Teeth cleaning, also known as scaling and polishing, is a preventive dental procedure that removes:
Plaque (soft bacterial deposits)
Tartar/calculus (hardened plaque)
Surface stains caused by tea, coffee, tobacco, or food
It is an essential part of maintaining good oral health and preventing future dental problems.
