Scaling & Polishing - Art of Teeth - The Best Dental Clinic in Al Barsha

What is Scaling and Polishing?

Scaling and polishing are professional dental cleaning procedures that help maintain oral hygiene by removing plaque, tartar, and stains from the teeth. Scaling involves using specialized tools to clean below the gumline and on the surface of the teeth to remove plaque and tartar build-up, which cannot be removed through regular brushing. Polishing follows, which smooths the tooth surface, removing stains and leaving the teeth with a clean, shiny finish. This procedure is important for preventing gum disease, cavities, and other oral health problems.

Why Do You Need Scaling and Polishing?

Scaling and polishing are essential to maintain optimal oral health. Over time, plaque and tartar build up on teeth, even with regular brushing.

If not removed, tartar can lead to gum disease, cavities, bad breath, and other serious dental issues. Scaling removes hardened plaque and tartar, preventing the onset of these problems.

Polishing makes the teeth smoother and shinier, which not only improves appearance but also reduces the likelihood of plaque accumulation in the future. Regular scaling and polishing can help you maintain a bright, healthy smile and keep your gums and teeth in excellent condition.

At Art of Teeth Dental Clinic, scaling and polishing are performed by our experienced dental hygienists and dentists. The procedure begins with a thorough examination to assess the condition of your teeth and gums. We then use advanced tools to remove plaque and tartar from the teeth, both above and below the gumline. After scaling, we polish your teeth using a special paste that removes surface stains, leaving your teeth smooth and gleaming. The procedure is quick, non-invasive, and designed to be as comfortable as possible for you.

Examination and Assessment

Before the procedure, we thoroughly examine your mouth to check for any underlying issues such as cavities or gum disease. This step ensures that scaling and polishing are suitable for your oral health.

Scaling the Teeth

Using specialized ultrasonic or hand instruments, we carefully remove plaque and tartar from the surface of your teeth and below the gumline. This step helps prevent gum disease and improves overall oral health.

Polishing the Teeth

After scaling, we use a special polishing paste and rotating brush to smooth the surface of your teeth, removing any remaining plaque, stains, and giving your teeth a shiny, polished finish.

Fluoride Treatment (Optional)

After polishing, we may apply fluoride treatment to help strengthen the enamel and protect the teeth from future decay. This extra step helps maintain your teeth's health and longevity.

Post-Treatment Advice

After the procedure, we provide personalized oral care tips to help you maintain your teeth and gums. You may experience some sensitivity for a short time, but this is usually temporary. Regular follow-ups are recommended to keep your smile bright and healthy.

How often should I get scaling and polishing?

It’s recommended to have scaling and polishing every 6 to 12 months, depending on your oral health needs. Some individuals may require more frequent visits if they are prone to plaque or tartar buildup.

Is scaling and polishing painful?

Scaling and polishing are generally not painful. However, you may experience some discomfort or sensitivity during the procedure, especially if there is significant plaque buildup or gum disease. Our team ensures your comfort throughout the process.

Will scaling and polishing whiten my teeth?

Polishing can help remove surface stains, making your teeth appear brighter. While it can enhance the overall appearance, it is not a teeth-whitening procedure. For more significant whitening, we offer professional teeth whitening treatments.

Are there any side effects after scaling and polishing?

Some people may experience mild sensitivity in their teeth and gums after the procedure, but this typically resolves within a day or two. If you experience prolonged discomfort, contact our office for guidance.
