Why professional cleaning matters

While daily brushing and flossing are essential, they cannot remove tartar (hardened plaque) that builds up on your teeth and below the gumline. Professional cleaning removes these stubborn deposits that lead to gum disease, tooth decay, and other oral health problems.

Professional scaling reaches deep below the gumline where bacteria hide and cause damage. Regular cleanings prevent serious gum disease, freshen your breath, and keep your natural smile bright and healthy for life.

What we clean

Tartar & calculus removal

Our ultrasonic scalers break up and remove hardened tartar buildup that regular brushing cannot reach, restoring teeth to their natural surface.

Plaque elimination

We remove soft plaque buildup that harbours harmful bacteria, preventing cavities and gum disease before they start.

Stain removal

Professional polishing removes surface stains from coffee, tea, wine, and smoking, leaving your smile visibly brighter and fresher.

Below-the-gumline cleaning

Our dentists carefully scale below your gumline to remove bacteria and buildup that cause gum disease, protecting your gums and bone.

The cleaning process

01

Oral examination

We start by examining your teeth and gums for signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues. This helps us customise your cleaning to your specific needs.

02

Ultrasonic scaling

Our modern ultrasonic scaler vibrates at a frequency that breaks up tartar and calculus buildup on the tooth surface and below the gumline, gently and efficiently.

03

Hand scaling

For stubborn deposits and detailed work, especially below the gumline, our dentist uses hand scalers with precision and care to ensure no buildup is left behind.

04

Polishing

A gentle polishing paste removes any remaining surface stains and leaves your teeth feeling smooth and looking bright. Your smile will feel refreshed and clean.

05

Fluoride treatment

We apply a protective fluoride treatment that strengthens enamel and helps prevent cavities and sensitivity. This extra protection lasts for months.

Frequently asked questions

Most people benefit from professional cleaning every 6 months. However, if you have gum disease, a family history of dental problems, or are prone to tartar buildup, we may recommend cleanings every 3-4 months. During your appointment, we'll assess your needs and suggest the best schedule for you.
No, professional scaling does not damage healthy tooth enamel. Our ultrasonic scalers are designed to remove tartar without harming the tooth structure. Hand scaling is done carefully and precisely by our experienced dentists, using proper technique to ensure your teeth remain safe and healthy.
Professional cleaning is generally painless. You may experience mild sensitivity, especially if you have gum disease or naturally sensitive teeth. We use modern ultrasonic scalers that are gentle and efficient. If you feel any discomfort, let us know — we can adjust our technique or apply a desensitizing agent to make the experience comfortable.
A standard professional cleaning typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on how much tartar buildup you have and your overall gum health. During your first visit or if you haven't had a cleaning in a while, it may take a bit longer. We'll give you an accurate time estimate at the start of your appointment.
The cost of dental cleaning varies based on the extent of buildup, your gum health, and whether additional treatments are needed. At Krishna Dental Clinic, we keep our pricing transparent and affordable. Call us at 086742 44241 for a personalised quote. Your initial consultation is completely free, and we're happy to discuss costs before starting any treatment.
Regular brushing removes soft plaque and food debris from the surface of your teeth, which is essential for daily hygiene. However, tartar (hardened plaque) cannot be removed by brushing alone. Professional scaling uses special tools to break up and remove tartar, especially below the gumline where your toothbrush cannot reach. Regular scaling is critical for preventing gum disease and maintaining long-term oral health.
