Scaling & Polishing for a Brighter, Healthier Smile

What is Scaling & Polishing?

Scaling and polishing are essential dental procedures aimed at removing plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth, promoting overall oral hygiene. Scaling involves cleaning the teeth below the gum line to remove hardened plaque (tartar) that cannot be eliminated with regular brushing. Polishing follows scaling and is designed to smooth the surfaces of your teeth, removing surface stains and leaving your teeth looking brighter and feeling smooth.

At Shri Ram Dental Care, we offer these services to improve the health of your gums and teeth, prevent gum disease, and give you a sparkling smile.

Why Scaling & Polishing is Important for Your Oral Health

Regular scaling and polishing offer numerous benefits for your oral health, including:

• Prevents Gum Disease

  Scaling removes plaque and tartar buildup, which are major contributors to gum disease, helping to keep your gums healthy and free from infection.

• Prevents Cavities

  By removing plaque, scaling helps reduce the risk of cavities, as plaque contains bacteria that contribute to tooth decay.

• Whitens Teeth

  Polishing removes surface stains caused by food, beverages, and tobacco, leaving your teeth brighter and shinier.

• Improves Bad Breath

  Removing plaque and bacteria from your teeth and gums helps eliminate the cause of bad breath (halitosis).

• Smoother Teeth

  Polishing leaves your teeth smooth, making it harder for plaque and bacteria to stick to the surface, promoting longer-lasting oral health.

The Scaling & Polishing Process

The scaling and polishing procedure is quick, painless, and highly effective in improving your oral hygiene. Here's what to expect:

1. Initial Consultation

   We will examine your teeth and gums to determine the amount of plaque and tartar buildup, ensuring that scaling and polishing are the right treatments for you.

2. Scaling

   Using an ultrasonic scaler or hand instruments, we will carefully remove the tartar and plaque from your teeth and under the gum line. The ultrasonic scaler uses vibrations to break up plaque and tartar while water cools the scaler and flushes away debris.

3. Polishing

   After scaling, we polish the teeth using a special paste that removes surface stains and leaves your teeth feeling smooth and clean. Polishing also helps to create a smooth surface that resists future plaque buildup.

4. Post-Treatment Care

   We will provide you with tips on maintaining proper oral hygiene, including the importance of brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash. We may also recommend a regular schedule for scaling and polishing based on your oral health needs.
