Scaling and Polishing (The Secret to a Healthy, Fresh Smile)
At Ghani Dental Care, Lahore, we provide professional dental scaling and polishing services designed to remove plaque, tartar (calculus), and surface stains from your teeth. This simple yet highly effective treatment helps you maintain excellent oral hygiene, keeps your gums healthy, and enhances your smile’s natural brightness.
What is Scaling and Polishing?
Scaling and polishing is a professional cleaning procedure performed by your dentist to eliminate stubborn deposits that regular brushing and flossing can’t remove. Scaling targets plaque and tartar, while polishing smooths and shines your teeth to slow future buildup giving you a clean, refreshed mouth.
Why You Need Scaling and Polishing
Even with the best brushing habits, certain areas in your mouth are hard to clean completely. Over time, these hidden deposits harden into tartar, leading to:
- Bleeding or swollen gums
- Gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis)
- Persistent bad breath (halitosis)
- Yellow or discolored teeth
- Tooth mobility or loosening
Regular scaling and polishing helps prevent these dental issues and keeps your teeth and gums strong and healthy.
The Procedure at Ghani Dental Care
Scaling: Our experienced dentists use advanced ultrasonic tools to safely remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line.
Polishing: After scaling, we apply a polishing paste that makes your teeth smooth and shiny, helping delay new plaque buildup.
It’s a painless and gentle procedure, though mild sensitivity may be felt for a day or two afterward.
