What is Scaling & Polishing?

Scaling and polishing is a dental procedure performed to clean teeth and promote oral health. During scaling, plaque and tartar are removed from the tooth surfaces, especially along the gumline.

Polishing follows, smoothing the tooth surfaces and reducing surface stains. This process helps prevent gum disease, removes surface discoloration, and leaves the teeth feeling clean and smooth.
