A scale and polish can be done by your dentist or hygienist. It will leave your teeth looking tidier and feeling smoother. The purpose of the scale and polish is to remove tartar, plaque and discolouration. Coffee, tea, smoking and red wine are the most common culprits of discolouration. Your teeth will be cleaned with a hand held scaler, ultrasonic device and bicarbonate of soda.
A regular scale and polish is key to your oral health. It will also improve the appearance of your teeth. The scale and polish keeps your mouth healthy and stops any health issues from spreading inside your body.
Scale and polish at PlusTerveys
You cannot remove tartar at home. A scale and polish can only be done at your dental clinic where specially trained staff will use a hand held scaler or ultrasonic device to clear it away.
Professional tools are also needed to remove any discolouration. Air polishing uses bicarbonate of soda to clean your teeth and can leave your teeth looking several shades lighter and your smile much brighter than before.
