What is Polishing ?
Why is Polishing Important?
✅ Removes Surface Stains
Polishing effectively eliminates stains caused by coffee, tea, smoking, and certain foods, restoring the natural brightness of your teeth.
✅ Smoothens Tooth Surface
It smoothens the surface of your teeth, making it harder for plaque and bacteria to accumulate.
✅ Freshens Breath
By cleaning away plaque and debris, polishing helps in maintaining fresh breath.
✅ Enhances Oral Hygiene
It is an essential part of dental cleaning to maintain optimal oral health and prevent gum disease.
How is Polishing Done?
During the procedure:
- Scaling is done first to remove plaque and tartar deposits.
- A polishing paste (prophylaxis paste) is applied on your teeth.
- A rotating rubber cup or brush is used to polish each tooth gently, leaving them smooth and shiny.
The procedure is painless, quick, and safe when performed by a dental professional.
Who Should Get Polishing?
Polishing is recommended for:
- Anyone undergoing routine dental cleaning
- Individuals with mild tooth staining
- People looking to maintain their dental aesthetics and hygiene
However, it is not a replacement for teeth whitening if you have deep intrinsic stains.
