Scaling and polishing

Description

Description 

Scaling & Polishing is a fundamental preventive dental treatment that focuses on maintaining optimal oral health by removing hardened plaque (tartar), bacteria buildup, and surface stains from the teeth and gum line.

The scaling process involves the careful removal of tartar using specialized dental instruments, while polishing smooths the tooth surface and enhances brightness by removing external stains caused by food, drinks, or smoking.

At Al Raha Medical Center, this treatment is performed by qualified dental professionals using modern dental equipment to ensure comfort, safety, and effective results.

Regular scaling and polishing not only improves the appearance of your smile but also helps prevent gum disease, cavities, and bad breath.
