Teeth Cleaning and Scale & Polish at Clowne Dental Practice
Regular dental cleanings play a vital role in preventing problems with your teeth and gums. At Clowne Dental Practice, our experienced dental hygiene therapists encourage patients to book routine appointments for professional cleanings.
During these visits, any hard-to-reach dental plaque and calculus (tartar) are gently removed through a scale and polish procedure. This helps prevent the build-up from causing tooth decay and gum disease, protecting your oral health in the long term.
Good brushing and flossing at home are equally important. Our dental hygiene therapists provide personalised advice and coaching to improve your daily oral hygiene habits. With proper technique and regular professional care, you can maintain a healthy, bright smile and avoid unnecessary treatments.
How often should I have a teeth cleaning or scale & polish?
We advise patients to have these treatments every six months or as recommended by their dental team.
Is a scale and polish painful?
The procedure is usually comfortable, though some patients with sensitive gums may experience slight discomfort.
What is the difference between a scale and a polish?
Scaling removes hardened plaque (calculus), while polishing smooths and brightens the tooth surfaces.
Will a cleaning remove stains from teeth?
Yes, professional polishing can help remove surface stains and leave your teeth feeling smooth.
Can regular cleanings prevent gum disease?
Yes, removing plaque and tartar regularly helps prevent gum disease and supports overall oral health.
