SCALING & POLISHING
Freshen Up Your Smile with Scaling & Polishing
Maintain a Healthy Smile with Scaling and Polishing at QC Dental
At QC Dental, we believe that maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for a healthy and beautiful smile. One of the fundamental procedures we offer to support your oral health is scaling and polishing. This routine dental treatment effectively removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains, keeping your teeth and gums in excellent condition.
What Is Scaling and Polishing?
Scaling and polishing is a preventive dental procedure which cleans your teeth and gums thoroughly.
- Scaling: This process involves removing plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) from the surfaces of your teeth and below the gum line. Our dental professionals use specialized tools to carefully clean these areas, preventing gum disease and tooth decay.
- Polishing: After scaling, your teeth are polished to remove surface stains and make them smooth. This step not only enhances the appearance of your teeth but also makes it more difficult for plaque to accumulate in the future.
Benefits of Scaling and Polishing
Prevents Gum Disease
Regular scaling and polishing help prevent gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis) by removing the buildup of plaque and tartar that can cause inflammation and infection.
Improves Oral Health
This treatment reduces the risk of cavities and tooth decay by eliminating harmful bacteria and plaque from your teeth and gums.
Enhances Appearance & Freshens Breath
Polishing removes surface stains caused by foods, drinks, and smoking, leaving your teeth looking cleaner and brighter. Removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria helps to eliminate bad breath, giving you a fresher, more pleasant oral environment.
Promotes Overall Health
Maintaining good oral hygiene through regular scaling and polishing can contribute to better overall health, as poor oral health has been linked to various systemic conditions, including heart disease and diabetes.
The Scaling and Polishing Process
01
Initial Examination
Your visit will begin with a thorough examination of your teeth and gums by our dental professionals. This helps us identify any areas of concern and tailor the treatment to your specific needs.
02
Scaling
Using specialized instruments, we will gently remove plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth and below the gum line. This may include ultrasonic scalers, which use vibrations to break up tartar, and hand scalers for precise cleaning.
03
Polishing
After scaling, we will polish your teeth using a special paste and a rotating brush. This step smooths the surfaces of your teeth, removing any remaining stains and giving your teeth a shiny, clean appearance.
04
Aftercare Advice
Our dental professionals will provide you with personalized advice on maintaining good oral hygiene at home, including proper brushing and flossing techniques, as well as dietary recommendations to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
How Often Should You Have Scaling and Polishing?
The frequency of scaling and polishing treatments depends on your individual oral health needs. For most people, it is recommended to have this procedure every six months as part of their routine dental check-ups. However, if you have a history of gum disease or other oral health issues, more frequent visits may be necessary.
