Brushing twice a day is important, but it cannot remove hardened tartar that forms over time. Professional dental cleaning, also known as scaling and polishing, is essential to maintain healthy gums and teeth.

At YOUR DENTIST, Vijayawada, dental cleaning is performed gently using modern equipment to ensure comfort, safety, and long-lasting oral health.

What Is Dental Cleaning (Scaling & Polishing)?

Dental cleaning is a preventive dental procedure that removes:

• Plaque (soft bacterial deposits)

• Tartar (hardened plaque)

• Surface stains from tea, coffee, smoking, and food

Scaling

Removes tartar from tooth surfaces and below the gum line.

Polishing

Smoothens teeth and removes stains, making it harder for plaque to stick again.

Why Dental Cleaning Is Important?

Without regular cleaning, plaque and tartar buildup can cause:

• Bleeding and swollen gums

• Bad breath

• Gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis)

• Loose teeth

• Tooth loss

Regular scaling and polishing help:

• Keep gums healthy

• Prevent gum disease

• Maintain fresh breath

• Reduce the need for complex treatments

Signs You Need Dental Cleaning!

You may need dental cleaning if you notice:

• Bleeding while brushing

• Persistent bad breath

• Yellow or brown deposits on teeth

• Gum swelling or tenderness

• Sensitivity near the gums

Even without symptoms, cleaning every 6 months is recommended.
