Hygienist - Routine Scale and Polish

Routine Scale & Polish with our Hygienist

A routine scale and polish is one of the most effective ways to maintain good oral health. Even with excellent brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas. Our hygienists in Malvern remove these deposits, lifts surface stains, and leaves your teeth feeling smooth and refreshed.

What Happens During a Scale & Polish?

1. Gum health check – Your hygienist checks the condition of your gums and identifies any areas of plaque build-up.
2. Scaling – Using specialised instruments, the hygienist removes plaque and hardened tartar from around the teeth and gum line.
3. Polishing – A polishing paste is used to smooth the tooth surfaces and lift surface stains, leaving teeth brighter and cleaner.
4. Personal hygiene guidance – Your hygienist will show you the best techniques and tools to use at home so you can maintain your oral health between appointments.

Who Is a Scale & Polish Suitable For?

A routine scale and polish is ideal for anyone who wants to maintain healthy teeth and gums. It’s particularly helpful if you:

• Notice staining from food, drinks or smoking
• Want to prevent gum disease and maintain long-term oral health
• Prefer that “just-cleaned” fresh feeling
• Have difficulty cleaning certain areas at home

If you need deeper cleaning due to more advanced gum issues, your hygienist will explain your options and recommend the most suitable treatment.
