What to expect
Ultrasonic scaling
High-frequency vibrations break down hardened tartar above and below the gum line.
Subgingival cleaning
Manual scalers reach below the gum — where bacteria cause silent damage over time.
Polishing
Rotary polishing paste removes surface stains from tea, coffee, and food.
Fluoride finish
A fluoride application strengthens enamel and reduces post-treatment sensitivity.
Why patients choose Dr. Nazish for Scaling
Prevents gum disease
Tartar below the gum line is the leading cause of gingivitis. Removing it early avoids a much larger problem later.

Polishing lifts tea, coffee, and surface stains that brushing at home cannot reach — no whitening needed.
Fresher breath — instantly
Bad breath is usually bacterial. A professional clean eliminates the source, not just the symptom.

Common questions about Scaling
Does scaling weaken teeth?
No. Scaling only removes tartar — it never touches or damages enamel. Any mild sensitivity clears within 24–48 hours.
How often should I get scaling done?
Every 6 months for most patients. Dr. Nazish will advise based on your gum health and plaque buildup rate.
Is scaling painful?
Rarely. Most patients find it comfortable. Local anaesthetic is available if needed for sensitive areas.
Can I eat after scaling?
Yes, but avoid very hot or very cold food and drinks for a few hours as your teeth may be temporarily sensitive.
Will it remove all stains?
Polishing removes surface stains effectively. Deep intrinsic staining (from medication or trauma) requires whitening treatment.
Is scaling safe during pregnancy?
Yes — it is actually recommended. Gum disease is linked to pregnancy complications. Routine scaling is safe and beneficial.
