Scale and Clean

We provide professional scale and clean treatments to remove plaque, tartar, and stains—helping to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

What to expect?

Also known as prophylaxis, a scale and clean (or dental prophylaxis) effectively removes plaque, tartar, and stains from the tooth surfaces above and below the gumline. This thorough cleaning helps prevent gum disease and cavities. What makes South Eastern dental unique is that we use warm water for the clean which causes a lot less sensitivity.

Can a scale and clean hurt?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort. Our skilled dentists use gentle techniques to ensure a comfortable procedure. We can also use numbing gel, local anaesthetics or happy gas to make the experience better.

Typically every six months, but more often if you are at higher risk for gum disease.
