Dental Scaling and Polishing
Scaling and Polishing
Scaling and polishing is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to protect your teeth and gums when daily brushing and flossing may not always be enough on their own. Plaque can accumulate in hard-to-reach areas and below the gumline.
At Klinik Pergigian Dens Care, we offer professional scaling and polishing that targets these problem areas, keeping your mouth clean in ways home care alone cannot.
Scaling and Polishing Price
We strive to offer transparent pricing for all our treatments. Our scaling and polishing starts from RM100 per session.
What Is Scaling and Polishing?
Scaling is the process of removing the build up of calculus from the teeth and around the gums. It is typically performed using ultrasonic scalers, which uses high-frequency vibrations and a gentle water spray to break down and flush away plaque and tartar from the teeth and around the gumline.
Supragingival scaling focuses on cleaning above the gumline. This is the most common type of scaling and targets visible plaque and tartar on the tooth surfaces. It helps prevent early gum inflammation and keeps teeth clean and fresh.
Subgingival scaling targets plaque and bacteria below the gumline, where they are harder to see and reach. This type of scaling is especially important for patients with gum disease, bleeding gums, or deeper gum pockets.
After scaling, polishing is done to smooth the tooth surfaces. A special polishing paste and rotating brush are used to gently buff the teeth. While polishing improves the appearance of teeth, its main benefit is preventative. Smoother surfaces reduce the chances of plaque building up quickly after cleaning.
Who Needs Scaling and Polishing?
Scaling and polishing is recommended for adults and teenagers alike, including:
- People with bleeding gums or bad breath
- Patients with braces or dental restorations
- Those with a history of gum disease
- Smokers with stained teeth
Even if your teeth look clean, plaque and tartar can still be present below the gumline.
Preventing Gum Disease with Scaling and Polishing
In the early stages of gum disease, removing plaque from underneath the gums and letting it heal can be enough to reverse gingivitis and restore healthier gums.
For patients with more advanced gum disease, also known as periodontitis, regular scaling combined with deeper cleaning and follow-up maintenance, can help control the condition. This prevents further bone loss, and reduces symptoms like bleeding gums, bad breath, and gum recession. Our dentist can guide you through the steps you need to take to reverse gum disease during your consultation.
What to Expect During Your Scaling and Polishing Appointment
Scaling and polishing usually takes 10 to 30 minutes, depending on how much plaque and tartar have built up and whether the cleaning needs to go slightly below the gumline.
Examination
It starts with a thorough examination of your teeth and gums for plaque buildup, gum inflammation, bleeding, and early signs of gum disease.
Scaling
With an ultrasonic scaler, the dentist carefully removes hardened plaque from the tooth surfaces. You may feel vibrations and light pressure.
Polishing
A rotating brush is used with a gritty polishing paste to smooth the tooth surface. This helps remove surface stains and makes it harder for plaque to stick again
Aftercare
The dentist ensures all deposits have been removed and may point out areas where brushing or flossing can be improved.
Mild tenderness afterward is common, but it usually settles within a day or two especially as your gums begin to heal. In some cases, a fluoride treatment or aftercare advice is given to help protect your teeth and gums further.
