Plaque and tartar buildup not only dull your smile but can also lead to serious oral health issues like gum disease and tooth loss. At [Your Clinic Name], our Full Mouth Prophylaxis (Scaling) treatment provides a deep, professional cleaning to keep your teeth and gums in optimal health.
Full mouth prophylaxis, full mouth cleaning and full mouth restoration are terms often used interchangeably to describe the process of rebuilding or simultaneously restoring all of the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws. Full mouth prophylaxis can help restore oral health and functionality.
Full mouth prophylaxis typically involves procedures like crowns, bridges and veneers and can incorporate dental specialists like Periodontists (specializing in the gums), orthodontists (specializing in tooth movements and positions) oral surgeons, and Endodontics (specializing in the tooth pulp).
Full Mouth Prophylaxis—commonly known as scaling—is a comprehensive dental cleaning procedure. It involves the careful removal of:
a sticky film of bacteria
hardened plaque that brushing alone can't remove
caused by food, beverages, and tobacco
"A healthy smile is a reflection of a healthy body—let your smile shine from the inside out."
1. Initial Examination – We evaluate your oral health and identify areas of concern.
2. Scaling – Using ultrasonic scalers and hand instruments, we gently remove plaque and tartar.
3. Polishing – Teeth are polished to smooth the surface and remove minor stains.
4. Fluoride (optional) – A fluoride treatment may be applied to strengthen enamel.
Yes. One of the major causes of chronic bad breath (halitosis) is the accumulation of plaque and tartar below the gumline. Scaling removes these deposits and significantly improves breath freshness.
Even with good oral hygiene, some areas of the mouth are difficult to reach. Plaque can harden into tartar, which brushing can't remove. Scaling ensures these areas are professionally cleaned and helps maintain long-term oral health.
Scaling removes tartar and bacteria that irritate and inflame the gums, preventing gingivitis (early gum disease) and stopping the progression to more severe periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss.
While it's not a whitening treatment, scaling removes surface stains from food, beverages, and tobacco, which can make your teeth look cleaner and slightly brighter.
Yes. Research shows a strong link between oral health and systemic health. By reducing oral inflammation, scaling may help lower the risk of conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.
Most people benefit from scaling every 6 months. However, individuals with gum disease or other risk factors may need it more frequently, as advised by their dentist.
Every smile tells a story — we’re here to make yours brighter, healthier, and full of confidence.
