Professional teeth cleaning, or scaling, removes hardened plaque (tartar) that brushing cannot. It prevents gum disease, cavities and bad breath, and leaves teeth feeling smooth and fresh. At Astra Dental Care, scaling starts from ₹1,200.
Why regular cleaning matters
- Removes tartar that causes gum disease
- Prevents cavities and tooth loss
- Reduces bad breath
- Lets the dentist catch problems early
- Keeps your smile brighter
Does scaling damage teeth?
No — this is a common myth. Scaling removes harmful deposits without harming enamel. Any mild sensitivity settles quickly. Skipping cleaning is what actually damages teeth over time.
How often should you get it done?
Most people benefit from professional cleaning every six months. Patients with gum issues or heavy staining may need it more often.
