This is a non-surgical procedure to remove dental plaque and calculus on the teeth with different sonic scaler tools. In scaling procedure, the dentist will scrape the plaque from your teeth using hand-held scaler tool. Polishing involves an air-powder polishing tool that has a concentrated spray of air, water, and a very fine powder. The pressure ensures a smooth, clean and polished finish. To maintain good oral health, scaling and polishing is recommended every 6 months.

Deep scaling involves removing bacteria off the roots and cleaning the inside of the gum area. When these areas are cleared of bacteria, the pockets can be reduced and gums will heal, leading to a better dental health. After the procedure, you may feel a bit of discomfort for a couple of days and experience teeth sensitivity for up to a week. The dentist will give you some guidance on managing this situation with aftercare instructions.
