Scaling and polishing are two of the most common dental procedures that help in preventing dental diseases.

These procedures are done to make your tooth enamel glossy and smooth. The pairing of scaling and polishing will not only help you avoid tooth decay but also freshen your breath, and remove plaque and tartar.

These procedures are simple and quite straightforward.

First, your teeth are inspected for decay and weak spots in the enamel. Then, plaque and tartar are scraped from the surface of your teeth with a dental drill and a rubber cup. The cup is dipped in a slightly abrasive polishing paste to clean and polish the teeth.

The dental care experts in Williamstown Road Dental Surgery have performed this procedure many times so their patients can have healthy and beautiful teeth.

We believe that teeth aren’t simply for eating. They are one of the first things people see when you meet and greet them.

A white, healthy smile is important to make a first impression, as well as help you feel confident and happy.
