Scaling and Polishing: Deep Cleaning for Healthy Teeth Scaling and polishing is a professional dental cleaning procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and stains to keep your gums and teeth healthy. What is Scaling? Scaling is the removal of hardened plaque (tartar) from the teeth and gumline. It helps prevent gum disease, bad breath, and cavities. 🦷 Types of Scaling: ✅ Manual Scaling – Uses hand instruments to scrape off tartar. ✅ Ultrasonic Scaling – Uses vibrations and water spray to break down tartar. What is Polishing? Polishing smooths the tooth surface to remove stains and minor plaque buildup, making it harder for bacteria to stick. ✅ Regular Polishing – Uses a rotating brush and a special polishing paste. ✅ Airflow Polishing – Uses a mix of water, air, and fine powder to remove stains. Benefits of Scaling & Polishing ✅ Prevents gum disease (gingivitis & periodontitis) ✅ Reduces bad breath (halitosis) ✅ Removes stains from coffee, tea, and smoking ✅ Makes teeth feel smoother and cleaner ✅ Helps prevent cavities by removing hidden plaque How Often Should You Get Scaling & Polishing? 🦷 Every 6 months for regular maintenance. 🦷 More frequently if you have gum disease, braces, or heavy tartar buildup.
