A Scale & Polish is a Professional Cleaning Treatment that goes beyond your daily brushing and flossing routine. It is designed to remove the plaque and tartar that can build up on your teeth over time in areas that are often missed by regular brushing.
This Treatment not only leaves your teeth feeling incredibly clean but also plays a critical role in preventing Gum Disease and Cavities.
Our Hygienist, Salo Maistry, combines years of expertise with a gentle, Patient-focused approach. Understanding that each Patient’s needs are unique, Salo takes the time to listen to your concerns and tailor the Treatment to suit you.
Our Practice is equipped with state-of-the-art Technology to ensure that your Scale & Polish is as effective, comfortable, and efficient as possible.
The Scale & Polish Procedure is straightforward and involves two main steps. First a Scaling is performed where Salo uses specialised instruments to gently remove plaque and tartar from the surface of your teeth and around the gumline. This helps you prevent Tooth Decay and promotes Gum Health.
Following the Scaling, the Polishing steps use a high-powered brush and a special toothpaste. This process smooths and polishes the tooth’s surface, making it more difficult for plaque to adhere and leaving your teeth feeling smooth and your breath fresh.
Many Patients are concerned about discomfort during their Dental Treatments. We prioritise your comfort and use gentle Techniques to minimise any discomfort. The majority of Patients report feeling no pain, just slight pressure or vibrations.
If you have sensitive gums, we can apply a topical anaesthetic to ensure a comfortable experience throughout the Procedure.
The frequency of your Scale & Polish Treatments depends on several factors, including your Oral Health status, lifestyle, and the recommendation of Dr Darby-Wade.
Generally, it’s advised to have this Treatment at least twice a year as part of your Regular Dental Check-ups. However, some may benefit from more frequent visits.
Regular Scale & Polish sessions offer numerous benefits, including:
Preparing for your Scale & Polish is simple. Continue your regular Oral Hygiene routine, brushing twice daily and flossing daily.
