What is scaling, cleaning & gum care?
Even with good brushing, tartar builds up in places your brush can't reach. Professional scaling and polishing removes it, helping prevent gum disease and bad breath.
For bleeding or receding gums we offer deep cleaning and gum treatment, with a home-care plan to keep the results.

Frequently asked questions
Does scaling damage the enamel?
No. Scaling removes hardened deposits, not tooth structure. Teeth may feel different afterwards simply because the tartar is gone.
How often should I get my teeth cleaned?
Most people benefit from a professional cleaning every six months.
