Scaling is a procedure that removes dental plaque, tartar and extrinsic stains that are present on the outer surface of the teeth. This procedure needs to be repeated every six months as it prevents and controls the severity of gum diseases. During the scaling procedure your dentist reviews your teeth and it helps in early diagnosis of dental diseases such as decay.

Air polishing is one of the dental treatments done to quickly and effectively remove unwanted severe stains that could not completely be removed during the scaling procedure. This procedure involves using a jet of compressed air, water and fine powder particles to thoroughly and gently remove stains caused by coffee, red wine, tea, tobacco as well as those caused by certain mouthwashes.
