Teeth Cleaning (Scaling & Polishing) in Lucknow
Professional cleaning and check-ups to keep teeth and gums healthy
Scaling removes hardened plaque (tartar) that brushing cannot, and polishing smooths the teeth and removes surface stains. With regular check-ups, it is one of the simplest ways to prevent dental problems.
What is scaling and polishing?
Plaque is a sticky layer of bacteria that forms on the teeth every day. If it is not removed, it hardens into tartar (calculus), which irritates the gums and can lead to bleeding and gum disease.
During scaling, ultrasonic and hand instruments remove tartar above and just below the gumline; polishing then smooths the teeth. A check-up at the same visit helps spot decay and gum problems early.

Tartar (calculus)
