Teeth Cleaning & Polishingin Parel, Mumbai
What is professional teeth cleaning?
Professional teeth cleaning (scaling and polishing) removes the hardened plaque and tartar that brushing can't reach, then polishes away surface stains. It helps prevent gum disease, bad breath and cavities. Most adults benefit from a cleaning every six months, alongside a routine check-up with Dr. Pooja Jain.
Who is Teeth Cleaning & Polishing for?
It may help if you notice any of these:
- Bleeding or swollen gums while brushing
- Visible tartar or yellow-brown deposits near the gumline
- Bad breath that doesn't go away
- Anyone due for a routine six-monthly check-up
Only a dental check-up can confirm what you need. These signs are a guide, not a diagnosis.

After a cleaning
- Most people go straight back to work or home — there's no downtime.
- Teeth can feel slightly sensitive or gums a little tender for a day or two; this usually settles on its own.
- If gums were very inflamed, some bleeding while brushing may continue for a few days as they heal.
- Keep brushing twice a day and cleaning between teeth to make the result last.
General guidance — your own timeline is explained at your consultation.
Teeth Cleaning & Polishing: common questions
No. Scaling removes deposits sitting on the tooth, not the enamel itself. Teeth can feel slightly sensitive for a day or two afterwards, which usually settles on its own.
For most people, every six months. If you have gum problems, Dr. Pooja may suggest more frequent visits.
Usually a single sitting of about 30–45 minutes, depending on how much tartar there is.
