Professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar that brushing cannot.
Professional teeth cleaning removes plaque, tartar (hardened plaque) and surface stains from your teeth and along the gumline. Tartar cannot be removed by brushing at home, and it is a leading cause of gum disease and bad breath.
Cleaning is usually done with an ultrasonic scaler and hand instruments, followed by polishing to leave the teeth smooth and fresh.
At Apollo Clinic Shyamnagar, your dentist also checks your gums and teeth during the visit and advises on how to keep them healthy at home.
