Scaling & Cleaning

Scaling & Cleaning

Scaling and cleaning services is part of our regular oral hygiene procedures that should be done twice a year.

No matter how well you take care of your teeth, some plaque build-up will occur. Each time you eat or drink, colonies of bacteria form in our mouth. Despite best efforts, you can remove some of it by brushing or flossing, or when you use a mouthwash, but you cannot eliminate all of it. This is why it’s so important to see the dentist twice a year. Dental scaling and cleaning will remove the tartar and plaque that builds up in your mouth which otherwise can affect the health of your teeth and gums
