Scaling and Polishing

Scaling and polishing is a common dental procedure used to remove plaque, tartar (calculus), and stains from the surfaces of teeth. It is also referred to as dental prophylaxis. It is critical for good oral health and the prevention of gum disease and tooth decay.

Regular dental check-ups and cleanings, typically every six months, are recommended to maintain optimal oral health. Based on your specific needs and oral health status, your dental professional will advise you on the appropriate frequency. Furthermore, good oral hygiene at home, such as brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and using mouthwash, is essential for preventing plaque buildup and maintaining a healthy smile.
