Scaling and Polishing

Polishing and scaling is a thorough procedure to clean and remove all traces of plaque and tartar in your mouth, both the visible part above the gums and just under the gums where the toothbrush is unable to reach. Despite regular and proper dental habits, bacteria and plaque may still lurk in places which you cannot see with your naked eye. Scaling is used to remove the hard tartar, plaque, bacteria toxins and calculus (the white or yellow hard deposits that accumulate on your teeth) from the surfaces below the gum line which cannot be removed by simply brushing your teeth.

The polishing process helps to clean away stains from your teeth which are usually caused by coffee, tea or red wine. Polishing will also leave your teeth smooth and shiny.

For patients with gum disease, a deeper scaling procedure, known as root planning, will be required to clean around the roots of the teeth. Depending on severity, our dentist may discuss the option of using a local anesthetic, so that the root planning process will feel less sensitive and uncomfortable.
