ENScaling, polishing and AirFlow
Bacterial plaque forms on tooth surfaces. When it mineralises, it becomes tartar and can no longer be removed by ordinary brushing. Bleeding gums, visible deposits or persistent bad breath should be assessed.
Professional cleaning at DENTAURUM may include scaling, polishing and AirFlow. Scaling removes hard deposits; polishing and air polishing can help remove plaque and surface staining where indicated. These procedures are not interchangeable in every situation.

Prevention continues every day

Frequently asked questions
Does professional cleaning whiten teeth?
It may remove some surface staining and restore a natural appearance. It does not change the internal colour of a tooth in the way whitening does.
Why do my gums bleed?
Bleeding may indicate inflammation and needs assessment. Do not assume it can be resolved simply by brushing harder.
How often is it needed?
The interval is individual. Deposits, gum health and risk factors may call for more frequent check-ups.
