Teeth Scaling, Cleaning & Polishing

The Foundation of a Healthy Smile

At Dental Strings, we believe that prevention is better than cure. While daily brushing and flossing are essential, they are not always enough to remove stubborn plaque and hardened tartar (calculus) that accumulates over time. Our professional Teeth Scaling and Polishing service is designed to deep clean your teeth, protecting your gums and keeping your breath fresh.

Why Brushing Isn’t Enough

Saliva contains calcium which helps strengthen teeth, but it also causes plaque to harden into a substance called tartar or calculus. once tartar forms, it bonds firmly to the tooth surface and cannot be removed by brushing alone. If left untreated, this buildup leads to:

• Gingivitis: Red, swollen, or bleeding gums.

• Periodontitis: Advanced gum disease that can lead to bone loss and tooth mobility.

• Bad Breath (Halitosis): Caused by bacteria trapped in the tartar.

Our Cleaning Process

1. Ultrasonic Scaling We use advanced ultrasonic scalers that vibrate at high speeds to gently and effectively break down hardened tartar deposits.

• Deep Cleaning: This process removes debris from between the teeth and just below the gum line, areas that your toothbrush cannot reach.

• Painless Technology: Our modern equipment ensures the procedure is comfortable and efficient, minimizing sensitivity.

2. Prophylactic Polishing After scaling, your teeth may feel slightly rough. We follow up with professional polishing using a special dental paste and a soft rubber cup.

• Stain Removal: This step effectively removes surface stains caused by tea, coffee, turmeric, and tobacco.

• Smooth Finish: Polishing leaves the enamel smooth, making it harder for new plaque and bacteria to stick to your teeth.

Benefits of Professional Cleaning

• Healthier Gums: Prevents bleeding gums and reverses early gum disease.

• Fresher Breath: Eliminates the bacteria that cause bad odors.

• Brighter Smile: Removes external stains, instantly making your teeth look cleaner and whiter.

• Cavity Prevention: By removing plaque, we reduce the risk of tooth decay.

How Often Should You Visit?

For most patients, we recommend a professional cleaning and check-up every 6 months. However, if you have a history of gum disease or wear braces, we may recommend more frequent visits to ensure optimal oral health.
