Scaling
A dentist uses special instruments to gently remove tartar and calculus deposits without damaging your teeth. The ultrasonic scaler vibrations lose hard tartar that clung to the teeth and in between teeth. Water spray washes away the debris.

Polishing
When scaling is done a dentist starts to do polishing to remove stains with a soft rubber cup that spins. Polishing makes your teeth feel smooth and shiny.

After scaling and polishing, teeth can appear lighter If the natural color of teeth is very yellow, there will be no changes after teeth cleaning as the yellow color comes from inside the tooth.
