What is Tooth Scaling and Polishing?
Tooth Scaling
Tooth scaling is a non-surgical dental procedure that removes plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) from the surfaces of your teeth. Plaque is a sticky layer of bacteria that constantly forms on your teeth. If not removed, it hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by a dentist or dental hygienist. Scaling is commonly done during routine dental check-ups and is essential for preventing or treating gum disease.
Tooth Polishing
Tooth polishing is usually performed after scaling to smooth the surfaces of your teeth. It removes surface stains and any remaining plaque, making your teeth look cleaner and shinier. Polishing also helps reduce plaque accumulation in the future and can improve the appearance of teeth and dental restorations. This procedure is mostly cosmetic and is done using a small motorized rubber cup (prophy cup) with a mild abrasive polishing paste.
What is Tooth Scaling and Polishing?
Teeth scaling and polishing are suitable for everyone and are typically recommended once every six months to maintain optimal oral health.
These procedures are especially important for individuals who:
- Experience bleeding gums
- Show signs of gum disease, as scaling and polishing can help slow or prevent its progression
- Have bad breath (halitosis)
- Have mobile or loose teeth
Regular professional cleanings help keep your teeth and gums healthy, prevent disease, and ensure a bright, confident smile.
Teeth Scaling and Polishing – Step-by-Step Process
Duration & Frequency
A typical session takes 20–30 minutes, depending on your oral health. The number of sessions required varies based on your individual needs.
Step #1 – Comprehensive Dental Evaluation
Your teeth and gums are examined for decay, weak spots, and early signs of gum disease.
Step #2 – Scaling
Plaque and tartar are carefully removed from your teeth and gumline using an ultrasonic scaler with a thin stream of water. For sensitive teeth, local anaesthesia may be applied for comfort.
Step #3 – Deep Scaling / Root Planing (If Needed)
For patients with gum disease, a deep cleaning beneath the gumline is performed to remove bacteria and tartar, helping restore gum health.
Step #4 – Polishing
Your teeth are polished with a gentle hand tool and special paste to remove surface stains, smooth enamel, and give your teeth a clean, shiny finish.
Step #5 – Fluoride Protection
A protective fluoride coating is applied to strengthen your teeth and help prevent future decay.

Scaling & Polishing Frequently Asked Questions
The cost of teeth cleaning is usually less expensive than other dental treatments for problems that can be avoided with regular teeth cleaning by professional. Our affordable deep cleaning will help you maintain good oral health at a reasonable price.
Normally the procedure is very straight-forward, there will be no pain to remove the superficial tartar deposits on your teeth.
It’s recommended to visit dentists at least once a year for routine check-ups and cleaning. It’s an effective way to prevent various dental issues that may lead to tooth extraction, periodontitis, or tooth decay.
- Plaque: Plaque is a soft, sticky film of bacteria that forms on your teeth every day. It develops when food particles and saliva mix with bacteria in your mouth. If not removed by regular brushing and flossing, plaque can lead to tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease.
- Tartar (Calculus): When plaque is not removed, it hardens over time and turns into tartar. Tartar is a rough, hard deposit that sticks to the teeth and can only be removed by a dentist through professional scaling. Tartar can cause gum inflammation, bad breath, and more serious dental issues if left untreated.
Both plaque and tartar can be effectively removed through professional teeth cleaning, such as routine scaling and polishing or deep teeth cleaning when necessary.
Yes! It’s often recommended to schedule more frequent professional cleanings while wearing braces. Braces can make it easier for plaque and tartar to build up, so regular cleanings help keep your teeth and gums healthy. If your dentist notices any areas of demineralization around your braces, a professional fluoride treatment can help minimize discoloration and reduce the risk of tooth decay.
Yes, you can, but it’s recommended to wait at least 30 minutes after your procedure before eating or drinking, especially if a fluoride treatment was applied. Try to avoid acidic, hot, or hard foods and drinks for a few hours, as your teeth may be slightly sensitive immediately after scaling and polishing.
Before Treatment Tips:
- Brush and Floss: Clean your teeth thoroughly before your appointment to make the cleaning more effective.
- Discuss Concerns: Inform your dentist if you have sensitive gums, dental anxiety, or allergies so the procedure can be adjusted for your comfort.
After Treatment Tips:
- Avoid Staining Foods/Drinks: For the first 24–48 hours, it is best to avoid staining foods and drinks to keep your teeth looking their best.
- Maintain Oral Hygiene: Brush gently, floss daily, and use an antibacterial mouthwash if recommended.
- Follow-Up Care: Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments and consult your dentist if you experience sensitivity or discomfort.
Following these tips helps keep your teeth healthy, clean, and bright after scaling and polishing.

Patient Testimonials
The staff here really go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and at ease. The dentist are simply the best! They are incredibly gentle and really take the time to listen to your concerns and make you feel heard. They gave me the best advice on how to take care of my teeth and I've noticed a huge improvement in my oral health since I started coming here.
One of the things I appreciate most about Dental Hub Clinic is that they are truly focused on saving your teeth rather than just making a profit. You can tell that they genuinely care about their patients and want the best for them. I've been to other dentists before who were more concerned with pushing unnecessary treatments on me, but that is definitely not the case here.
Overall, I can't recommend Dental Hub Clinic enough.
Even the nurses are very kind and friendly, well versed in taking care of the patient. EXCELLENT SERVICE!
I also loved the ambience of the clinic, it’s very beautiful. 10/10 for cleanliness and hygiene.

We had the molar extraction today for my husband and it was done easily, professionally, and economically. We were hesitant at first but gave it a go because of their lenient explanation of the procedure. Unlike other dental clinics, they are not arrogant and they are letting you know what would be the pros and cons. That convinced us to do the procedure with them wholeheartedly. Will definitely recommend.
I highly recommend this place. Dr. Hanah also suggested healthy methods to speed up the healing of extracted teeth gaps & crowns after RCT at the most economically viable options.
I have great experience in this clinic !
Amazing team, know they job !
The best work and recommendations from the professional staff, for a very reasonable price . Gorgeous, thanks!!!!!!!!

Dr Suhail and Dr Hannah came to my rescue. They examined his case and very aptly advised to take out only 1 tooth which was giving the trouble. Dr suhail took the tooth out without any pain. the whole experience was made so much fun for him. I would strongly recommend both of them for their professionalism, care and personal connect
Highly recommended and 10/10 will be back should I need other services.
