What is a Scale and Polish?

A Scale and Polish is a routine dental procedure that involves:

Scaling: Removing plaque and tartar from the tooth surfaces and beneath the gum line using specialised instruments.
Polishing: Smoothing the tooth surfaces to make it more difficult for plaque to accumulate, often leaving teeth looking brighter.

This procedure not only enhances the appearance of your teeth but also plays a crucial role in preventing gum disease and maintaining overall oral health.
