About this Treatment
Maintain healthy gums and a clean, fresh smile with professional teeth cleaning and polishing at Dental Sphere in Nagavara, Bangalore. Even with careful daily brushing and flossing, mineral deposits from your saliva gradually harden soft plaque into tartar (calculus). Once tartar forms, regular toothbrushes cannot remove it. Left untreated, tartar harbors bacteria that cause bleeding gums (gingivitis), chronic bad breath, and long-term bone loss around your teeth. Led by Dr. Arshiya Zakreen (BDS), our gentle professional cleaning uses modern ultrasonic instruments. A smooth, vibrating tip paired with a cooling water mist gently loosens and washes away hardened tartar without scratching your natural tooth enamel. We follow cleaning with a smooth prophy polishing paste to lift stubborn tea, coffee, and food stains, leaving your teeth noticeably brighter, cleaner, and silky smooth. Routine professional cleaning every 6 months is the single most effective way to prevent costly dental problems.

Frequently Asked Questions.
Does professional teeth cleaning hurt?
No. Teeth cleaning is generally very comfortable. You will feel mild vibrations and a cooling water spray. If your gums are inflamed or your teeth are sensitive, we can apply a gentle numbing gel to keep you completely at ease.
Will teeth cleaning create gaps between my teeth or make them loose?
No, this is a common myth! Cleaning does not create gaps or loosen teeth. When heavy tartar buildup is removed, it simply uncovers natural spaces that were previously clogged with bacterial deposits. Removing tartar allows your gums to heal and tighten around the teeth.
Does teeth scaling damage or thin out tooth enamel?
No. Enamel is the hardest tissue in your body. Modern ultrasonic scalers use gentle acoustic vibrations and water mist to shake tartar loose; they do not cut, scratch, or thin your enamel.
How often should I get my teeth cleaned?
We recommend professional cleaning every 6 months for most patients. If you have active gum disease, smoke, or wear braces, cleanings every 3 to 4 months help keep your mouth in top condition.
Why do my gums bleed during cleaning?
Bleeding happens because the gums are inflamed by bacterial tartar along the gumline. Once this tartar is removed, the irritation stops, and gum bleeding usually disappears completely within 48 hours.
Why do my teeth feel slightly sensitive to cold water after cleaning?
Mild sensitivity to cold drinks is normal for 1 to 2 days because tooth surfaces previously covered in tartar are exposed to air and liquids again. Using a desensitizing toothpaste for a few days relieves this quickly.
