Keep Your Teeth & Gums Healthy With Scale & Clean in Kinross
Even if you wash your teeth regularly, there’s still a risk of plaque accumulation. Inflamed gums and loss of teeth can happen if you have plaque buildup on your teeth.
Preventative dental care, such as professional teeth scaling and cleaning, can help keep your teeth and gums healthy.This dental procedure removes plaque and tartar that can’t be eliminated with regular brushing.
The Amazing Benefits of a Scale and Clean Treatment
- Coffee, tea, alcohol, and tobacco can cause stains on your teeth. Scale and clean treatments can reduce these stains caused by your diet and lifestyle.
- The scale and clean procedure is an excellent way to prevent gum disease by eliminating tartar buildup, which is one of the major causes of dental problems.
- Scaling and cleaning can help to get rid of bad breath by eliminating the harmful bacteria in your mouth.
- If you take good care of your oral hygiene, you can save a lot of money on other dental procedures. It may be cheaper to get a scale and clean treatment early if you notice that your teeth are starting to get cavities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1. How often should I go to the dentist for a scale and clean treatment?
If your teeth and gums are in good condition, we recommend a preventative scale and clean every six months to keep your mouth healthy.
If you have a history of gum disease, we suggest getting a scale and cleaning every 3–4 months.
Q2. Is professional teeth cleaning painful?
Professional teeth cleaning does not cause any pain. Our dental team will make sure that you feel comfortable during the entire procedure. We also have a numbing gel that we can use to make your teeth less sensitive.
Q3. How is a scale and clean performed?
An ultrasonic scaler will be used by the dentist to remove any plaque deposits stuck on or between your teeth. This is paired with a “therapeutic wash and flush,” which uses a fine mist of cold water to get rid of food particles that get stuck between the enamel surfaces of each tooth.
A device called a “scaler” is used to scrape plaque and tartar off your teeth during the scaling part of the process. Once all surfaces are smooth, your dentist will polish them using an ultrasonic cleaner to clean beneath the gumlines as well. For polishing, a slow-speed handpiece with a rubber cup that turns at the end is used. This ensures that every tooth is coated with prophylaxis paste.
Finally, a fluoride treatment is applied to protect your teeth from acid and bacteria. The dentist will apply the cool gel to the top of each tooth for 30-60 seconds. For 30 minutes after the fluoride has been applied, it is advised not to eat, drink, or rinse your mouth.
Q4. How long do a scale and clean appointment take?
A typical dental check-up with a scale and cleaning takes around 30 minutes to an hour. It can be completed in a single dental appointment.
Q5. What is the cost of a scale and cleaning treatment?
The cost of a general dental checkup varies depending on your dental needs and plaque buildup. A standard check-up with scaling and cleaning costs between $200 to $275 per visit. But if x-rays are necessary, the estimated price can be $300 to $400.
