Understand the treatment

What cleaning can do

Scaling removes plaque and tartar using dental instruments. Polishing can remove remaining surface stains.

  • Daily brushing and cleaning between teeth are still essential. Tartar forms when plaque hardens and cannot be brushed away at home. A gum assessment identifies whether routine cleaning is enough or a periodontal treatment plan is needed.

During and after care

Cleaning visits & comfort

Routine cleaning may be completed in one visit, depending on deposits and gum health. More extensive deposits or periodontal disease can need additional appointments and numbing. Temporary sensitivity or gum tenderness can follow cleaning. Tell the clinician about sensitive areas so care can be adjusted.

Keeping plaque under control

Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and clean between teeth using the method demonstrated. Professional cleaning does not replace home care. Follow your individual review schedule and arrange advice if bleeding or sensitivity persists.

Your questions, answered

How often should I have my teeth cleaned?

There is no single interval for everyone. Your dentist recommends a schedule based on gum health, tartar buildup, home care and other risk factors.

Will scaling make my teeth whiter?

Removing surface stains can make teeth look cleaner and brighter. It does not change their underlying shade like a whitening treatment.

Is scaling and polishing painful?

You may feel vibration or sensitivity, especially around inflamed gums. Tell the team if you are uncomfortable; cleaning can be adjusted and numbing discussed when needed.

Do bleeding gums always need deep cleaning?

No. The dentist assesses the gums and any pockets before recommending care. Some cases need improved home cleaning and routine care; others need periodontal treatment.

What if sensitivity or bleeding continues?

Contact the clinic for advice if symptoms persist or concern you. The dentist can review gum health, cleaning technique and whether further treatment is needed.
