What is Scaling and Polishing?
Scaling and polishing is a professional dental cleaning procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains. It enhances both oral health and appearance. Scaling, in particular, targets hardened plaque above and below the gum line, preventing gum disease and cavities. Meanwhile, polishing smooths tooth surfaces, reducing plaque buildup and removing minor stains for a brighter smile. Regular teeth scaling and polishing help maintain healthy gums and prevent future dental issues.
Why Should I Scale and Polish My Teeth?
Key Benefits of Scaling and Polishing
Regular teeth scaling and polishing provides numerous benefits that go beyond just a cleaner smile. Here’s why it’s essential for maintaining your oral health:
Prevents Gum Disease
Scaling removes tartar buildup below the gum line. It reduces the risk of gum disease by preventing inflammation and infection.
Reduces Plaque and Tartar
Professional scaling effectively removes hardened plaque and tartar that daily brushing can’t reach. This protects your teeth from decay.
Improves Breath
Removing plaque and bacteria helps combat bad breath, leaving your mouth feeling fresher and cleaner.
Brightens Your Smile
Polishing smooths and cleans the tooth surfaces, removing surface stains and giving you a brighter, more polished smile.
Protects Long-Term Oral Health
Regular scaling and polishing maintain healthy gums and teeth. This prevents future dental issues.
Scheduling routine teeth scaling and polishing helps you enjoy a healthier, fresher smile and supports long-term oral health.
Scaling and Polishing Procedure
What to Expect During Your Teeth Scaling and Polishing
The scaling and polishing procedure is a straightforward, gentle process designed to thoroughly clean your teeth and gums. Here’s what typically happens during your appointment:
Initial Examination
Your dentist will assess your teeth and gums to identify any areas of plaque or tartar buildup that require attention.
Scaling
Using specialised tools, your dentist removes tartar and plaque from above and below the gum line, targeting areas that are hard to reach with regular brushing. With the help of state-of-the-art solutions such as EMS Airflow, we are able to eliminate biofilm (a layer of bacteria that can contribute to plaque and tartar formation) on teeth, dental implants and soft tissue to prevent cavities and periodontal disease without triggering sensitivity.
Polishing
A polishing tool with a mildly abrasive paste is used to smooth tooth surfaces, removing surface stains and creating a bright, smooth finish.
Fluoride and Fluoride-Free Options
To enhance your smile even further, we offer fluoride and fluoride-free treatments:
- Fluoride Treatment
- Fluoride strengthens enamel, prevents cavities, and is highly recommended for children, adults at risk of decay, or those with sensitive teeth.
- Fluoride-Free Alternatives
- Nano-Hydroxyapatite: A natural mineral that helps repair and remineralise enamel.
- Xylitol Treatments: A natural sweetener that promotes a healthy oral environment and fights cavities.
Dietary Guidance: Support healthy teeth through a balanced diet, focusing on foods that nourish and protect your smile.
