Scaling and Polishing
A Deep Clean That Actually Makes a Difference
Scaling and polishing removes built-up plaque and tartar that brushing alone can’t reach — leaving your mouth genuinely fresh.
SELF-CHECK
Is This You?
You notice tartar buildup or discoloration near your gum line
You deal with recurring bad breath
Your gums bleed when you brush or floss
It's been a while since your last professional cleaning
THE PROCESS
What's Involved
We remove plaque and tartar buildup (scaling), then polish your teeth to remove surface stains and leave them smooth — a quick, non-invasive visit.
THE PAYOFF
Benefits
- Fresher breath, brighter-looking teeth
- Reduces risk of gum disease and cavities
- A genuinely "clean mouth" feeling that home brushing can't fully match
Will It Hurt?
Cleaning is generally comfortable. If your gums are inflamed, you might feel mild sensitivity, which settles quickly.
Pricing
Cleaning is one of our more affordable, routine services.
Why Mile Dental
We recommend a cleaning schedule based on your actual gum health, not a generic one-size-fits-all interval.
FAQ
Common Questions
How often should I get a cleaning?
Typically every 6 months, though we’ll advise based on your gum health.
Will cleaning make my teeth whiter?
It removes surface stains and buildup, which can noticeably brighten your smile — though it’s not the same as a whitening treatment.
Do bleeding gums mean something's wrong?
It can be an early sign of gum disease — worth getting checked rather than ignored.
