Professional Cleaning (Scaling & Polishing)

Maintaining a truly healthy and radiant smile goes beyond daily brushing and flossing. Over time, a sticky film of bacteria called plaque constantly forms on your teeth. If not thoroughly removed, it hardens into a substance known as tartar (or calculus), which cannot be eliminated by brushing alone. This build-up is a leading cause of gum disease, cavities, and persistent bad breath.

The Two-Step Solution for Optimal Oral Health

Our professional cleaning service is a fundamental part of preventive dental care, designed to leave your mouth feeling exceptionally clean and refreshed. The procedure involves two key steps:

• Scaling: Using specialized instruments, our skilled dental hygienists gently and meticulously remove all traces of hardened plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth and along the gumline. This crucial step halts the progression of gum disease and removes the primary source of many oral health issues.

• Polishing: After scaling, we polish your teeth with a high-grade paste. This smooths out microscopic imperfections on the tooth surface, which not only removes surface stains for a brighter, more brilliant smile but also makes it more difficult for new plaque to accumulate.

Key Benefits of Regular Professional Cleaning:

• Prevents Gum Disease: By removing tartar and plaque, we protect your gums from inflammation, bleeding (gingivitis), and more serious periodontal conditions.

• Fresher Breath: We eliminate the bacteria and deposits responsible for chronic bad breath (halitosis), giving you lasting freshness and confidence.

• Improves Overall Oral Health: A clean mouth is the foundation of good oral health, reducing your risk of cavities and other dental complications. It's the most effective step you can take to preserve your natural teeth for life.
