Where To Start
Do you need a professional teeth cleaning?
If any of these sound familiar, a cleaning is the right next step — and often the only step you'll need.
Yellow or brown deposits along the gum line that brushing won't shift.
Gums that bleed when you brush or floss.
Persistent bad breath even with good brushing habits.
Teeth that feel rough or "fuzzy" when you run your tongue over them.
Stains from tea, coffee or tobacco dulling your smile.
It's been more than six months since your last professional cleaning.
Here's the part home care can't solve: once plaque hardens into tartar (calculus), it bonds to the tooth surface, and no toothbrush or floss can remove it — only professional instruments can. Left in place, tartar is what turns healthy gums into bleeding gums.
Studies estimate gingivitis — the early, reversible stage of gum disease — affects around 46% of Indian adults. At that stage, a thorough cleaning is very often the entire fix. We'd much rather clean your teeth today than treat gum disease next year.
What To Expect
What happens during your cleaning at Arasu Dental Care
Your cleaning is a single sitting of about 30–45 minutes, carried out by our dentists — with our periodontist reviewing your gum health whenever the examination calls for it. Here is exactly what we do.
STEP 1
Examination first, always
We check your gums, map where tartar has built up, and look for anything that changes the plan — sensitivity, recession, early cavities. You'll know what we found before we begin, not after.
STEP 2
Ultrasonic scaling
A fine ultrasonic tip vibrates tartar off the tooth surface while a water spray washes it away — above the gum line and just beneath it. The instrument removes deposits, not tooth structure, so it's gentle on your enamel. Most patients describe it as a mild scratching sensation; anaesthesia is rarely needed.
STEP 3
Polishing — done selectively, not by default
We polish with a soft rubber cup and prophylaxis paste to smooth the tooth surface and lift remaining surface stains — which also makes it harder for new plaque to stick. One honest detail most clinics skip: aggressive polishing at every visit removes microns of enamel, so we polish where it's needed rather than buffing every tooth on principle. That's better dentistry, even if it's a less dramatic sales pitch.
STEP 4
Fluoride, if it will genuinely help you
For cavity-prone or sensitivity-prone patients, we finish with a fluoride application to strengthen the enamel. If you don't need it, we won't add it to your bill.
When a routine cleaning isn't enough, you don't get referred out. If the examination shows deposits deep below the gum line or gum pockets forming, you need deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) — a separate periodontal procedure our periodontist , a laser-dentistry fellow, handles in the same clinic. We'll tell you plainly which one your mouth actually needs.
Know The Difference
Cleaning, polishing, whitening, deep cleaning — what's the difference?
These four get mixed up constantly, and clinics don't always help. Here's the honest map.
| Treatment | What it actually does | When you need it |
|---|---|---|
| Teeth cleaning (scaling) | Removes hardened tartar and plaque from tooth surfaces and along the gum line | Routine — every 6 months for most adults |
| Teeth polishing | Smooths the tooth surface and removes external stains (tea, coffee, tobacco) | Usually done with scaling, selectively where stains exist |
| Teeth whitening | Chemically lightens the internal shade of your teeth beyond their natural colour | Cosmetic and elective — when you want a brighter shade, not just a cleaner one |
| Deep cleaning (root planing) | Cleans below the gum line inside gum pockets; a periodontal treatment, not a routine cleaning | When gum disease has progressed — our periodontist will confirm |
The short version: cleaning and polishing restore your teeth to their natural shade — they don't lighten beyond it. If you want a visibly brighter shade after your cleaning, professional teeth whitening is the treatment that does that, and a fresh cleaning is actually the ideal starting point for it.
Straight Answers
What to expect afterwards — the honest version
We'd rather tell you exactly how the next few days feel than let a normal part of recovery worry you.
Mild sensitivity for a day or two is normal
Especially to cold, and especially if your gums were inflamed. It settles on its own; a sensitivity toothpaste helps.
Your teeth may briefly feel "loose", or gaps may appear
This worries patients more than anything else, so let's be clear: scaling did not loosen anything. Heavy tartar was physically filling those spaces and pressing on your gums — removing it reveals what was underneath, and the slight looseness is your gums healing and re-tightening. This is recovery, not damage.
Deep internal stains won't lift with cleaning
Discolouration inside the tooth — from medication, injury or age — needs whitening or veneers. If that's your situation, we'll say so at the exam rather than let you expect a result cleaning can't deliver.
Results vary
How dramatic the change looks depends on how much tartar and staining was there to begin with and on your gum condition — our dentists will give you a realistic picture chairside.

Your Recall
How often should you get your teeth cleaned?
Every six months is the right rhythm for most adults — in line with Indian Dental Association guidance. Some patients genuinely need it every 3–4 months instead: smokers, patients with diabetes, anyone wearing braces, expectant mothers (pregnancy hormones inflame gums faster), and anyone with a history of gum disease or fast tartar build-up. We'll tell you which recall actually fits your mouth — not apply a blanket rule to everyone.
Children need cleanings too, with a gentler approach and kid-sized reassurance — that's handled by our pediatric team under dental cleaning for children.
Smokers — faster tartar and stain build-up.
Patients with diabetes — higher gum-disease risk.
Anyone in braces or aligners — harder to keep clean.
Expectant mothers — hormones inflame gums faster.
Why Arasu
Why have your cleaning done at Arasu Dental Care
A cleaning is routine — until the examination finds something that isn't. That's where our multispecialty setup earns its keep: if your gums show early disease, you're not handed a referral slip to another clinic.

Comfort-first ultrasonic scaling
A gentle-as-possible approach validated repeatedly in our patient reviews — most patients need no anaesthesia at all.

Patient Reviews
Rated 4.8 on Google
Google ReviewsYears of coffee staining and tartar along the gum line gone in one 40-minute sitting. Painless — just a mild scratching feeling. My gums stopped bleeding within a week.
Honest is the word. I asked for a full polish everywhere; they explained why they only polish where stains are and don't buff healthy enamel for no reason. Charged fairly, no upsell.
Booked a cleaning on a Sunday evening — impossible at most clinics. Teeth felt a little "loose" after, they'd warned me it was the tartar coming off and it settled in two days exactly as they said.
The periodontist checked my gums during the cleaning and flagged one area starting to form a pocket — all handled in the same clinic. Clear pricing before starting. Felt looked after, not processed.
FAQs
Teeth cleaning & polishing — your questions answered
No — it's a comfortable procedure. The ultrasonic scaler vibrates deposits away with a water spray; most patients feel a mild scratching sensation at most. If your gums are inflamed you may feel brief sensitivity, and we can use a numbing gel for particularly sensitive patients.
No. Scaling instruments are designed to remove deposits, not tooth structure. If teeth feel slightly loose afterwards, that's because heavy tartar was propping the gums — the feeling fades as your gums heal and tighten, usually within days.
It removes surface stains from tea, coffee, and tobacco, restoring your teeth's natural shade — which often looks noticeably brighter. It won't lighten teeth beyond their natural colour; that's teeth whitening, a separate cosmetic treatment we also offer.
About 30–45 minutes in a single visit, including the examination. Heavier tartar build-up can take a little longer.
At Arasu Dental Care, a cleaning session (scaling and polishing) costs ₹1,500–₹3,000, depending on the level of build-up and staining. We confirm your exact figure after the examination, before starting.
Yes, straight away in most cases. If you've had fluoride applied, wait about 30 minutes, and it's sensible to avoid strongly coloured or very hot/cold food and drink for a few hours.
Yes — and often especially worthwhile, since pregnancy hormones make gums more prone to inflammation. Tell us you're expecting and we'll tailor the visit accordingly.
