Dental scaling and polishing are routine, non-surgical, non-invasive procedures done to remove plaque and tartar deposits built up on the teeth and the polishing of rough tooth surfaces to make them smoother. Often an ultrasonic scaler is used to scrape/remove heavy deposits of tartar and plaques, while another handheld instrument may be used to remove any stubborn deposits that remain. The second and final stage involves smoothening of the teeth surfaces. A polishing brush along with ‘special toothpaste’ is used to remove stains and to smoothen rough–like texture on the tooth surfaces.
