Scaling & Polishing
Scaling and polishing are routine dental procedures aimed at removing plaque, tartar, and stains from teeth to prevent gum disease and maintain oral health. Here’s a step-by-step description of the process:
✔
Examination: The dentist examines the teeth and gums to identify areas with plaque and tartar build-up.
✔
Scaling: Specialized tools are used to remove plaque and tartar from the tooth surface and beneath the gum line.
✔
Polishing: The teeth are polished using a rotating brush and special paste to remove stains and smooth the tooth surface.
✔
Fluoride Treatment (optional): Sometimes, a fluoride treatment is applied to strengthen teeth and prevent decay.
Scaling and polishing help maintain clean, healthy teeth and gums, preventing gum disease and keeping your smile bright.
