Professional Dental Cleaning (Scaling, Airflow & Fluoride)

A professional hygiene visit that removes hardened tartar and surface staining using ultrasonic scaling and air-polishing, finished with a protective fluoride application. Regular cleanings help keep gums healthy and teeth looking brighter between check-ups, and the hygienist can show you techniques tailored to your mouth. Medent offers scaling and air-polishing individually or as a combined package, with hands-on oral-hygiene instruction available for patients who want to improve their daily routine.

Professional dental cleaning at Medent combines two complementary techniques to leave teeth thoroughly clean. Ultrasonic scaling uses fine high-frequency vibrations to break away calcified tartar (calculus) from the tooth surface and along the gumline, where everyday brushing cannot reach. Air-polishing — often called sandblasting — then uses a controlled jet of fine powder and water to lift coffee, tea, wine and tobacco staining and to smooth the surface, leaving teeth feeling clean and looking noticeably brighter. The visit finishes with a fluoride varnish that helps strengthen enamel and may reduce sensitivity in the days afterwards. Routine professional cleaning is one of the simplest ways to support long-term gum health, as removing tartar reduces the bacterial load associated with gum inflammation and bleeding. At Medent you can book ultrasonic scaling or air-polishing on their own, or choose the combined package that includes both plus fluoride for the most complete result. For patients who want to get more from their daily care, the clinic also offers a dedicated oral-hygiene instruction session in which the correct brushing and interdental cleaning technique is demonstrated for your particular teeth, fillings and any braces or bridges. A cleaning is suitable for most adults and is typically recommended once or twice a year, or more often where there is a tendency to build tartar quickly.
