Scaling & Whitening in Gota
A professional clean for healthy gums, and a brighter shade if you want one.
What are scaling and whitening?
A deep clean, then a brighter smile.
Scaling removes the hardened tartar that brushing can't, at and below the gum line. Whitening lifts stains to lighten the natural shade of your teeth.
Do you need it?
Common reasons to book a clean.
Bleeding gums
Often caused by tartar along the gum line.
Bad breath
Plaque and tartar hold the bacteria that cause it.
Stains
From tea, coffee, paan or tobacco.
Yellow or dull teeth
Whitening can lighten them by a few shades.

Good to know
Your questions, answered.
Does scaling damage the enamel?
No. Scaling removes tartar, not tooth. Your teeth may feel sensitive for a day or two afterwards.
Why do my gums bleed after scaling?
Gums inflamed by tartar can bleed a little. As they heal they tighten, and the bleeding usually stops within days.
How long does whitening last?
Usually many months, depending on your habits. Tea, coffee, paan and smoking bring stains back sooner.
