Why brushing isn't enough Tartar doesn't brush off. Once it hardens, it stays.

Bleeding gums are usually the first sign, and the one most people ignore longest.

Plaque hardens into tartar along the gumline where a toothbrush can't reach. It builds quietly, pushes the gum back, and by the time it's visible it's been there a while.

Examined Before Cleaned

We check whether you need a routine scaling or deeper gum treatment. They're different procedures at different prices.

Scaling and Polishing

Tartar removed above and below the gumline, then polished so it builds up more slowly.

Deep Cleaning Where Needed

If the gums have receded, root planing goes below the gumline. We'll tell you if that's what yours needs.

No. Scaling removes tartar, not tooth. Teeth can feel slightly loose or sensitive afterwards because the tartar that was wedged between them is gone — that settles within a few days.

Routine scaling is usually comfortable, though sensitivity varies from person to person. If the gums are inflamed or the treatment goes below the gumline, we can numb the area. Tell us if you're sensitive and we'll adjust.

It depends on whether you need a routine scaling or a deep cleaning, which we can only tell after looking. You get the figure at the examination, before treatment starts.

Every six months for most people. More often if you smoke, or if you're prone to tartar build-up.

It removes surface stains and tartar, so teeth usually look noticeably cleaner. It's not the same as whitening, which changes the natural shade of the tooth.

It's common, but it isn't normal — it's usually the earliest sign of gum inflammation. It's worth getting checked rather than waiting for it to settle on its own.

Everything in one clinic

If the check-up finds something more, it's handled here
