SCALING AND POLISHING

Scaling and polishing is procedure that removes dental plaque, tartar and extrinsic stains that are present on the outer surface of the teeth. Scaling and polishing cleans the teeth preventing and controlling the severity of the gum disease. After scaling and polishing, teeth can appear lighter if there are many stains on the outer surface of the teeth. If the intrinsic colour of the teeth is very yellow there will be no changes seen after teeth cleaning as this colour comes from inside the teeth.
