Overview
Professional cleaning (scaling and polishing) removes hardened plaque (tartar) and surface stains that brushing cannot reach. It keeps your gums healthy, prevents decay and gum disease, and leaves teeth feeling smooth and looking brighter — an essential foundation before cosmetic work.
Benefits
- Removes tartar that brushing cannot
- Helps prevent gum disease and decay
- Reduces surface stains for a brighter look
- Freshens breath and improves gum health
- An ideal first step before any cosmetic treatment

Aftercare & long-term tips
Brush twice daily, floss, and keep up six-monthly cleanings. We will recommend any further care your gums need.
First 24 hours
Stick to soft, lukewarm foods and drinks; avoid very hot or hard items while any numbness or sensitivity settles.
First few days
Ease back into normal eating as sensitivity fades — usually within a few days.

Do
- Brush twice a day and floss daily
- Attend your regular check-ups and cleanings

- Keep the area clean and rinse as advised
Avoid
- Biting very hard objects — ice, pen lids, shells
- Opening bottle or soda caps with your teeth
- Too many hard nuts or sticky, chewy sweets
- Smoking and staining drinks in the first days
