Frequently asked questions
Can cleaning make teeth whiter?
Cleaning may remove surface stains, but it does not change the natural internal shade of the teeth like whitening treatment can.
Is dental cleaning uncomfortable?
Sensitivity varies. Tell the clinician if you feel discomfort so the approach can be adjusted.
Next step
Discuss scaling and polishing / dental cleaning with a dentist.
A consultation is needed to confirm whether this treatment is suitable for you and to explain alternatives, risks, and likely costs.
