About the treatment
Even with diligent home care, plaque and tartar can accumulate in hard-to-reach areas, leading to gum disease, cavities, and bad breath. Professional cleaning at City Clinic involves scaling and polishing teeth using advanced ultrasonic and manual instruments, ensuring a thorough and gentle removal of deposits.
Our dental hygienists also provide personalized guidance on brushing, flossing, and oral care routines to maintain optimal dental health between visits. This procedure is essential for long-term oral wellness and is often recommended as a preparatory step before restorative or cosmetic treatments.
