Dental scale and polish is a routine dental procedure performed to maintain oral health and hygiene. Scaling involves the removal of plaque and tartar buildup from the surfaces of the teeth and below the gumline using specialized instruments. Tartar, also known as calculus, is hardened plaque that cannot be removed by regular brushing and flossing, and its removal is essential to prevent gum disease and other oral health issues.
Polishing follows scaling and involves using a rotating brush and a special polishing paste to smooth the surfaces of the teeth. This process helps remove any remaining stains and provides a smooth, shiny finish. Dental scaling and polishing also help to prevent tooth decay and gum disease by reducing the buildup of harmful bacteria and ensuring that the teeth and gums are clean and healthy. Regular scaling and polishing, along with good oral hygiene practices, are crucial for maintaining optimal dental health and preventing oral health problems.
