Why Scaling and Polishing Should Be Part of Your Routine

No matter how well you brush, plaque eventually hardens into tartar that only a dental professional can remove. Left in place, tartar causes gum inflammation, bleeding, bad breath and eventually gum disease and bone loss.

Professional scaling and polishing at Nisa Dental removes tartar above and below the gum line, then polishes the teeth to leave them smooth and bright. It costs PKR 6,000 and takes about 30 minutes.

For most people, a cleaning every six months is ideal. If you have had gum disease, your dentist may recommend a shorter interval, such as every four months.

After a professional cleaning, your mouth feels fresh, your gums stop bleeding, and your smile looks noticeably brighter. It is one of the most cost-effective investments in your oral health.
