Scaling and Polishing

scaling and polishing includes the procedure in which tooth is cleaned with ultrasonic scalers and then polished to prevent it from further deposit of debris.

Scaling and polishing teeth is a common dental procedure aimed at removing plaque, tartar, and surface stains from the teeth to maintain oral health and enhance aesthetics.

Scaling involves the removal of plaque and tartar buildup from the tooth surfaces, including along the gumline and between teeth, using specialized dental instruments. This helps prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath.

Polishing is the process of smoothing and shining the tooth surfaces using a dental tool and polishing paste. It removes surface stains, making the teeth appear cleaner and brighter.

Overall, scaling and polishing are essential components of routine dental hygiene appointments to keep the teeth and gums healthy and maintain a sparkling smile.
