Procedure for Teeth Cleaning
In general terminology, scaling and polishing are often referred to as ‘teeth cleaning’. It is performed using these steps: 

• Scaling

In this; the dentist will remove the plaque and tartar using a scaler or an ultrasonic device. This is done to remove the hard deposits that can make the teeth look unclean and cause oral health issues in the future. 

• Polishing

For the teeth to look smooth and shiny, a dental paste is applied for the removal of any stains. This helps to make the surface smoother and makes the build-up to become minimal. 

• Fluoride Treatment

This is optional; a fluoride treatment can be done as well to make the teeth stronger and less prone to cavities and other issues.
