Scaling & Polishing

Removing tartar and stains to protect gum health, with Prophy Jet air-polishing where suitable.

Tartar is a hardened deposit on the teeth that brushing cannot remove. It contributes to gum inflammation, bleeding and bad breath.

Scaling removes tartar above and below the gumline, followed by polishing. Where suitable, we use a Prophy Jet, which combines water, air and a special powder to remove stains and biofilm.

Why patients seek this treatment

  • Bleeding gums when brushing
  • Visible tartar or stains from tea, coffee or smoking
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Routine cleaning to maintain gum health

What the first assessment involves

  1. Examining the gums and measuring pockets if needed
  2. Deciding whether routine cleaning or deeper gum therapy is needed
  3. Choosing the suitable polishing method
  4. Brushing and flossing advice and a follow-up date

Questions & answers

Does scaling weaken the teeth?

No. Scaling removes deposits from the tooth surface. Temporary sensitivity can occur, especially when there was a lot of tartar.

How often should I have a cleaning?

It varies from person to person depending on gum health. The dentist recommends a suitable interval.

Is it normal for gums to bleed after a cleaning?

Light bleeding for a day or two is common, especially if the gums were inflamed, and usually settles with regular brushing. If it continues, see the dentist.
