Scale & Polish
Hygiene Clean London
A professional scale and polish is crucial for oral health, preventing gum disease, preserving enamel strength and keeping your smile happy and healthy.
It is advised to have a simple ‘Scale and Polish’ every 6 months at least. We believe the best way to achieve a happy, healthy smile is by regular dental appointments and regular oral hygiene appointments with a Scale and Polish cleaning session. Please note that an examination will need to be carried out by the dentist if you have not had one with us in the last 6 months.
At London Dental Centre, you are in capable hands of our experienced dentists who conduct a thorough cleaning for you and now there are many different options to chose between!

A scale and polish is a professional teeth cleaning procedure that can be completed by a dentist or dental hygienist. This procedure involves removing plaque buildup on your teeth using specialized tools, followed by polishing to remove surface stains and make your teeth smoother. The result is brighter teeth that are less prone to accumulating bacteria.

Maintaining good dental hygiene is essential not only for your oral health but also for your overall well-being. Poor oral hygiene can lead to cavities, gum disease, and even serious health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, and digestive disorders. Regular dental hygiene appointments help prevent these problems by keeping your mouth clean and healthy.

At London Dental Centre, we always recommend pairing your dental hygiene appointment with a check-up. This allows us to not only clean your teeth but also assess your overall oral health, identifying any underlying issues that might need attention. This proactive approach helps in early detection and treatment of potential problems.

It’s recommended to visit a dental hygienist at least every six months. Even with regular brushing and flossing, plaque can build up in hard-to-reach areas. A dental hygienist will help remove this plaque and provide tips on how to improve your daily oral care routine.

Yes, you can usually eat and drink as normal after a scale and polish. However, it’s best to avoid very sugary foods and drinks, as well as items that stain easily (such as red wine, tea, and coffee) for at least 6 hours post-treatment. If you had an additional fluoride treatment or air polishing, wait at least 30 minutes before eating or drinking.
