Scaling / Cleaning & Polishing

Scaling & polishing is the removal of stains, plaque and tartar(yellow deposits on the teeth) which is done professionally by a dentist. Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for overall health. Plaque and tartar buildup can promote the development and progression of gum disease which is why teeth cleaning is recommended to be done every six months.

Good oral hygiene is important to prevent bleeding gums, bone loss, loosening of teeth and bad breath. The advantage of regular cleaning is that small cavities can be picked up at the initial stage to avoid the stage of a root canal. Poor oral hygiene can lead to a variety of dental and medical problems such as gum disease, infection, bone loss, heart problems etc. The mouth is the gateway to the body so maintaining good oral hygiene is extremely significant.
