Teeth polishing after dental hygiene treatment

Polishing is the final stage of professional oral hygiene treatment. It smoothes the surface of the teeth after scaling and sandblasting, meaning plaque and discolouration accumulate more slowly, and teeth remain smooth, clean, and pleasant to the touch of the tongue for longer.

Why tooth polishing is an important stage of dental cleaning

After removing tartar and deposits, the enamel surface may remain microscopically rough, and it is precisely in these areas that bacteria and stains accumulate the fastest. Polishing smoothes out these irregularities, completing the professional oral hygiene cycle. As a result, the effects of scaling and air polishing last significantly longer, and daily brushing becomes more effective.

How the polishing process works at Mabel Clinic

The treatment is performed using a soft rubber cup or brush on a slow-speed handpiece, with a special polishing paste of selected grit. The hygienist thoroughly prepares each tooth surface, including along the gum line and around fillings. Polishing takes a few minutes, is completely painless, and leaves the teeth feeling perfectly smooth.

Effects and how long they last

Smooth enamel is not only a pleasant sensation, but above all, real protection: plaque has a harder time adhering, and discolouration develops more slowly. Combined with regular check-ups and daily hygiene, polishing helps maintain healthy teeth and gums between visits. We recommend repeating a full hygiene treatment with polishing every six months.
