Scaling and Polishing at Unique Dental Clinic, Kota Kinabalu
At Unique Dental Clinic Kota Kinabalu, we provide professional scaling and polishing treatments to help you maintain optimal oral hygiene. Scaling and polishing, also referred to as teeth scale and polishing, is a preventive dental procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and stains for a healthier, brighter smile.
What is Scaling and Polishing?
Scaling and polishing is a common dental procedure designed to clean teeth thoroughly and prevent gum disease. Scaling removes hardened plaque (calculus or tartar) from the teeth, especially below the gum line, while polishing smooths the tooth surface to make it more resistant to future plaque buildup.
Types of Scaling and Polishing Procedures
We offer different methods of scaling and polishing, depending on your oral health needs:
Manual Scaling
Traditional hand instruments are used to scrape away tartar buildup.
Ultrasonic Scaling
Uses high-frequency vibrations to remove plaque and tartar efficiently, often combined with water spray for rinsing.
Polishing
After scaling, a polishing paste is applied using a rotating rubber cup to remove surface stains and smoothen the teeth.
