Teeth Cleaning (Scaling & Polishing) in Aundh, Pune
Ultrasonic scaling and polishing that removes the tartar and stains brushing cannot — recommended every 6 months, at Braces and Beyond, Aundh.
Scaling and polishing is a professional clean that removes plaque, hardened tartar (calculus) and surface stains that a toothbrush cannot. At Braces and Beyond, Aundh, it is done with an ultrasonic scaler followed by polishing, and is recommended every 6 months for most people to keep gums healthy and catch problems early.
Signs you are due for a cleaning
- Gums that bleed when you brush or floss
- Persistent bad breath
- Yellow or brown deposits along the gum line
- Tea, coffee or tobacco stains
- More than six months since your last professional cleaning
What happens during scaling and polishing
- The teeth and gums are examined
- An ultrasonic scaler breaks up and removes tartar above and just below the gum line
- Hand instruments clean the areas that need finer work
- The teeth are polished to remove surface stains and smooth the surface so plaque sticks less
Does scaling weaken teeth or create gaps?
No. Scaling removes deposits sitting on the tooth, not the tooth itself. What people sometimes notice afterwards is a gap or a longer-looking tooth that the tartar had been covering — the gum had already receded underneath it. Removing the tartar lets the gums heal; leaving it lets gum disease continue quietly.
After your cleaning
Some sensitivity to cold for a few days is common, and gums that were inflamed may bleed a little at first before they settle. Keep brushing gently and keep flossing — healthy gums stop bleeding within days.
Cleaning during braces
Plaque builds up faster around brackets and wires, which is why patients in braces treatment benefit from regular professional cleaning alongside careful brushing at home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is scaling painful?
Usually not. Most people feel vibration and some sensitivity, especially if there is a lot of tartar or the gums are inflamed.
Does scaling damage tooth enamel?
No. Scaling removes tartar and plaque deposits from the tooth surface; it does not remove enamel.
Why do my teeth feel loose or gappy after scaling?
Scaling does not loosen teeth. If teeth feel loose or gaps appear, the tartar was covering gum and bone loss that had already happened — which is a reason to treat the gums, not to avoid cleaning.
How often should I get my teeth cleaned?
Every 6 months for most people. If you have gum disease or wear braces, you may be advised to come more often.
