What is Teeth Cleaning?
Professional teeth cleaning (scaling and polishing) removes plaque and tartar that cannot be removed by regular brushing. It is the cornerstone of preventive dentistry and essential for maintaining healthy gums and teeth.
Dr. Preethi at Sethu Dental Care recommends professional cleaning every 6 months. Using ultrasonic scalers and polishing instruments, the procedure is gentle, thorough and leaves your mouth feeling exceptionally clean and fresh.
