What is Teeth Cleaning & Polishing?

Teeth cleaning (also called scaling) is a professional dental procedure that removes plaque, tartar (calculus), and stains from the surface of your teeth — especially from areas that regular brushing and flossing can’t reach. Polishing is done afterward to smoothen the teeth and give them a clean, shiny appearance.

Treatment Process

Oral Examination

The dentist examines your teeth and gums to check for tartar, gum inflammation, or bleeding.

Scaling (Cleaning)

Special ultrasonic tools are used to gently remove plaque and hardened tartar deposits from the teeth surface and gum line.

Polishing

A soft rubber cup and polishing paste are used to smooth the teeth and remove minor stains.
