Teeth Polishing

Teeth scaling involves the meticulous removal of plaque, calculus, and stains from the teeth. Plaque, a colorless film of bacteria, forms consistently on the teeth and gums. When plaque hardens due to mineral precipitation from saliva, it solidifies into calculus or tartar. Calculus deposits on the teeth surface along the gum line and below it, proving resistant to ordinary tooth brushing. The combination of plaque and calculus can lead to various serious dental issues, including bad breath, cavities, and gum inflammation (gingivitis). If left untreated, it can escalate to periodontitis, characterized by symptoms like receding gums, pocket formation, infection, bleeding, and dull ache. Scaling is a specialized process performed by our skilled dentists to effectively remove calculus.

Polishing complements scaling by eliminating remaining debris and restoring the tooth surface to a smooth and polished state. Together, scaling and polishing work harmoniously to eradicate plaque, calculus, and surface stains, ensuring healthier teeth and gums.

Benefits of Teeth Scaling & Polishing

The advantages of teeth scaling and polishing extend beyond maintaining oral health:

1. Promoting Gum and Teeth Health: Regular scaling and polishing effectively treat gingivitis and prevent severe gum disease (periodontitis), reducing the risk of tooth loss. For individuals with specific risk factors, such as improper oral hygiene or challenging-to-clean teeth, scaling and polishing become a necessity.
2. Eliminating Bad Breath: Chronic gum disease and tooth decay can lead to bad breath. Improving gum health through scaling and polishing aids in eliminating this concern.
3. A Non-Invasive Approach to Gum Health Restoration: For mild to moderate gum disease, scaling, root planning, and polishing offer an effective non-surgical treatment.
4. Preventing Tooth Decay and Cavities: Scaling and polishing aid in removing surface stains and discoloration, revitalizing the shine and brightness of your teeth.

Our dental specialists employ specialized instruments, such as scalers and ultrasonic cleaning tools, to meticulously remove plaque, calculus, and stains from all tooth surfaces, including interdental spaces and below the gum line. The procedure ensures a quick, comfortable, and pain-free experience for the majority of our patients. For individuals with severe gum disease, appropriate measures, such as numbing the area, are taken to ensure optimal comfort.

For those with plaque and tartar deposits below the gum line, we conduct deep dental cleaning, which includes scaling and root planning, to restore gum health effectively.
