What happens, step by step
- Examination
The doctor checks your teeth and gums, with a digital X-ray only if something needs a closer look.
- Ultrasonic scaling
A fine vibrating tip loosens tartar from teeth and below the gum line — no cutting, no drilling.
- Polishing
A soft rotating cup with polishing paste smooths the surfaces so plaque struggles to stick again.
- Advice & plan
You get honest guidance on brushing, and a written plan if anything else needs attention.
Aftercare
- Mild sensitivity for a day or two is normal
- Avoid very hot/cold drinks the same day
- Brush twice daily with a soft brush
- Repeat cleaning every 6 months
Common questions
Does scaling loosen teeth?
No — it removes the tartar that was damaging the support of your teeth. Any 'loose' feeling afterwards is the absence of hardened deposits, and it settles quickly.
How often should I get my teeth cleaned?
Every six months for most people. If you have gum disease, smoke, or build tartar quickly, your dentist may suggest every 3–4 months.
Will cleaning whiten my teeth?
It removes surface stains, so teeth look noticeably fresher — but it does not change the shade of the enamel itself. For that, see our teeth whitening treatment.
