Understanding the treatment
Scaling is one of the best-known dental treatments. It helps prevent periodontal disease and maintain healthy teeth and gums. Regular scaling removes tartar, the hard substance that forms when plaque builds up and mineralises on teeth.
Scaling is a quick, painless process. The dentist gently removes tartar with specialised instruments, then polishes the teeth to limit future plaque build-up. A professional rinse completes the procedure, leaving teeth cleaner and healthier.
Regular scaling brightens your smile by removing surface stains from coffee, tea or tobacco. Removing plaque also helps prevent decay, keeping teeth cleaner and healthier.
