleaning:

• The swelling reduces
• The gums return to a healthier, tighter position
• You may now see spaces that were always there, just hidden before

 

2. Tartar Can “Hold Teeth Together” But in a Bad Way

   Hardened plaque (tartar) that sits between teeth acts like a wedge. When we remove it:

• Your teeth feel cleaner and looser, but not because they’re shifting
• You simply notice the natural spacing again

In fact, keeping tartar between your teeth would only lead to gum disease, bone loss, and real tooth movement over time.

 

The Truth: Cleaning Doesn’t Create Gaps It Reveals the Truth

And once inflammation is gone and your gums heal, they often tighten naturally around your teeth, making your smile look healthier and more defined.

 

Worried About Gaps? Let’s Talk.

At Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai, we:

• Perform gentle cleanings with precision
• Monitor gum health before, during, and after treatment
• Offer follow-up care and solutions for any concerns about spacing or aesthetics

Your smile is in caring, expert hands.

Why Do My Teeth Feel Sensitive After Dental Cleaning?

It’s temporary and a sign your teeth are healthier than before.

Feeling a little sensitivity after a dental cleaning is completely normal, especially if it’s been a while since your last visit or if tartar buildup was significant. It typically lasts a few hours to a couple of days  and it usually fades as your teeth and gums settle back into a healthier state.

Here’s Why It Happens:

1. Your Teeth Are Now Fully Exposed

   Tartar can act like a “blanket” over the enamel and gums. Once it’s removed, those areas are more open to temperature, air, or pressure, which can trigger temporary sensitivity.

2. Your Gums Are Healing

   If your gums were inflamed or infected, they may feel sore or slightly receded after cleaning exposing parts of the tooth that are normally protected.

3. You May Have Exposed Dentin

   In areas where enamel is thinner or gum recession has occurred, the inner layer of your tooth (dentin) may be more reactive to stimuli like cold drinks or brushing.

 

The Good News? It Gets Better.

• Most sensitivity resolves within 24 – 72 hours
• Using a sensitivity toothpaste and avoiding extreme temperatures can help
• Our team may recommend fluoride varnish or desensitising treatments during your cleaning if needed

A Note from Dr. Salahudeen Aboobacker

Founder & Clinical Director – Pearl Dental Clinic Dubai

“For me, dental cleaning is more than just removing tartar  it’s about helping you preserve the health of your gums, teeth, and confidence for life. I’ve seen how simple, consistent hygiene visits can prevent serious problems down the line.

Many patients come in nervous unsure if it will hurt, if their gums will bleed, or if they’ve waited too long. I want you to know: you’re in a judgment-free space here. We meet you where you are, and we help you move forward.

Whether it’s been 6 months or 6 years, we’ll take care of you with skill, kindness, and patience every single time.”
