Scaling and polishing in Malviya Nagar
Scaling and polishing is a professional cleaning that removes plaque and tartar that brushing cannot reach, helping keep your gums healthy.
Understanding scaling and polishing
Over time, plaque hardens into tartar on and between your teeth. Tartar cannot be brushed away and can irritate the gums, causing bleeding, swelling and bad breath. Scaling removes it, and polishing smooths the tooth surface and removes surface stains, which makes it harder for plaque to build up again.

Advice on brushing, flossing and caring for your gums
A suggested interval for your next clean, if one is needed
Your teeth may feel a little sensitive for a day or two afterwards. A clean does not replace good home care, so ask the dentist for a routine that suits you.
Treatment depends on the individual. Your dentist will examine you and explain whether this suits you. In a medical emergency, go to the nearest hospital.
Common questions
How often should I have my teeth scaled?
It depends on how quickly tartar builds up and the health of your gums. The dentist will advise you.
Does scaling damage the teeth?
No. It removes deposits from the surface. Some temporary sensitivity is possible.
Will it remove stains?
Polishing removes many surface stains. Deeper discolouration needs a different approach, which the dentist can explain.
