Do your gums bleed while brushing or flossing?
Are stains or deposits making your smile look dull and lifeless?
These are more than just cosmetic concerns—they could be signs of plaque and tartar buildup, which can lead to gum disease and tooth decay if left untreated. Even with regular brushing and flossing, certain areas of your mouth may still accumulate deposits that only a dental professional can remove effectively.
Plaque is a soft, sticky film made up of saliva, bacteria, and food particles. Over time, it hardens into tartar (calculus), especially near the gum line, creating a breeding ground for bacteria. This can irritate your gums, cause bad breath, and eventually lead to gingivitis or more advanced periodontal disease.
Professional dental cleanings are not just about aesthetics—they’re vital for preventing oral diseases. They help:
Remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing miss
Prevent gum inflammation and bleeding
Eliminate stains caused by coffee, tea, smoking, or certain foods
Freshen your breath and restore your natural smile
Reduce the risk of tooth loss and serious dental complications
Scaling is a deep-cleaning dental procedure that goes beyond the gumline to remove stubborn plaque and tartar. It is especially important for patients showing signs of gum disease.
We use ultrasonic instruments and hand scalers to gently clean the tooth surface and root area, restoring gum health and preventing further damage.
Your mouth will feel fresh and clean
Gums may feel slightly tender or sensitive temporarily
Brushing and flossing will be more effective moving forward
Your dentist may recommend cleanings every 6 months (or more frequently if you have gum issues)

For most people, a cleaning every 6 months is recommended. However, individuals with gum disease may need cleanings every 3–4 months.
Teeth cleaning is typically painless, though you may feel some mild discomfort if there’s heavy tartar buildup or gum inflammation. We use gentle techniques to ensure your comfort.
No, scaling does not loosen teeth. In fact, it helps stabilize them by removing the bacteria causing gum damage. If your teeth feel loose, it’s often due to pre-existing gum disease—not the cleaning itself.
If your gums are inflamed or infected, they may bleed slightly during cleaning. Regular cleanings help reduce this over time.
Delaying cleanings increases your risk of:
Gum disease
Cavities
Bad breath
Tooth loss
Costly dental treatments in the future
