What Is Scaling and Polishing?

Scaling and polishing is a two-step professional cleaning process designed to remove plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth. Over time, even the most diligent brushing and flossing routines can’t remove hardened tartar or reach bacteria trapped in gum pockets. That’s where scaling and polishing come in:

Scaling

This involves the removal of plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth and below the gum line using specialized tools. It’s a thorough cleaning process that helps prevent gum inflammation and other oral health issues.

Polishing

After scaling, your dentist or hygienist will polish your teeth using a special paste to remove surface stains and smooth the enamel. This step not only enhances the appearance of your teeth but also makes it harder for plaque to accumulate in the future.

How Do You Know You Need Scaling and Polishing

Persistent Bad Breath

If bad breath (halitosis) doesn’t go away despite regular brushing, flossing, and mouthwash, it could be a sign of plaque and tartar build-up. Bacteria trapped in these deposits release unpleasant odors, and scaling can address the root cause.

Stubborn Stains

Daily habits like drinking coffee, tea, or smoking can leave stubborn stains on your teeth. These discolorations often resist even the most diligent brushing. Polishing after scaling smooths your tooth surfaces and buffs away stains, restoring a brighter, cleaner look to your smile.

Bleeding or Swollen Gums

Healthy gums shouldn’t bleed when you brush or floss. If you notice bleeding, swelling, or redness, it could be an early sign of gingivitis. Scaling and polishing remove the irritants that cause gum inflammation, preventing it from worsening.

Unexplained Tooth Pain

Tartar build-up can cause minor gaps between your teeth and gums, creating pockets where bacteria thrive. This can lead to infections and discomfort. Regular scaling can prevent these issues and alleviate pain.

During Braces Treatment

Braces, retainers, or other orthodontic appliances can make cleaning your teeth more challenging, leading to plaque accumulation in hard-to-reach areas. A post-treatment scaling and polishing session ensures your teeth and gums remain healthy.

Your Scaling and Polishing Procedure

Examination

Your dentist will assess your teeth and gums to identify areas requiring attention.

Scaling

Using ultrasonic tools or hand instruments, plaque and tartar will be carefully removed from your teeth and gum line.

Polishing

A rotating brush and polishing paste will be applied to give your teeth a smooth, shiny finish.

Post-Treatment

Your dentist will provide tips on maintaining your oral hygiene and when you should schedule your next cleaning.

FAQ on Scaling and Polishing

Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients find scaling and polishing to be comfortable, though some sensitivity may occur, especially if you have gum recession or exposed tooth roots. 

For most people, a professional cleaning every six months is ideal. However, if you’re prone to gum disease or tartar build-up, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits. 

The procedure usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the level of tartar buildup and the condition of your teeth and gums.

Yes! Bad breath is often caused by bacteria and plaque buildup. Scaling removes these, and polishing leaves your teeth smooth, reducing the chances of bacteria sticking to the surface.

After scaling and polishing, avoid eating or drinking anything too hot or cold for a few hours if your teeth feel sensitive. Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily and flossing regularly.

Yes, it is especially important for individuals with braces to get scaling and polishing regularly, as braces can trap food and plaque, increasing the risk of gum disease and cavities.

Shakirin Dental Clinic is highly recommended! just left that day toothache problem due to growing wisdom teeth and swollen gums. At first I just wanted to do a consultation. but after being given a very detailed explanation by the doctor, he decided to extract the tooth because he couldn't stand the pain. after the consultation, immediately pull the tooth. the tooth extraction process does not hurt at all and the doctor is very efficient in doing the job. Alhamdulillah. staff and doctor are very good. sociable. good service very detailed explanation of dental treatment. the price is also affordable. Alhamdulilah thank you for providing the best service and service.

Thank you dr and all the staff for accommodating my tight schedule. The dr took great care to ensure that I was feeling comfortable throughout the procedure.
