Professional cleaning for a fresh, plaque-free, and healthy smile.

A bright and healthy smile begins with proper oral hygiene. At Meenakshi Dental Clinic, we offer professional teeth cleaning and polishing services to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains, giving you a fresh and confident smile. This essential dental care procedure ensures better oral health and prevents common dental problems such as cavities and gum disease.

What is Teeth Cleaning and Polishing?

Teeth cleaning and polishing is a two-step preventive dental procedure:

• Teeth Cleaning (Scaling): This process involves removing plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth and gum line using advanced ultrasonic scalers. Tartar buildup can lead to gum disease if left untreated.
• Teeth Polishing: After scaling, the teeth are polished using a special paste and a rotating brush. This step helps remove surface stains, smoothens the teeth, and gives them a naturally clean appearance.

Benefits of Professional Teeth Cleaning and Polishing

• Removes Plaque and Tartar: Even with regular brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar accumulate over time. Professional cleaning ensures complete removal.
• Prevents Gum Disease: Reduces the risk of gingivitis and periodontitis by keeping gums healthy and infection-free.
• Brightens Your Smile: Removes surface stains caused by coffee, tea, smoking, and other factors, making your teeth appear whiter and shinier.
• Freshens Breath: Eliminates bad breath caused by bacteria buildup and food particles trapped in hard-to-reach areas.
• Reduces Risk of Cavities: Plaque buildup can lead to tooth decay. Regular cleaning minimizes this risk, keeping your teeth strong.
• Enhances Overall Oral Health: Helps maintain healthy teeth and gums, preventing costly dental treatments in the future.

How the Procedure Works

1. Initial Examination: Our dentist assesses your oral health and checks for any signs of gum disease or cavities.
2. Scaling Process: Using an ultrasonic scaler, plaque and tartar are gently removed from the tooth surface and gum line.
3. Polishing: A special polishing paste is applied to remove stains and give your teeth a smooth, shiny finish.
4. Fluoride Treatment (Optional): In some cases, a fluoride application is recommended to strengthen the teeth and prevent cavities.
5. Post-Treatment Advice: Our dentist provides guidance on maintaining oral hygiene to prolong the effects of the cleaning.

Who Needs Teeth Cleaning and Polishing?

• Individuals with plaque and tartar buildup
• People experiencing bad breath or gum bleeding
• Those who consume coffee, tea, or tobacco regularly
• Anyone who wants a brighter, healthier smile

How Often Should You Get Teeth Cleaning and Polishing?

It is recommended to have a professional cleaning every 6 months. However, some individuals with gum disease or higher tartar buildup may need more frequent sessions based on the dentist’s advice.
