Professional Teeth Cleaning & Polishing
Gentle ultrasonic plaque and tartar removal to reverse gum inflammation, eliminate coffee/tea stains, and leave your teeth sparkling clean.
What is Scaling & Polishing?
Scaling and polishing (professional dental cleaning) is a specialized procedure that removes hardened plaque deposits (tartar/calculus) and extrinsic stains from above and below the gumline. Even with diligent daily brushing and flossing, mineralized tartar cannot be removed at home and requires ultrasonic debridement by a dental professional.
Why Regular Cleaning is Essential
Left untreated, tartar harbors colonies of toxic bacteria that trigger chronic gum inflammation (gingivitis), receding gums, and bone loss (periodontitis). A 30-minute professional clean every 6 months is the single most effective way to protect your natural teeth for life.
Signs You Need a Cleaning Session
If you notice any of these warning signs, your teeth are overdue for ultrasonic scaling:
Bleeding Gums When Brushing
A clear indicator of bacterial plaque irritating gum tissues.
Yellow or Brown Crust on Teeth
Hard mineralized calculus clinging to lower incisors and molars.
Persistent Halitosis (Bad Breath)
Bacterial colonies beneath gums that cannot be masked by mouthwash.
Over 6 Months Since Last Clean
Routine preventive maintenance to keep your mouth spotless.

Post-Cleaning Care Tips
Mild Sensitivity is Temporary
Your teeth may feel slightly sensitive for 24-48 hours where heavy calculus was removed. This subsides quickly.
Avoid Staining Drinks for 24 Hours
Avoid dark coffee, black tea, red wine, and smoking for 24 hours while freshly polished enamel pores settle.
Maintain Daily Interdental Flossing
Floss daily to prevent soft plaque from calcifying into hard tartar again.
