Scaling and polishing is a routine dental procedure used to remove plaque and tartar deposits that regular brushing and flossing cannot reach. It can support gum health between dental visits.

What the procedure involves

The dentist or oral hygienist examines the teeth and gums, then uses ultrasonic and hand instruments to remove deposits. A polish follows to smooth the tooth surface.

Frequency

The recommended frequency varies by individual oral health. Many patients have scaling and polishing every six to twelve months as part of routine dental care.

Fees

Fees depend on examination findings and any additional consumables required. The clinic will confirm indicative fees during a consultation. CHAS Blue, Merdeka Generation and Pioneer Generation subsidies may apply for eligible Singaporeans.
