Scaling and polishing at Radiant 32 clears away what a toothbrush or flosser at home cannot remove. Dr Madhulika Purkait checks the gums and teeth first for calculus, deposits and hard stains, including stains commonly caused by tobacco. She then uses a professional ultrasonic piezoelectric scaler to lift hardened plaque, tobacco and water stains from the tooth surface and just below the gum line, without unnecessary enamel wear.
Polishing also adds a separate glaze to the tooth surface, helping new plaque stick less easily.
Tell us when your gums last felt clean and the clinic calls back during working hours with a slot. Nothing is charged to book the consultation fee of 500 rupees is paid at the clinic.
Don't wait out these signs of plaque and tartar build-up. If any sound familiar, book a check - a routine clean is quicker and cheaper than treatment delayed.
Discolouration along the gum line is usually plaque and tartar that has hardened and stained over time.
Gums that bleed when brushing or flossing are a common sign tartar has built up right at the gum line.
Odour that persists after brushing is usually bacteria trapped in plaque a toothbrush can't reach.
Tartar hardens into a rough layer along the tooth surface that only professional scaling can remove.
Regular brushing and flossing help clean plaque from exposed areas of your teeth, but they cannot remove hardened, calcified supragingival calculus or subgingival deposits. Professional scaling reaches these areas gently, including deposits below the gum line that home cleaning cannot remove.
Polishing smooths the cleaned surfaces for a cleaner, fresher finish and a more confident smile. Removing tartar deposits can also help reduce the bad breath and odour associated with buildup.
Scaling and polishing at Radiant 32 is finished in a single sitting, usually inside forty minutes.

Most patients walk out and go straight back to their day, eating and smiling normally within minutes of leaving the chair.
