What is Scaling and Polishing?

Scaling and polishing are essential dental procedures that form the foundation of a healthy and radiant smile:

Scaling

Dental scaling involves the removal of plaque, tartar, and stubborn calculus deposits from the surface of your teeth and along the gumline. Even with regular brushing and flossing, these deposits can accumulate over time and lead to various dental issues if not removed professionally.

Polishing

Dental polishing is the process of smoothening the tooth surfaces after scaling, making them less susceptible to plaque accumulation. This step also helps in removing surface stains, giving your teeth a polished and refreshed appearance.

Scaling and polishing is a procedure that removes dental plaque, tartar and extrinsic stains that are present on the outer surface of the teeth. Scaling and polishing cleans your teeth, preventing and controlling the severity of gum diseases.

Need to do scaling & polishing

Dental cleanings involve removing plaque (a soft, sticky layer of bacteria, food & saliva) and hard tartar (calculus) deposits that have built up on the teeth over time. Your teeth are continually bathed in saliva which contains calcium and other substances which help strengthen and protect your teeth. While this is definitely beneficial, it, unfortunately, means that we tend to get a build-up of calcium deposits on the teeth. This chalky substance will build up over time, almost like the limescale deposits at the base of your kettle. Usually, it is tooth colored and can easily be mistaken as part of the teeth, but it can also vary from brown to black in color.

If this tartar is allowed to build up on the teeth, it will, unfortunately, provide the right conditions for bacteria to thrive beside the gums. The purpose of cleaning and polishing is basically to leave the surfaces of the teeth beautifully clean and smooth so that bacteria are unable to stick to them and so provide you a better chance of keeping the teeth clean during your regular daily hygiene regime.

To remove stains caused by food (coffee/tea) or tobacco.
To remove tartar or calculus – this helps prevent gum diseases which are the main cause of gum recession, loose teeth and subsequently, tooth loss.
To allow screening for the oral disease like decay and any cavities.

Procedures which are involved in Scaling & Polishing

Scaling

Specialized instruments are used to gently remove plaque and calculus deposits without harming your teeth. The ultrasonic scaler uses vibrations to loosen hardened tartar that sticks to the teeth/in between teeth. Water spray is also used to wash away the debris. There may be a high pitch buzzing sound heard from the scaler during the scaling process.

Polishing

Advantages of scaling and polishing

Regular scaling and polishing will improve your oral health, clean surface stains and reduce the risk of gingivitis, gum disease and dental decay.

Scaling

Polishing

Polishing is usually carried out after scaling to remove stains and make your teeth feel smooth and shiny. Polishing is done with a soft rubber cup that spins. Prophylaxis paste – a special toothpaste-like material is scooped up into the cup and spun around on the teeth.

Prophyjet polishing uses a pressurized spray of air and water with sodium hydrogen carbonate powder to remove stains, plaque and soft debris from your teeth. It may taste slightly salty.
