Scaling and polishing are essential dental treatments that prevent disease and protect your smile. While brushing twice daily is crucial, plaque and tartar can still build up due to bacteria mixing with food sugars, creating acids that harm enamel and roots. To truly keep your teeth strong and stain-free, regular brushing must be paired with professional deep cleaning like scaling and polishing.
Scaling is a dental procedure that removes hardened plaque or stains from the teeth using ultrasonic vibrations, similar to scraping off peeling paint from a wall.
While scaling primarily targets the teeth, it can also be performed on the tooth roots, especially when periodontal pockets develop. These pockets form when bacteria penetrate the gums, and cleaning the roots in this way is referred to as root planing.
Polishing is a dental procedure aimed at smoothing the tooth surfaces, especially after scaling, which can sometimes leave teeth feeling rough. During polishing, dentists often apply a protective layer of fluoride to help strengthen the enamel.
Air polishing is a modern dental technique designed to efficiently eliminate stubborn stains from both the front and back surfaces of teeth. This treatment uses a powerful stream of compressed air, water, and fine abrasive powder to gently yet effectively remove discoloration caused by substances like coffee, red wine, tea, tobacco, and some types of mouthwash.
No matter how meticulous your brushing and flossing routine is, stubborn plaque can sneak in — hardening into calculus that only expert dental care can remove. Scaling and polishing is not just a cleaning; it’s a powerful reset for your teeth, removing plaque, tough calculus, and pesky stains to reveal your smile’s true brilliance.
Beyond brightening your smile, this precise treatment uncovers hidden dental issues early, giving you a head start on optimal oral health. Best of all, it’s a gentle, quick procedure that, when done regularly, ensures your teeth stay strong, healthy, and dazzling for the long haul.
