Scaling &
Polishing.

Scaling and polishing is a professional deep clean that removes plaque and hardened tartar (calculus) that regular brushing can't reach — the single most effective thing you can do to prevent gum disease.

Ultrasonic scaling and polishing for gum health

What It Is

The clean your toothbrush can't do alone.

Plaque that isn't removed regularly hardens into tartar within days, a substance that bonds firmly to the tooth surface and below the gumline — no amount of brushing or flossing can remove it once it's set. Left in place, tartar irritates the gums, leading to inflammation, bleeding, bad breath, and eventually gum disease if untreated.

Using an ultrasonic scaler, tartar is gently broken up and removed from the tooth surface and along the gumline, followed by polishing to smooth the enamel and remove surface staining — leaving your teeth measurably cleaner than brushing alone can achieve.

to get it checked.

Bleeding gums when you brush or flossBleeding is one of the earliest and most reliable signs of gum inflammation that scaling can address.

Persistent bad breathBacteria trapped in plaque and tartar are a leading cause of chronic bad breath.
It's been more than 6 months since your last cleaningRoutine 6-monthly scaling is the standard interval for preventing tartar buildup and gum disease.
Gums that look puffy, red, or recedingThese are visible signs of gum inflammation that a professional cleaning, combined with good home care, can help reverse early.

Common Questions

Answers before
you ask.

Does scaling damage tooth enamel?

No — professional ultrasonic scaling is safe for enamel; it removes tartar sitting on top of the tooth, not the enamel itself.

Is scaling painful?

Most patients feel mild sensitivity at most; it's generally a comfortable procedure without anesthesia.

How often should I get my teeth professionally cleaned?

Every 6 months for most people; more frequently if you're prone to tartar buildup or have existing gum disease.
