A Scale and Polish is a personalised dental cleaning designed to keep your teeth and gums healthy. It gently removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains, leaving your smile feeling fresh and clean.
Regular scale and polish sessions with your hygienist are minimally-invasive and an investment into the long-term future of your oral health. They can also ensure your teeth look stain-free and, therefore, natural-looking.

Airflow® is a gentle polishing method that not only leaves your teeth looking and feeling polished but with fresher breath too. It’s also a gentle process using water, compressed air, and powder particles, making it suitable for patients with tooth sensitivity.

At Knighton Dental, we recommend having a Scale and Polish every six months, or as advised by your dentist, to maintain optimal oral health.
The process involves scaling to remove build-ups and polishing to smooth and brighten teeth, making it harder for tartar to return. Benefits include fresher breath, reduced risk of gum disease and heart conditions, and prevention of costly dental issues. At Knighton Dental, our expert team ensures your treatment is thorough, comfortable, and effective—book your appointment today!
