Scaling and polishing is a preventive dental procedure that removes plaque, tartar (calculus), and stains from the teeth. It helps maintain healthy gums and a fresh, clean smile. Scaling involves deep cleaning of tooth surfaces and below the gumline, while polishing smoothens the enamel and removes surface stains.
