Our dental hygienists are experts in preventative oral care, equipped with the latest tools and techniques to ensure effective plaque and tartar removal.

We focus on preventing dental issues before they start. Regular scaling and polishing are integral to this approach, helping you avoid more serious dental problems down the line.

What to Expect During Scaling and Polishing

Our hygienist starts by checking your teeth and gums to locate plaque and tartar buildup.

With special tools, plaque and tartar are carefully removed from your teeth surfaces and beneath your gums. This step is vital for preventing gum disease.

We then polish your teeth to remove surface stains and make your teeth smoother, which helps prevent future plaque buildup.

After cleaning, you'll get tips on how to brush and floss more effectively, tailored to your specific dental needs.

During your visit, we also look for any signs of gum issues, catching potential problems early.

Recommended visits for
optimal oral health.

For most patients, we recommend a scale and polish every six months to maintain dental health and prevent plaque buildup. Those with braces or specific dental needs may benefit from more frequent visits to ensure their teeth remain in top condition throughout their treatment.

Ask the Experts

You Got Questions ?

We've got answers.

What’s the difference between regular teeth cleaning and scaling and polishing ?
Regular teeth cleaning focuses on the surfaces of the teeth and the space between teeth and gums, removing plaque and tartar. Scaling and polishing go deeper, cleaning below the gum line and smoothing the tooth's surface to prevent future plaque buildup
Is scaling and polishing painful ?
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during scaling and polishing. Sensitive areas may feel slight pressure or discomfort, but local anesthesia can be used if necessary
Can scaling and polishing damage my teeth ?
No, when performed by a professional, scaling and polishing are safe procedures that do not damage the teeth. They actually help maintain your oral health by preventing gum disease and decay.
Will scaling and polishing remove all my teeth stains ?
Polishing can remove many surface stains, making your teeth appear whiter and brighter. However, some deeper stains might require additional cosmetic treatments like whitening.
What should I expect after the procedure ?
After scaling and polishing, your teeth may feel smoother and cleaner. Some people might experience slight sensitivity or gum tenderness for a few days, which usually resolves on its own.
How can I maintain the results of scaling and polishing ?
Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and using an antiseptic mouthwash. Also, keep up with regular dental check-ups and cleanings.
Are there any side effects of scaling and polishing ?
Some patients might experience minor sensitivity or gum swelling after the procedure, but these symptoms are typically temporary.
