Teeth Cleaning
Teeth cleaning is a procedure for the removal of plaque that may develop in areas that are difficult to reach in routine tooth brushing.
Professional cleaning includes tooth scaling and tooth polishing and debridement if too much plaque has accumulated. This involves the use of various instruments or devices to loosen and remove deposits from the teeth.
Why is Teeth Cleaning needed?
Careful and frequent brushing with a toothbrush helps to prevent the build-up of plaque bacteria on the teeth. In addition to brushing, cleaning between teeth may help to prevent the build-up of plaque bacteria on the teeth. This may be done with dental floss or interdental brushes.
But in spite of that, 80% of cavities occur in the grooves of the chewing surfaces of the teeth, and there is no evidence currently showing that normal at-home flossing reduces the risk of cavities in these areas.
When plaque buildup has increased and hardened too much, it becomes necessary to get the teeth cleaned professionally, where special tools may be used to supplement tooth brushing and flossing.

Scaling is a procedure involving removal of dental plaque and scales and then smoothing, or planing, of the (exposed) surfaces of the roots, to remove toxins or microorganisms that cause inflammation.
Tooth polishing is done to smooth the surfaces of teeth and restorations. The purpose of polishing is to remove external stains, remove dental plaque accumulation, to increase aesthetics and to reduce corrosion of metallic restorations. Tooth polishing is usually done as a cosmetic procedure after debridement and before fluoride application.
