Scaling, Polishing & Deep Curettage
Professional removal of plaque, tartar, and staining above and below the gumline — essential for preventing gum disease and keeping your mouth healthy.
Even with excellent brushing and flossing, plaque can harden into calculus (tartar) in hard-to-reach areas. Professional scaling removes this buildup above and below the gumline — preventing gum disease, bad breath, and tooth loss.
Why Regular Scaling Matters
Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Early intervention with professional cleaning prevents irreversible bone and tissue destruction.
Common Questions
Is deep curettage the same as a normal clean?
No. Standard polishing removes surface deposits above the gumline. Deep curettage removes hardened deposits from below the gumline and smooths root surfaces — it is a treatment for gum disease.
Will it be sensitive afterwards?
Some temporary sensitivity is normal after scaling. It typically settles within a few days and can be managed with sensitivity toothpaste.
