What is Teeth Cleaning & Polishing?

Professional cleaning (also called scaling) removes hardened plaque (tartar/calculus) from above and below the gumline using ultrasonic tips and hand instruments. Polishing then smooths the enamel and lifts minor surface stains, leaving a glossy, fresh finish.

Why it matters

  • Gum health
  • Fresher breath
  • Stain control
  • Cavity prevention

Who is it for?

Ideal for adults and teens. Especially helpful if you notice:

  • Bleeding while brushing
  • Yellowish/brown tartar near gums
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Stains from tea/coffee/red wine/tobacco

Frequently Asked Questions

Usually no—just mild vibration/cooling. For sensitive teeth we can use desensitising gel or lower power.

About 30–45 minutes, depending on tartar build-up.

No. Polishing removes surface stains and smooths enamel; whitening lightens the tooth shade with bleaching gels.

Every 6 months for most adults; every 3–4 months if you have gum disease, braces, diabetes, or smoke.

For 2–3 hours, skip strongly coloured foods/drinks (tea, coffee, wine). If gums feel tender, rinse with warm salt water.

No—tartar can falsely “splint” teeth. Removing it may make teeth feel different for a day or two, but cleaning protects gum support in the long run.
