Common FAQ’S
Q: Is scaling and polishing painful?
A: Most people feel little to no discomfort. If you have sensitive gums, we can use numbing gel.
Q: How is this different from regular brushing?
A: Regular brushing can’t remove hardened tartar. Professional tools reach areas your toothbrush can’t.
Q: Will my teeth be whiter after polishing?
A: Polishing removes surface stains, so your teeth will look brighter and feel smoother, though it’s not the same as teeth whitening.
Q: How often should I get scaling and polishing?
A: Every 6 months for most people. If you have gum disease or heavy buildup, we may recommend more frequent visits.
