Scaling & Polishing

The Importance of Scaling & Polishing – A Commitment to Lasting Oral Health

Brushing and flossing are essential for maintaining oral hygiene, but they are not enough to remove stubborn plaque and tartar buildup that accumulates over time. Even with the most meticulous at-home care, certain areas of the mouth remain vulnerable to deposits that can lead to gum disease, cavities, and bad breath. This is where professional scaling and polishing play a vital role in preventive dental care.

Why Is Scaling & Polishing Necessary?

Over time, plaque hardens into tartar, which cannot be removed with regular brushing. If left untreated, it can cause inflammation, gum recession, and even tooth loss. Professional scaling gently removes these deposits from the teeth and beneath the gumline, preventing long-term complications. Polishing follows to smoothen the tooth surfaces, making it harder for plaque to adhere, while also restoring the natural shine of your smile.

How Often Should You Get It Done?

Dentists recommend scaling and polishing every six months to maintain optimal oral health. However, for individuals prone to faster plaque buildup, gum sensitivity, or orthodontic treatments, more frequent cleanings may be necessary. Routine professional cleaning not only keeps your teeth looking and feeling fresh but also reduces the risk of more extensive dental treatments in the future.
