Teeth Cleaning & Scaling in Muvattupuzha
Professional removal of plaque and tartar that home brushing cannot reach — using ultrasonic scaling for a deeper, more comfortable clean.
Brushing Twice a Day Is Not Enough. Here Is Why.
No matter how carefully you brush and floss, tartar (hardened calculus) builds up in areas your toothbrush cannot reach — below the gumline, between teeth, and around the backs of molars. Once tartar forms, it cannot be removed by brushing. It requires professional instruments.
Tartar is not just cosmetic. It is a breeding ground for the bacteria that cause gum disease. Early gum disease (gingivitis) causes bleeding and inflammation. Left untreated, it progresses to periodontitis — which destroys the bone that holds your teeth. That bone does not grow back.
A professional cleaning every six months removes the tartar before it causes damage. It is one of the highest-return actions you can take for your long-term oral health.
At Arackal Dental Care, we use ultrasonic scaling — a vibrating tip that breaks down tartar efficiently without scraping, which is gentler and faster than older hand-scaling methods. Most appointments take 30–45 minutes.

- Ultrasonic scaling to remove all tartar above and below the gumline
- Hand-scaling for precise cleaning between teeth

Questions About Teeth Cleaning
For most patients, it is comfortable. If your gums are already inflamed from tartar buildup, you may feel mild sensitivity — which reduces significantly after the cleaning as your gums recover. Our ultrasonic scaler is gentler than older hand instruments.
No. The instruments are designed to remove soft deposits and tartar, not enamel. Your teeth will feel smoother after — that is simply what they feel like without the tartar layer.
Every six months for most adults. If you have gum disease, heavy buildup, or smoke, every three to four months is better. The cost of regular cleaning is a fraction of treating gum disease once it has progressed.
Tartar can cover root surfaces. When removed, the exposed surface briefly reacts to temperature. This resolves within a day or two. Using a sensitivity toothpaste for a few days after helps significantly.
What Patients Say After Their Cleaning
"My gums had been bleeding when I brush for months. After the cleaning, the bleeding stopped within a week. The doctor explained exactly what was happening and why it was important to clean regularly. Makes so much sense now."
"The ultrasonic cleaning was so much more comfortable than I expected. Quick, no scraping sensation, and my teeth felt completely different after — lighter, smoother. I had avoided this for years thinking it would hurt. It really doesn't."
"I come every six months and have been for three years now. My dentist back home always found several issues. Since I started regular cleaning here, I haven't had a single cavity. Prevention genuinely works."
