What Is Scaling and Polishing?

Scaling and polishing is a professional dental cleaning procedure that removes hardened plaque (tartar), surface stains, and bacteria from your teeth and gums. While brushing and flossing help maintain daily hygiene, only scaling can effectively clean areas below the gumline and between tight spaces. Polishing follows scaling to smooth the enamel and restore a clean, shiny finish leaving your smile healthier, brighter, and more protected against gum disease and decay.

Diabetes

History of gum disease or decay
Bad breath
