Because a Clean Smile is a Healthy Smile
शुद्धम् स्मितालयम्
A Pure Smile Reflects Inner Health
No matter how diligently you brush or floss, some areas of your mouth are nearly impossible to clean at home. Over time, plaque hardens into tartar – the silent culprit behind bad breath, cavities, and gum disease.
At Smylift Dental, we go beyond routine cleaning – our advanced ultrasonic scaling and polishing ensure your teeth and gums are free from harmful buildup, restoring your natural shine and oral freshness.
Because at Smylift, we believe in “Trust Behind Every Smile.”
What is Professional Teeth Cleaning?
Teeth cleaning, also known as scaling and polishing, is a preventive dental procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and stains from the surface of your teeth and below your gumline.
Even with excellent brushing and flossing, deposits form due to minerals in saliva and everyday food habits. These deposits can’t be removed at home – they require professional dental instruments and expertise.
At Smylift Dental, our expert dentists use ultrasonic scalers and gentle techniques to clean your teeth painlessly and safely, helping you maintain strong, healthy gums and a confident smile.
Why is Teeth Cleaning Important?
Professional teeth cleaning isn’t just about a brighter smile – it’s about long-term oral and overall health.
Here’s why it matters:
- Prevents cavities and tooth decay
- Eliminates bad breath (halitosis)
- Removes stubborn stains and tartar buildup
- Keeps gums firm and healthy
- Reduces risk of gum disease and tooth loss
- Enhances your overall oral hygiene and freshness
Regular professional cleaning is like a “service check” for your mouth – keeping your teeth strong and problems at bay.
What Happens During the Procedure?
Your dental cleaning session at Smylift Dental is simple, comfortable, and completely safe. Here’s what to expect:
Oral Examination
Your dentist first checks for gum pockets, plaque buildup, and signs of sensitivity. Based on your oral condition, the dentist recommends either regular cleaning or deep cleaning (root planing) for more advanced cases.
Scaling
Using an ultrasonic scaler, we gently remove plaque and tartar from your teeth surfaces and along the gumline. The device uses mild vibrations and water spray to clean efficiently - no drilling, no pain.
Polishing
Next, a gritty polishing paste is applied to smoothen tooth surfaces and restore shine. This step also makes it harder for new plaque to accumulate.
Flossing & Rinsing
Your dentist will floss between your teeth to ensure no debris remains, followed by a refreshing mouth rinse to cleanse your mouth completely.
Fluoride Application
To strengthen enamel and prevent future cavities, a protective fluoride gel is applied - ensuring lasting protection.
It’s recommended to get your teeth cleaned every 6 months for optimal oral health.
However, some people with faster tartar buildup or a history of gum disease may benefit from more frequent cleanings – every 3-4 months.
Does Teeth Cleaning Hurt?
Not at all!
Teeth cleaning is non-invasive and painless. You may feel mild vibration or sensitivity during the procedure, especially if you have gum recession or exposed roots, but this sensation subsides quickly.
Our team at Smylift ensures every cleaning session is gentle, reassuring, and anxiety-free – even for those with dental fear.
What Happens If You Skip Dental Cleaning?
Ignoring professional cleaning can lead to:
- Plaque and tartar buildup
- Gum inflammation and bleeding
- Cavities and tooth sensitivity
- Receding gums and exposed roots
- Persistent bad breath
- Tooth mobility or loss in severe cases
Tartar acts like a magnet for bacteria – leading to a cycle of infection and decay. Preventing this is simple: one cleaning session every six months.
Are There Any Side Effects of Teeth Cleaning?
Professional cleaning has no side effects.
Some temporary after-effects like mild sensitivity, minor gum soreness, or light bleeding can occur – but they subside within a day or two.
These are signs your gums are healing and becoming healthier.
