Scaling and Polishing

Professional teeth cleaning in Nairobi to remove plaque, tartar and surface stains while keeping your smile fresh and your gums healthy.

Professional Teeth Cleaning in Nairobi

Enamel Elegance offers teeth scaling and polishing helps remove plaque, tartar and surface stains that can build up around your teeth and gumline. Regular scaling and polishing can help maintain cleaner teeth, fresher breath and healthier gums. It is also an important part of preventive dental care, particularly if plaque and tartar build up quickly.

If you have heavy tartar accumulation, bleeding gums or signs of gum disease, you may require a more comprehensive periodontal treatment rather than routine cleaning alone.

Why Tooth Cleaning?

Even with good brushing and flossing, plaque can harden into tartar in areas that are difficult to clean at home. We recommend scaling and polishing as regular dental habit to protect the mouth against various issues. 

  • Visible tartar or calculus around your teeth.
  • Plaque buildup along the gumline.
  • Surface stains caused by foods and drinks.
  • Persistent bad breath.
  • Teeth that feel rough or coated.
  • Gums that bleed during brushing or flossing.
  • A need for regular preventive dental cleaning.

Routine cleaning is not the same as deep dental scaling for tartar removal. If tartar extends below the gumline or there are signs of periodontal disease, your dentist may recommend a more advanced treatment such as deep scaling or scaling and root planing.

A Healthy Smile Starts with Cleaning

Routine dental cleaning can make a noticeable difference to the appearance and feel of your teeth by removing deposits and surface stains that regular brushing cannot fully eliminate.

FAQs

Your questions on dental cleaning in Kenya answered.
What is scaling and polishing?
Scaling and polishing is a professional dental cleaning procedure. Scaling removes plaque and hardened tartar, while polishing helps remove surface stains and leaves the teeth smoother.
How often should I get scaling and polishing?
The recommended frequency depends on your oral health, tartar buildup and individual risk factors. Your dentist can recommend an appropriate cleaning schedule after examining your teeth and gums.
Does scaling damage the teeth?
When performed correctly by a dental professional, scaling is designed to remove plaque and tartar without damaging healthy tooth structure.
Does scaling and polishing whiten teeth?
Scaling and polishing can remove surface stains, which may make teeth look cleaner and brighter. However, it is not the same as professional teeth whitening and does not change the natural colour of the tooth.
Is the procedure painful?
Most people tolerate routine scaling well. You may experience some sensitivity, particularly if there is significant tartar buildup or gum inflammation. Your dentist can discuss ways to keep you comfortable during treatment.
What is the difference between scaling and root planing?
Routine scaling removes deposits from the visible tooth surfaces and around the gumline. Scaling and root planing is a deeper periodontal treatment used when there is disease or deeper deposits below the gumline. Your dentist will determine which treatment is appropriate.
