Teeth Cleaning & Teeth Polishing

Maintaining oral hygiene goes beyond regular brushing and flossing. Professional teeth cleaning and teeth polishing are essential dental procedures that ensure healthy teeth and a bright smile.

What is Teeth Cleaning ?

Teeth cleaning, also known as scaling, is a dental procedure that removes:

  • Plaque (sticky bacterial film).
  • Tartar (hardened plaque).
  • Stains that regular brushing cannot remove.

What is Teeth Polishing ?

Teeth polishing is a finishing step after cleaning that smoothens the tooth surface and enhances its appearance.

  • Removes surface stains.
  • Gives a shiny, smooth finish to the teeth.

Benefits of Teeth Cleaning & Polishing :

Prevents Gum Disease : Removes plaque and tartar, which cause gingivitis.

Improves Oral Health : Reduces the risk of cavities and bad breath.

Brightens Your Smile : Polishing removes stains for a whiter, healthier appearance.

Smooth Surface : Makes it harder for bacteria and plaque to stick.

Prepares Teeth for Other Treatments : Ideal before teeth whitening or restorative procedures.


Procedure for Teeth Cleaning :

  1. Scaling : A dental scaler is used to remove tartar from above and below the gumline.
  2. Flossing : Removes debris between the teeth.
  3. Rinsing : A water spray clears away loosened particles.

Procedure for Teeth Polishing :

  1. Abrasive Paste : A mildly abrasive paste is applied to the tooth surface.
  2. Polishing Tool : A rubber cup or brush spins to polish teeth.
  3. Final Rinse : Leaves teeth smooth and sparkling clean.

The procedure is painless for most people. Mild discomfort may occur if gums are inflamed or if there’s significant tartar buildup.

No, polishing removes surface stains, while whitening involves bleaching to lighten teeth beyond their natural shade.

When performed by a professional, these procedures are safe and do not harm enamel.
