About Dental Cleaning (Scale & Polish)
Professional dental cleaning removes plaque, tartar (calculus), and stains from teeth. A dental hygienist uses ultrasonic instruments and hand tools to clean above and below the gumline. It is recommended every 6 months to prevent gum disease and cavities.
What to Expect
The hygienist uses a scaler to remove tartar, polishes teeth with a gritty paste, and flosses. The procedure is mostly painless. You may experience sensitivity during cleaning if there is significant tartar buildup.
