Scaling & Polishing

Concerned about build-up or surface stains? Arrange a cleaning appointment and practical guidance for caring for your teeth between visits.

YOUR DENTAL HEALTH

Understanding Scaling & Publishing

Scaling removes hardened deposits from teeth, while polishing can remove surface staining. Professional cleaning complements the care you give your mouth at home.

The right approach depends on the condition of your gums and any sensitivity. A routine clean and treatment for more advanced gum problems are not interchangeable.

When to Arrange a Visit

WHAT TO EXPECT

Your Visit, Step by Step

Knowing what is involved can make it easier to plan. Your dentist will explain the approach recommended for your own circumstances.

01

Discuss gum health

Tell the clinician about bleeding, discomfort and sensitive areas before cleaning starts.

02

Remove deposits

Suitable instruments are used to clean away build-up. The approach is adapted to the areas needing attention.

03

Plan care at home

Discuss cleaning between the teeth, difficult-to-reach areas and any follow-up gum care.

Make an Informed Choice

Your Treatment, Your Next Steps

Options & Considerations

Cleaning is different from whitening: it removes deposits and surface stains rather than changing the natural shade of a tooth. Sensitivity and gum concerns should be discussed before and during the visit.

Aftercare & Follow-up

Continue your daily brushing and between-teeth cleaning as advised. A professional clean does not replace home care, and the frequency of future visits should reflect your needs.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before Your Appointment

Removing surface stains can change how clean teeth look, but scaling is not a whitening treatment and does not change their underlying colour.

Bleeding needs assessment. The clinician can explain whether routine cleaning or a more involved gum-care plan is appropriate.

Tell the clinician which areas bother you. Discuss comfort measures and speak up during the visit rather than trying to tolerate discomfort.
