Professional teeth cleaning in Dublin
A scale and polish — also known as scaling and polishing — is a professional dental cleaning that removes plaque, tartar (calculus) and surface stains that regular brushing and flossing simply cannot reach. It is one of the most important preventive treatments in dentistry.
During the procedure, our dental professionals use specialist instruments to carefully remove hardened deposits from your teeth and along the gumline, followed by a thorough polish to leave your teeth smooth, clean and bright.
Regular scaling and polishing is essential for maintaining healthy gums, preventing gum disease (periodontitis) and keeping your smile at its best between dental check-ups.

Book with Dentist — €100Why regular scale and polish is essential
Even with perfect brushing and flossing at home, plaque builds up in areas your toothbrush can't reach. Here's why professional cleaning matters:
Prevents Gum Disease
Tartar build-up below the gumline is the leading cause of gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis). Regular professional cleaning removes these deposits before they cause irreversible damage to your gums and bone.
Prevents Cavities
Plaque contains bacteria that produce acids which attack tooth enamel. Removing plaque regularly with a professional clean significantly reduces your risk of developing cavities and tooth decay.
Fresher Breath
Bad breath (halitosis) is often caused by bacteria in plaque and tartar deposits. A professional scale and polish removes these deposits and leaves your mouth feeling clean and your breath noticeably fresher.
Brighter, Whiter Smile
Surface stains from coffee, tea, red wine and food build up over time. The polishing stage of your clean removes these stains and leaves your teeth looking visibly brighter and smoother.
Better Overall Health
Research consistently shows links between poor oral health and systemic conditions including heart disease, diabetes and respiratory issues. A clean, healthy mouth is an investment in your overall well-being.
Saves Money Long-Term
Preventive care is always less expensive than restorative treatment. Regular cleaning reduces the likelihood of needing fillings, root canals or gum treatment — saving you money and discomfort in the long run.
How often should you get a scale and polish?
The recommended frequency for a professional scale and polish varies from person to person depending on your oral health, lifestyle and risk factors. Our dentists will advise you on the right schedule for your individual needs.
Every 6 months — most patients
For patients with healthy gums and good oral hygiene at home, a professional cleaning every six months is typically sufficient to maintain excellent oral health.
Every 3–4 months — higher risk patients
If you have a history of gum disease, smoke, have diabetes or are pregnant, more frequent cleaning may be recommended to keep your gums healthy and prevent complications.
Haven't been in a long time?
If it's been over a year since your last cleaning, we strongly recommend booking the dentist appointment (€100) so we can assess your current oral health before cleaning and identify any issues that need attention.
