What Are Scaling and Polishing?

Scaling and Polishing

Scaling and polishing is a professional dental cleaning procedure that helps remove plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth. This treatment is essential for maintaining healthy gums, fresh breath, and a clean, bright smile.

Regular scaling and polishing not only improve the appearance of your teeth but also help prevent gum disease and other oral health problems.

What Is Scaling?

Scaling is the process of removing hardened plaque (tartar) and bacteria from the surface of the teeth and below the gum line using specialized dental instruments.

What Is Polishing?

After scaling, polishing smooths and cleans the tooth surfaces to remove stains and make it harder for plaque to build up again.

Signs You May Need Scaling and Polishing

You may benefit from professional cleaning if you have:

• Bleeding gums
• Bad breath
• Yellow or stained teeth
• Plaque or tartar buildup
• Swollen or sensitive gums

How Often Should You Get It?

Dentists usually recommend scaling and polishing every 6 months, depending on your oral health condition and hygiene habits.
