What Is Scaling & Polishing Treatment?

Scaling & Fluoride is a two-part preventive dental treatment designed to protect your smile from top to bottom. Professional scaling thoroughly cleans your teeth, removing hardened plaque (tartar) and surface stains that regular brushing can’t eliminate. This is followed by a fluoride treatment, which strengthens your tooth enamel, reverses early signs of decay, and provides long-lasting protection against cavities. Together, they form the foundation of excellent oral health.

Our Scaling & Polishing Process

Comprehensive Oral Assessment

We begin with a gentle examination of your teeth and gums, using a periodontal probe to check for any pockets or inflammation, ensuring we tailor the cleaning to your specific needs.

Ultrasonic & Hand Scaling

We use advanced ultrasonic scalers to gently break up and remove tough tartar deposits above and below the gumline, followed by meticulous hand scaling for a perfectly smooth finish.

Polishing & Stain Removal

Your teeth are gently polished with a specialized paste and air polisher to remove surface stains from coffee, tea, or wine, leaving your smile feeling fresh and looking brighter.

Fluoride Protection Treatment

A professional-strength fluoride varnish or gel is applied to your teeth. This quick treatment remineralizes enamel and provides a powerful shield against cavities for months to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I get a professional cleaning?

For most people, we recommend a professional cleaning every six months. However, if you have gum disease, you may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months) to manage it effectively.

Will the cleaning damage my tooth enamel?

No, professional cleaning is safe for your enamel. Our hygienists use specialized tools designed to remove only plaque and tartar, not your healthy tooth structure.

Why do my gums bleed during cleaning?

Bleeding is usually a sign of inflammation caused by plaque and tartar buildup. As your oral health improves with regular cleanings, the bleeding and inflammation should significantly reduce.
