What to Expect During a Scale and Clean
Comprehensive dental checkup
The dentist will first assess the teeth and gums for any signs of potential concerns that may need treatment before proceeding. If there's no issue, the patient can proceed to the next step.
Removing plaque and tartar
The dentist will gently clean away the plaque and tartar from around the gum line and in between the teeth. You may hear a scraping sound during the procedure, but this is normal.
Deep cleaning with gritty toothpaste
Next, the dentist will brush the teeth with a high-powered electric brush. While it makes a grinding noise, it is a way to get a deep clean of the remaining tartar left behind from the scaling process.
Professional flossing
During a scale and clean, the flossing process is essential for cleaning trouble spots that are difficult to reach during regular home flossing.
Rinsing
The dentist will give you a cup of water to rinse your mouth. You’ll be instructed to spit out any residues. They will check if any toothpaste or debris is left behind and get rid of it if necessary.
Application of fluoride treatment
Finally, they may apply a fluoride treatment at the end, which helps strengthen tooth enamel and protects against cavities for several months.
Common Dental Problems That

Teeth scaling in West Perth is an integral part of gum care. It can help remove plaque and tartar from teeth and gum lines, improving gum health and reducing the risk of bleeding gums.
