WHY IT MATTERS
Even careful brushing leaves something behind
No matter how well you brush, some plaque hardens into tartar — a rough deposit that traps stains and bacteria and that a toothbrush simply can’t remove. Left alone it leads to bleeding gums, bad breath and gum disease. A professional scaling and polishing clears it away safely, leaving your teeth cleaner and smoother, your gums healthier, and your smile visibly brighter and fresher.
THE BASICS
What is scaling and polishing?
Scaling is the professional removal of plaque and hardened tartar from your teeth and along the gum line, usually with a gentle ultrasonic scaler. Polishing then smooths and cleans the surfaces, removing surface stains and making it harder for plaque to stick again — the core of a professional dental cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Does scaling damage or weaken teeth?
- No. Done properly, scaling only removes tartar and stains and does not harm healthy enamel. It's one of the safest, most routine dental procedures.
- Does scaling loosen teeth?
- No. Teeth may feel slightly loose right after, because thick tartar around them has been removed. As the gums heal over the next couple of weeks, teeth actually feel firmer.
- Is scaling painful?
- It's generally painless — most people feel only mild vibration and a cool water spray. Sensitive areas can be kept comfortable.
- Will scaling create gaps between my teeth?
- Any gaps were already there, hidden by tartar. They're usually temporary and close up as your gums heal after the tartar is removed.
- How often should I get my teeth cleaned?
- Most people benefit from a professional cleaning every 6 to 12 months. If you have gum disease or build tartar quickly, we may suggest doing it a little more often.
- Does teeth cleaning whiten teeth?
- Scaling and polishing removes surface stains from tea, coffee and tobacco, so teeth look noticeably cleaner and brighter — though it's different from whitening, which lightens the natural tooth colour.
- Why do my gums bleed, and will cleaning help?
- Bleeding gums are usually a sign of plaque and tartar irritating the gums (gingivitis). A professional cleaning removes the cause, and with good home care the bleeding usually settles.
