Professional Teeth Cleaning (Scaling) in Madurai

Regular dental cleanings are the only way to remove tartar (hardened plaque) that your toothbrush cannot remove. At Agaram Dental Clinic, we use advanced ultrasonic scalers to gently clean your teeth.

This simple procedure is essential for preventing gum disease (Gingivitis), bad breath, and tooth decay.

Why Brushing Isn't Enough

Even with perfect brushing, plaque can hide below the gum line and harden into tartar. Once tartar forms, only a dentist can remove it. Leaving it untreated leads to:

• Bleeding gums
• Bad breath (Halitosis)
• Receding gums
• Loose teeth (Periodontitis)

The Cleaning Process

1. Scaling: We use an ultrasonic device that vibrates to loosen and flush away tartar from above and below the gum line.

2. Polishing: After scaling, we polish your teeth using a special paste. This removes surface stains from coffee or tea and makes your teeth feel smooth, making it harder for new plaque to stick.

3. Checkup: Once your teeth are clean, Dr. Sivanesan will examine them for any hidden cavities or issues.

How Often Should You Get a Cleaning?

For most patients, we recommend a professional cleaning every 6 months. However, if you have gum disease or smoke, you may need to visit more frequently.
