Scaling & Polishing
Deep cleaning that removes plaque and tartar buildup, leaving teeth healthier, brighter and fresher.
Treatment Overview
Scaling removes plaque and hardened tartar that brushing cannot, and polishing smooths the tooth surface so it stays cleaner for longer. Regular professional cleaning supports healthy gums and a fresher, brighter-looking smile, and your dentist can show you how to look after your teeth between visits.
