Scale and Polish – The Secret to a Clean, Healthy Smile
Scale and polish is a preventive dental treatment designed to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains from your teeth. At Dental Clinic Turkey, our professional hygiene team delivers pain-free, deep cleaning sessions to help you maintain optimal oral health and a brighter smile.
Why Do You Need a Scale and Polish?
Even with daily brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas. If left untreated, this can lead to:
- Gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis)
- Bad breath (halitosis)
Tooth discoloration - Tooth decay and sensitivity
- Regular scale and polish treatments every 6 months are essential to prevent these issues.
What Does the Treatment Involve?
Scaling:
Using ultrasonic instruments, we gently remove tartar and plaque from the teeth and gum line.
Polishing:
After scaling, your teeth are polished with a rotating brush and special paste to smooth the surfaces and remove surface stains.
Fluoride (Optional):
A fluoride application may be offered to strengthen enamel and reduce sensitivity.
The procedure takes around 20–30 minutes, is completely painless, and leaves your mouth feeling fresh and clean.
