Teeth Cleaning & Scaling in Mohammadpur, Dhaka
Teeth cleaning (scaling and polishing) is a professional procedure that removes plaque, hardened tartar and surface stains that regular brushing cannot remove. Mohammadpur Dental provides scaling and polishing in Mohammadpur, Dhaka, to help prevent gum disease and bad breath. Most people benefit from it about every six months, or as their dentist advises.
Understanding This Treatment
Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth every day. If it is not removed well, it hardens into tartar (calculus), which brushing cannot remove. Tartar irritates the gums, can cause bleeding and bad breath, and over time can lead to gum disease.
Scaling removes tartar and plaque from the tooth surface and from just below the gumline, usually with an ultrasonic scaler and fine hand instruments. Polishing then smooths the surface and removes stains, which makes it harder for plaque to stick again.
Who Needs This Treatment?
- Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath
- Yellow or brown hard deposits on teeth, especially near the gumline
- Stains from tea, coffee, tobacco or betel quid (paan)
- Red, swollen or tender gums
- No professional cleaning in the last six months or longer
Step-by-Step Clinical Procedure
1. Gum and teeth check
The dentist checks your gums and teeth to see how much plaque and tartar is present and whether the gums are inflamed.
2. Ultrasonic scaling
An ultrasonic scaler uses fine vibrations and water to loosen and remove tartar from the teeth and just below the gumline.
3. Hand scaling where needed
Fine hand instruments are used to clear remaining deposits and smooth hard-to-reach areas between teeth.
4. Polishing
The teeth are polished to remove surface stains and leave a smooth finish.
5. Home-care advice
You are shown how to brush and floss effectively and when to return for your next cleaning.
Recovery & Aftercare Guidelines
There is no real downtime. Your gums may feel a little tender and may bleed slightly for a day or two, especially if they were inflamed, and teeth can feel briefly sensitive.
- Rinse with warm salt water if the gums feel sore.
- Brush gently with a soft toothbrush and keep flossing.
- If teeth feel sensitive, avoid very hot or very cold food for a day or two.
- Return for a check-up and cleaning about every six months, or as advised.
