What is scaling & preventive care?
Dental scaling (professional teeth cleaning) is the removal of tartar — hardened plaque — from your teeth and along the gum line using a gentle ultrasonic instrument. Tartar cannot be removed by brushing, no matter how well you brush; once plaque hardens, only professional cleaning can take it off. Left in place, tartar causes bleeding gums, bad breath, gum disease (pyorrhoea), and eventually loosening of teeth. A scaling visit at Dental Spot in Kankarbagh, Patna takes 30–45 minutes and ends with polishing that leaves teeth smooth and noticeably cleaner. Dentists worldwide recommend scaling every 6 months — it is the single most cost-effective thing you can do for your dental health.

What to expect
Your visit at our Patna clinic, step by step.
- 1
Examination
Dr. Priya checks your teeth and gums, with low-radiation RVG digital X-rays if anything needs a closer look.
- 2
Ultrasonic scaling
A fine ultrasonic tip vibrates tartar off the tooth surface and from under the gum line — gentle, and far more thorough than manual scraping.
- 3
Polishing
Teeth are polished smooth so plaque finds it harder to stick again, and surface stains lift away.
- 4
Prevention advice
Honest, personalised guidance on brushing technique, flossing, and anything that needs watching — no unnecessary treatment ever pushed.
Frequently asked questions
How much does teeth cleaning cost in Patna?
Scaling and polishing at Dental Spot starts from ₹800. Heavier tartar build-up needing a deeper clean may cost slightly more — you'll be told the exact price after the examination, before anything starts.
Does scaling loosen or damage teeth?
No — this is a common myth. Scaling removes the tartar that was silently damaging the gums. If teeth feel slightly loose after cleaning, that looseness was caused by gum disease already present; the tartar was just hiding it. Scaling stops it getting worse.
How often should I get my teeth cleaned?
Every 6 months for most people. If you have gum disease, smoke, or chew paan/tobacco, Dr. Priya may recommend every 3–4 months until your gums recover.
Is scaling painful?
No — most patients feel only mild vibration. If your gums are inflamed, there can be slight sensitivity, which settles within a day or two. Cleanings at our Patna clinic take just 30–45 minutes.
Will scaling whiten my teeth?
It removes surface stains from tea, coffee and tobacco, so teeth look visibly cleaner and brighter — but it restores your natural shade rather than whitening beyond it. For a genuinely whiter shade, professional whitening (from ₹3,000) is the next step.
