Preventive — Scaling & Polishing
Professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, keeping your gums healthy and breath fresh.
Overview
Professional scaling and polishing are essential for removing plaque (a bacterial biofilm) and tartar (calculus) that regular brushing cannot reach. Dr. Jojo uses advanced ultrasonic scalers and precision instruments to clean even the deepest gum pockets.
A routine visit is more than just a cleaning. It includes a comprehensive history update, dental charting, and screening for decay, gum disease, and oral cancer. Dr. Jojo also provides personalized oral hygiene instructions to help you maintain your smile at home.
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Without regular professional cleaning, plaque can harden into tartar within 48 hours, leading to gingivitis, sensitivity, and eventual bone loss. We recommend a visit every six months for most patients.
