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.

I went to the clinic because I was having toothaches, and after seeing the doctor, I learned that my tooth was decaying and that I would need to have it extracted. I was terrified of the pain, but Dr. Nancy and the staff made the process go very smoothly, and even though I have a small daughter, I didn't have to take any medication. I am really grateful for that.

I had free therapy; thank you very much ma'am.
