About Scaling & Polishing
Professional dental scaling removes hardened tartar (calculus) from tooth surfaces and below the gumline that cannot be removed by brushing alone. Polishing follows to smooth surfaces and remove stains, leaving teeth clean and bright. Regular scaling every 6 months is the single most effective way to prevent gum disease (periodontitis), which is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults.
