What is Tooth Cleaning Treatment?

Teeth cleaning is a professional dental procedure in which a dentist removes plaque, hardened tartar, and surface stains from the teeth using specialised instruments.

It helps keep the teeth clean, supports healthy gums, and lowers the risk of cavities and gum disease.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is tooth cleaning painful?

No, tooth cleaning is usually not painful. Mild sensitivity or gum tenderness may happen if there is heavy tartar buildup, but it usually settles within a few days.

How often should teeth cleaning be done?

Most dentists suggest professional teeth cleaning every 6 months. If gum problems, bad breath, or heavy tartar are present, more frequent visits may be advised.

Does tooth cleaning remove yellow stains?

Yes, tooth cleaning can remove surface stains caused by tea, coffee, food, or smoking. However, deep internal tooth discolouration may need whitening treatment.

Does scaling damage teeth?

No, scaling does not damage teeth when done by a trained dentist. It removes hardened plaque and tartar that regular brushing cannot clean.

Can tooth cleaning help with bad breath?

Yes, tooth cleaning can help reduce bad breath caused by plaque, tartar, and bacterial buildup. If bad breath continues, the dentist may check for gum disease, cavities, or other oral health issues.
