Scaling & Polishing
Professional dental scaling and polishing is a cornerstone of preventive oral healthcare at Moolchand Hospital, Delhi. Despite regular brushing and flossing, calculus (hardened tartar) accumulates on tooth surfaces and below the gum line over time and cannot be removed by home care alone. Scaling removes this calculus, while polishing eliminates surface stains and smooths the tooth surface to discourage further plaque accumulation.
The procedure is recommended for all patients at least once or twice a year as part of routine dental maintenance. In patients with gingivitis (gum inflammation) or early periodontitis (gum disease), more frequent scaling — along with root planing — is essential to halt disease progression and restore gum health.
At Moolchand Hospital in Lajpat Nagar, our dentists and dental hygienists use ultrasonic scalers that use high-frequency vibrations to efficiently break up and remove hard deposits, followed by hand scaling for precision cleaning in difficult-to-reach areas. The tooth surfaces are then polished using a prophylaxis paste to remove extrinsic stains from tea, coffee, and tobacco and leave a smooth, clean surface.
Subgingival scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) is performed for patients with deeper periodontal pockets to remove deposits from below the gum line, reduce bacterial load, and promote re-attachment of the gum tissue to the tooth root.
Moolchand Hospital's periodontal care team provides personalised oral hygiene instructions after every scaling appointment, empowering patients to maintain their oral health effectively at home between professional visits.
Our team of globally acclaimed super specialists has pioneered several scaling & polishing surgeries.
