Teeth Cleaning & Scaling
Ultrasonic tartar removal and enamel polishing to stop bleeding gums and bad breath.
No matter how well you brush at home, saliva minerals turn plaque into hardened tartar (calculus) that only a dentist can remove. Ultrasonic scaling cleans beneath the gum line, prevents gum disease, and leaves your mouth fresh and clean.

How the treatment is done
Clear, straightforward clinical steps with gentle numbing and zero guesswork.
Oral Exam & Gum Check
We inspect your gums, check for any deep pockets or early cavities, and identify areas with tartar buildup.
Ultrasonic Scaling
A fine vibrating tip with cool water spray gently breaks loose hardened tartar and plaque from tooth surfaces and gum margins.
Stain Removal
Stubborn surface stains from tea, coffee, and food colors are cleaned without scratching your enamel.
Enamel Polishing
A pleasant mint polishing paste is applied to make teeth glassy smooth, making it harder for new plaque to stick.
Key benefits for your health & comfort
Stops Bleeding Gums
Removing bacterial tartar allows inflamed gums to heal, tighten, and stop bleeding within days.
Fresher Breath
Eliminates odor-causing bacteria hiding beneath tartar buildup.
Prevents Tooth Loss
Untreated tartar causes pyorrhea (periodontitis), which loosens teeth. Regular scaling saves your teeth.
Smooth, Clean Feel
Leaves your mouth feeling noticeably lighter, cleaner, and refreshed.
Common myths vs medical facts
Patients often delay care because of widespread misconceptions. Here is the real clinical truth.
“Teeth scaling makes your teeth loose or creates gaps.”
Scaling NEVER makes teeth loose. When severe tartar builds up, it pushes gums down and covers the gaps. When tartar is cleaned away, people feel the existing gap. Removing the tartar is what prevents the tooth from actually falling out.
“Scaling wears down or scratches tooth enamel.”
Ultrasonic scalers only vibrate; they do not cut or scratch enamel. Enamel is the hardest tissue in the human body and is completely safe during scaling.
“You only need teeth cleaning if you have pain.”
Tartar and gum disease develop silently without pain until teeth become loose. Regular 6-month cleanings prevent trouble before it starts.

How often should I get my teeth cleaned?
Dentists recommend a routine scaling and polishing every 6 months to maintain healthy pink gums and prevent cavities.
Will my teeth be sensitive after cleaning?
If you had significant tartar buildup, you might feel slight cold sensitivity for 24 to 48 hours as your gums adjust. This is normal and fades quickly.
Does scaling whiten teeth?
Scaling removes dark tea, coffee, and tobacco stains to reveal your natural tooth shade. For deeper enamel lightening, we offer professional teeth whitening.
