Professional teeth cleaning helps prevent these conditions and can stop early changes from progressing.
Your dentist or dental hygienist performs a thorough oral examination, assessing the condition of your teeth and gums. If necessary, a flavoured numbing gel may be applied to ensure maximum comfort during professional teeth cleaning.
A modern ultrasonic scaler is used to gently break up and remove tartar from the tooth surfaces and from below the gum line, without damaging the enamel.
After tartar removal, the teeth are polished using a professional polishing paste and rotary brush. This step, often referred to as scale and polish, smooths the tooth surfaces and helps prevent rapid plaque and tartar buildup. This step removes surface stains (for example from coffee or tea), smooths the enamel and helps achieve a clean, fresh feeling and a brighter smile.
Following polishing, an optional fluoride application may be performed. This helps strengthen tooth enamel, reduce the risk of tooth decay and support long-term protection.
At the end of the appointment, you receive personalised oral hygiene advice to help maintain healthy teeth and gums, along with recommendations for the ideal timing of your next professional teeth cleaning.
One of the most common concerns is discomfort during treatment. Professional teeth cleaning is generally not painful. At most, mild sensitivity may be experienced. For patients with sensitive gums or extensive tartar buildup, numbing gel can be used to ensure a comfortable experience.
