PREVENTIVE ORAL HYGIENE

Ultrasonic Scaling & Teeth Polishing

Plaque and hardened tartar (calculus) build up in areas hard for routine toothbrushes to reach, causing bad breath (halitosis) and early gum inflammation (gingivitis). At Healthy Smiles Dental Clinic, Dr. Sheela BDS MDS provides gentle ultrasonic scaling and polishing.

Using high-frequency micro-vibrations and water irrigation, tartar is effortlessly swept away without scraping or damaging natural enamel.

Key Benefits of Professional Teeth Cleaning:

  • Stops Gum Bleeding: Clears tartar under gumlines to stop bleeding and inflammation.
  • Freshens Breath: Eliminates odor-causing bacteria responsible for chronic halitosis.
  • Restores Gum Health: Prevents gingivitis from progressing into destructive periodontitis.
  • Stain Polishing: Smooths enamel surface to resist future stain buildup.

Step-by-Step Teeth Cleaning Process

1. Oral Health Exam

Screening of gums, teeth, and soft tissue to identify tartar pockets and early gingivitis signs.

2. Ultrasonic Scaling

High-frequency sound vibrations dislodge hardened calculus from tooth surfaces and gum margins.

3. Antibacterial Irrigation

Gentle medicinal flushing rinses away remaining plaque micro-particles and soothes gum tissue.

4. Prophy Air Polishing

Fine prophylactic polishing removes surface stains and leaves enamel smooth to resist future plaque.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Teeth Cleaning FAQs

Expert answers regarding dental scaling safety, pain level, and stain removal.

Does teeth scaling make teeth loose or thin?

No! Ultrasonic scaling uses micro-vibrations to loosen tartar without scraping tooth enamel. It strengthens gum attachment by removing disease-causing bacteria.

How often should I get my teeth cleaned professionally?

Dentists recommend professional dental scaling once every 6 months to prevent tartar buildup, gum disease, and bad breath.

Is dental scaling painful?

Routine scaling is virtually painless. Patients with mild gum sensitivity may feel slight tickling sensations, which can be minimized with topical desensitizing gel.

Can teeth cleaning remove tea, coffee, and tobacco stains?

Yes! Professional scaling followed by prophy paste air polishing effectively removes extrinsic stains caused by coffee, tea, and smoking.

Why do my gums bleed during brushing?

Bleeding gums are a primary warning sign of gingivitis caused by plaque buildup. Professional scaling removes the underlying bacteria, restoring healthy pink gums.

How long does a teeth cleaning session take?

A standard ultrasonic scaling and enamel polishing session takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes.

What post-cleaning care should I follow?

Avoid very hot or cold foods for 24 hours if mild sensitivity occurs, and maintain regular morning and night brushing.
