What is Scaling & Polishing?

Quick Summary: Teeth scaling is the professional removal of plaque and tartar (calculus) from the teeth and gums using ultrasonic tools. Polishing smooths the enamel surfaces and removes external stains (from tea, coffee, smoking), leaving the teeth clean and smooth.

Scaling is the professional removal of tartar (calculus) and plaque from tooth surfaces and below the gumline using ultrasonic instruments. Polishing follows to smooth tooth surfaces and remove surface stains, leaving your teeth clean, bright, and fresh.

At Mamun's Ortho Dental in Lalmatia, Dhaka, we recommend professional scaling every 6 months as part of a preventive care routine.
