Teeth Cleaning / Scaling
Remove plaque, hardened tartar, and surface stains with professional cleaning tailored to your gum health and preventive care needs.
Treatment Overview
What is Teeth Cleaning / Scaling?
Teeth cleaning, also known as scaling, is a professional dental procedure that removes plaque, tartar or calculus, and surface stains from the teeth. It helps maintain healthy gums, reduce the risk of gum disease, and keep the smile fresh and clean. At Dwiti Speciality Dental Clinic, we use modern instruments and gentle techniques to provide comfortable and effective cleaning tailored to each patient's gum health.
Common Signs & Symptoms
Yellow or brown tartar deposits on teeth
Bleeding gums while brushing or flossing
Persistent bad breath or halitosis
Swollen, red, or tender gums
Gum recession or loose teeth in advanced cases
Surface stains associated with tea, coffee, or smoking
Who Can Benefit?
Patients due for a routine dental examination and cleaning
Patients with plaque or tartar buildup
People experiencing bleeding gums or persistent bad breath
Smokers and frequent tea or coffee drinkers
Patients with early gum disease or gingivitis
Patients with braces, implants, crowns, or bridges requiring professional maintenance
Treatment Procedure
Simple, clear, and carefully guided
1
Oral examination and assessment of plaque, tartar, and gum health
2
Gum-pocket measurements and X-rays when clinically indicated
3
Removal of deposits with ultrasonic and hand instruments
4
Root planing below the gumline when periodontal treatment is required
5
Polishing where appropriate and personalized home-care guidance
Benefits
How this treatment helps
Helps control gingivitis and periodontal disease
Reduces many external surface stains
Improves access for an accurate dental examination
Supports fresher breath and easier home care
Recovery & Aftercare
What to expect after treatment
Teeth generally feel cleaner and smoother after treatment.
Mild gum tenderness or tooth sensitivity can occur for a day or two.
Gum bleeding should reduce as inflammation settles and daily plaque control improves.
Maintain twice-daily brushing, daily interdental cleaning, and any personalized home-care advice.
Attend future examinations and cleaning visits at the interval recommended for your oral-health needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about Teeth Cleaning / Scaling
Is routine cleaning the same as scaling and root planing?
No. Routine cleaning removes deposits for preventive care. Scaling and root planing is a deeper treatment below the gumline for patients diagnosed with periodontal disease.
Will scaling damage or loosen my teeth?
Scaling removes deposits attached to the teeth; it does not remove healthy tooth structure. Teeth affected by advanced gum disease may already be mobile once the supporting tissues have been damaged.
How often should teeth be professionally cleaned?
There is no single interval for everyone. Recall frequency is based on plaque control, gum condition, decay risk, medical factors, smoking, restorations, and previous periodontal disease.
