Shine Brighter with a Healthy Smile: Scaling & Polishing at Art of Teeth

A healthy smile is a happy smile! At Art of Teeth Dental Clinic in Dubai, we believe that regular preventive care is crucial for maintaining good oral health. Scaling and polishing, also known as prophylaxis, is a vital cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar buildup, leaving your teeth feeling smooth, clean, and refreshed.

Scaling and polishing offer numerous benefits for your oral health:

Fresher Breath

Plaque and tartar harbor bacteria that contribute to bad breath. Scaling and polishing eliminate these bacteria, leaving you with fresh breath and improved confidence.

Prevents Gum Disease

Plaque and tartar buildup can irritate gums, leading to gingivitis (inflammation) and potentially progressing to periodontitis (severe gum disease) if left untreated. Regular scaling removes these harmful deposits, helping prevent gum disease and maintaining healthy gums.

Brighter Smile

Over time, plaque and food stains can dull the appearance of your teeth. Scaling and polishing remove these stains, revealing your teeth's natural whiteness and enhancing your smile's brightness.

Improved Oral Health

Regular scaling and polishing help maintain good oral health, reducing the risk of cavities and other dental problems.

Our gentle and experienced dentists will perform the scaling and polishing procedure using specialized instruments to safely remove plaque and tartar buildup. The process typically involves:

Ultrasonic Cleaning

We utilize advanced ultrasonic scalers to effectively remove tartar, even below the gum line.

Polishing

A gentle polishing paste removes surface stains and leaves your teeth feeling smooth and clean.

Manual Scaling

For more stubborn deposits, our dentists may use specialized manual instruments to thoroughly clean your teeth

Floss and Oral Hygiene Instruction

Our dental hygienists will demonstrate proper flossing techniques and provide oral hygiene tips to maintain optimal oral health between cleanings.

Does scaling and polishing hurt?

Scaling and polishing is a gentle procedure designed to clean your teeth.

While some patients may experience slight discomfort or sensitivity, especially if they have gum disease, most people find it quite comfortable. Your dentist will use local anesthesia if needed.

How often should I get a scaling and polishing?

The recommended frequency of scaling and polishing depends on your oral health and the buildup of tartar.

Generally, it's recommended to schedule a professional cleaning every six months. However, if you have gum disease or other oral health concerns, you may need more frequent cleanings.

Will scaling and polishing make my teeth whiter?

While scaling and polishing can remove surface stains and make your teeth appear brighter, it won't drastically change the natural color of your teeth.

If you're looking for a significant whitening effect, you may consider professional teeth whitening treatments.
