Teeth cleaning, clinically known as scaling and polishing, is a fundamental preventative procedure designed to eliminate hardened dental plaque (calculus or tartar) and microbial biofilm that daily brushing cannot reach. Over time, bacterial plaque calcifies beneath and along the gumline, leading to gingivitis, chronic bad breath, enamel discoloration, and periodontal bone loss. Through state-of-the-art ultrasonic debridement and gentle microscopic polishing, scaling clears bacteria, restores pink healthy gums, and leaves teeth silky smooth.
