Professional teeth cleaning (oral prophylaxis) removes hardened plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing cannot remove at home. At Rajan Dental in Chennai, dental scaling helps prevent gum disease, bad breath, and tooth loss.
- Why it’s needed: Plaque quickly matures into hard tartar that traps bacteria, leading to bleeding gums, gum disease, decay, and bad breath.
- What we do: We examine your teeth and gums, use an ultrasonic scaler to gently remove deposits above and below the gum line, then polish your teeth.
- How often: Usually once or twice a year, depending on your gum health and risk factors.
- Myth vs fact: Teeth cleaning does not damage enamel or create gaps; it only removes tartar that was already harming your teeth and gums.
Results you can expect
- The mouth feels cleaner.
