After your teeth are scaled, they may be polished.

The polishing will make your teeth smoother and make you feel much nicer and fresh.

In most cases, a gritty paste is used for this, which helps to remove any surface stains on your teeth.

Note: My Gentle Dentist recommends and performs topical application of Fluoride on all teeth as a standard procedure unless a patient has a personal preference not to do so.

The benefits of topical fluoride application far outweigh not doing the same.

Teeth Cleaning is the third Step in the Process
