Healthier Gums
Tartar irritates the gums and makes them bleed. Removing it gives the gums a chance to tighten and recover, provided brushing and flossing continue at home.

Scaling Made Comfortable
Teeth Cleaning in Khar, Mumbai
A good first appointment if you are easing back into dental care
For many people a professional cleaning is the first dental visit in years. It is a sensible place to begin. There are no injections in a routine cleaning, it is over fairly quickly, and it lets you get to know the clinic before anything bigger is needed.
Cleaning, also called scaling, removes plaque and hardened tartar from the teeth and gum line. Brushing at home cannot shift tartar once it has formed. Our Khar team works gently and tells you what each instrument does before using it.
Fresher Breath
Bacteria living in plaque and tartar are a frequent cause of persistent bad breath. A thorough cleaning reduces them noticeably.
An Early Look
While cleaning, the dentist sees every surface closely and can point out early cavities, worn fillings or gum pockets before they cause trouble.
During Your Cleaning
Sensations to expect during scaling at our Khar clinic
A quick check first: the dentist looks at your teeth and gums and asks about sensitivity, bleeding and any medical conditions or medicines. Do mention blood thinners, heart conditions, diabetes or pregnancy.
The ultrasonic scaler: this is a fine tip that vibrates and sprays water to loosen tartar. You will feel a buzzing, tickling sensation and hear a whistling sound. Suction keeps the water from pooling. It can feel sharp near the gum line or on exposed roots, so tell us and we will go slower or change the setting.
Hand instruments: stubborn deposits between teeth may be lifted off with small hand scalers. This feels like firm scraping. It does not remove enamel.
Bleeding and tenderness: if your gums are inflamed, they are likely to bleed a little during cleaning and feel tender that evening. This is a sign of existing gum irritation, not of damage from the procedure, and it generally improves within days.
Afterwards: teeth may feel sensitive to cold for a short time, and gaps that were packed with tartar can feel new to the tongue. Warm salt-water rinses and a soft brush are usually all that is needed.
Get Started
Clearing Up Doubts
Common worries about scaling, answered
These concerns keep many people away from a cleaning. Here is what is actually the case.
Scaling Loosens Teeth
Tartar can act like a splint around teeth already weakened by gum disease. When it is removed, the looseness becomes noticeable, but the cleaning did not cause it.
It Creates Gaps
Spaces that appear after cleaning were filled with tartar earlier. As swollen gums heal, they often sit more snugly against the teeth.
Enamel Is Not Worn Away
Scalers are designed to dislodge deposits, not to cut tooth structure. Used correctly, they do not thin the enamel.
Frequency Varies
A cleaning every six months suits many people. Those with gum disease, braces, diabetes or a smoking habit may be advised to come more often.
When More Is Needed
Routine cleaning and deep cleaning are not the same
If the dentist finds deeper pockets between the gums and teeth, a deep cleaning below the gum line may be recommended. This is usually done under local anaesthetic, sometimes over more than one visit, and nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is available if you feel anxious about it. You will be told clearly which type of cleaning you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
It may be more sensitive than it would be with regular visits, because there is more tartar and the gums are likely to be inflamed. We work in short stretches and can apply numbing gel or local anaesthetic to tender areas. For patients with strong anxiety, nitrous oxide is available at our Khar clinic if the dentist considers it suitable.
A brief medical and dental history, an examination of the teeth and gums, the scaling itself and usually a polish. The dentist then tells you what was found and gives brushing and flossing advice specific to your mouth. X-rays are taken only if something needs a closer look.
A routine cleaning is commonly done in well under an hour. Heavy tartar build-up or gum disease can take longer and may be split across visits.
No. Bleeding gums are usually a sign of plaque and tartar irritating the gum, and cleaning is part of the treatment. Waiting tends to allow the problem to progress. Keep brushing gently and book a check-up.
Routine cleaning is generally considered safe in pregnancy, and gums are often more prone to bleeding at this time. Tell the dentist that you are pregnant and how far along you are, so that timing and care can be adjusted. Any sedation during pregnancy is considered with extra caution and only on the dentist’s advice.
