Dental scaling and polishing

Dental Scaling and Polishing Singapore

Scaling is the process used to remove the hard tartar that has formed on your teeth, while polishing helps clean up stains on your teeth. It is a procedure for removing dental plaque and calculus that cause inflammation and bad breath. In teeth scaling and polishing, the dentist removes all the tartar from the tooth surfaces to free your teeth from bacteria and germs.

What is scaling and polishing Singapore?

Scaling is the process used to remove the hard tartar that has formed on your teeth, while polishing helps clean up stains on your teeth. Together, these two procedures clean your teeth to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Regular scaling is highly recommended, as it helps to prevent bad breath and gum disease. Teeth cleaning in Singapore through the dental scaling and polishing process offers numerous smile benefits and makes your smile precious and confident.

If you have gum disease, a procedure called ‘root planing’ might be necessary, where our dentist helps you remove tartar that has gathered at the root of your teeth near the gums. This treatment can be slightly uncomfortable.

Fluoride treatment is often done after scaling and polishing.

How frequently should I have scaling and polishing done?

It may vary with each individual’s unique needs. In general, it is recommended every six months during a routine dental check-up, but if you have a history of gum disease or other oral health issues, your dentist may suggest more frequent sessions.

Can scaling and polishing be painful?

The procedure is not painful, and you may experience some mild discomfort if you have tooth sensitivity. Local anaesthesia is not typically required for scaling and polishing.

How long does the process take?

Usually, the duration of scaling and polishing depends on the amount of plaque and tartar buildup on the teeth and the overall oral health of the patient. On average, the process may take about 30 to 45 minutes.

Can scaling damage the teeth?

This procedure should be performed under the guidance of a trained dentist or dental hygienist. Also, scaling does not damage the teeth. It helps remove the deposited tartar from the teeth, improving your oral health.
