Dental Cleaning

At MediCape Health, professional dental cleaning is one of the most essential preventive treatments for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. This procedure removes plaque, tartar, stains, and harmful bacteria that regular brushing cannot eliminate—helping you achieve a brighter smile and improved oral health.

Dental Cleaning About

What Is Dental Cleaning?

Dental cleaning (also called prophylaxis or scaling & polishing) is a routine dental procedure that deep-cleans your teeth and gumline.
It prevents gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath by eliminating plaque and tartar buildup.

A typical professional cleaning includes:

Scaling: Removing hardened tartar from teeth surfaces and below the gumline

Polishing: Smoothing the tooth surface for a shiny, clean finish

Optional Fluoride Treatment: Strengthening enamel and preventing cavities

Dental cleaning is recommended every 6 months for optimal oral health.

Who Needs Dental Cleaning?

Dental cleaning is ideal for:

Anyone who wants to maintain healthy teeth and gums

Individuals with plaque and tartar buildup

Patients with early gum disease (gingivitis)

People with persistent bad breath

Those preparing for other dental treatments

Smokers or tea/coffee drinkers who develop stains

Even with good daily brushing, professional cleaning is essential for long-term oral hygiene.

Benefits of Dental Cleaning

Prevents Gum Disease: Removes bacteria causing inflammation

Reduces Tooth Decay: Eliminates plaque before it damages enamel

Brighter & Whiter Teeth: Removes surface stains for a cleaner smile

Fresh Breath: Reduces bacteria associated with bad odor

Improves Overall Health: Gum health is linked to heart and systemic health

Protects Dental Work: Keeps implants, crowns, and veneers in better condition

Quick & Comfortable: Painless procedure completed in a single session

How the Procedure Works

Oral Examination: The dentist checks your gums, teeth, and overall oral condition.

Scaling: Specialized ultrasonic tools remove tartar and plaque from tooth surfaces and along the gumline.

Deep Cleaning (if needed): Patients with early gum disease may receive subgingival cleaning for deeper bacterial removal.

Polishing: Teeth are polished to remove stains and smooth the enamel surface.

Fluoride Application (optional): A fluoride solution or gel strengthens enamel and protects against cavities.

Recovery After Dental Cleaning

Most patients resume normal activities immediately.
You may experience:

Mild gum sensitivity

Temporary tooth sensitivity

Slight bleeding during brushing

These symptoms usually resolve within 24–48 hours.

Tips for aftercare:

Brush and floss gently

Avoid very hot or cold foods for several hours

Avoid smoking and staining beverages for 24 hours if whitening polish is used
