What Is Dental Cleaning & Scaling?
Dental cleaning, also known as scaling and polishing, is a preventive procedure that removes plaque, tartar (calculus), and surface stains from your teeth that regular brushing and flossing cannot reach. Tartar is hardened plaque that builds up over time, especially along the gumline and between teeth, leading to gum disease, bad breath, cavities, and eventually tooth loss. At North Delhi Dental Clinic in Model Town, Delhi, we use advanced ultrasonic scalers that gently vibrate away tartar deposits without damaging your enamel. The procedure is quick (30–45 minutes), comfortable, and one of the most important things you can do for your dental health. Dr. Ankita Jindal Poddar recommends professional cleaning every 6 months for all adults and children. Regular scaling keeps your gums healthy, prevents cavities, eliminates bad breath, and can even improve your overall health — research links gum disease to heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic conditions. Serving patients from Model Town, North Delhi, GTB Nagar, Kamla Nagar, and surrounding areas.
Types of Dental Cleaning
Basic Scaling & Polishing
Routine cleaning for patients with mild to moderate tartar build-up. Removes surface deposits and stains, followed by polishing for a smooth, clean finish.
Deep Scaling
For patients with heavy tartar accumulation or early gum disease. Ultrasonic and hand instruments clean below the gumline where bacteria hide.
Root Planing
Advanced deep cleaning that smooths the root surfaces of teeth to help gums reattach. Recommended for moderate to advanced gum (periodontal) disease.
Air-Flow Polishing
Uses a fine jet of air, water, and biocompatible powder to remove stubborn stains from coffee, tea, and tobacco. Excellent for cosmetic cleaning before events.
How Dental Cleaning Works
Examination
Dr. Ankita examines your teeth and gums to assess tartar levels, gum health, and identify any areas of concern.
Ultrasonic Scaling
An ultrasonic scaler uses gentle vibrations to break up and remove hardened tartar deposits from all tooth surfaces and along the gumline.
Hand Scaling
For stubborn deposits, fine hand instruments are used to carefully remove remaining tartar from hard-to-reach areas between teeth.
Polishing
A rotating polishing brush with professional-grade paste smooths tooth surfaces and removes surface stains, leaving teeth clean and glossy.
Fluoride Application
A fluoride varnish or gel is applied to strengthen enamel and provide additional protection against cavities for several months.

Patient Reviews
Got my teeth cleaned here and the difference is night and day. Dr. Ankita is very gentle and thorough. No pain at all. My gums feel so much healthier. Will come back every 6 months!
I was scared of scaling because I heard it loosens teeth. Dr. Ankita explained everything and did such a gentle job. My teeth feel cleaner than they have in years. Myth busted!
Frequently Asked Questions
Is scaling harmful for teeth?
No, professional dental scaling is not harmful for teeth. This is a common myth. Scaling removes hardened plaque (tarite) and stains that cannot be removed by regular brushing. The ultrasonic scaler vibrations do not damage enamel. In fact, not getting regular scaling leads to gum disease, bone loss, and eventual tooth loss. It is a preventive procedure recommended by all dental associations worldwide.
How often should I get dental cleaning?
Most people should get professional dental cleaning every 6 months. If you have gum disease, heavy tartar build-up, or are a smoker, your dentist may recommend cleaning every 3–4 months. Regular cleaning prevents cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Think of it as a service for your teeth, just like you service your car regularly.
Does scaling make teeth loose?
No, scaling does not make teeth loose. If teeth feel slightly loose after scaling, it is because the tartar that was holding them together (like cement between bricks) has been removed. The looseness is temporary and resolves as gums heal and tighten around the teeth. Delaying scaling only allows more bone loss, which truly causes permanent looseness.
What is the cost of dental cleaning in Delhi?
Dental cleaning (scaling and polishing) in Delhi costs ₹500–₹1,500 for basic cleaning and ₹1,000–₹2,500 for deep scaling. Full mouth deep cleaning with root planing costs ₹2,000–₹5,000. At North Delhi Dental Clinic, we offer affordable cleaning with ultrasonic technology for best results.
Is scaling painful?
Modern ultrasonic scaling is virtually painless. You may feel mild vibrations and occasional sensitivity, especially if you have significant tartar build-up or exposed root surfaces. For sensitive patients, we can apply topical numbing gel. Most patients describe the experience as uncomfortable but not painful. The fresh, clean feeling afterward makes it worth it.
Why do my gums bleed after scaling?
Mild bleeding during and after scaling is normal, especially if your gums are inflamed from accumulated plaque and tartar. Inflamed gums bleed easily when cleaned. This bleeding stops within 24–48 hours as the inflammation reduces. After regular cleanings, your gums become healthier and stop bleeding. Persistent bleeding indicates gum disease that needs treatment.
