What Is Teeth Scaling and Polishing?

Professional teeth cleaning, also called scaling and polishing, is very different from brushing at home. No matter how diligently you brush and floss, certain areas of the mouth are difficult to clean, and plaque gradually hardens into tartar (also called calculus) that cannot be removed with a regular toothbrush.

During your cleaning appointment at Omabod, our dentist will:

  • Use an ultrasonic scaler to loosen and remove hardened tartar from above and below the gumline
  • Use fine hand instruments to clean in detail around each tooth
  • Polish your teeth with a mildly abrasive paste to remove surface stains and smooth the enamel surface
  • Check for early signs of gum disease, cavities, or other oral health concerns
  • Advise you on home oral hygiene to maintain the results

The whole appointment typically takes 45–60 minutes and is comfortable for most patients.

How Much Does Teeth Cleaning Cost in Ghana?

Teeth cleaning costs in Ghana vary based on how much tartar buildup is present and whether deep cleaning (root planing) is required. At Omabod Dental Clinic in Accra, we offer competitive, transparent pricing with no hidden fees.

Signs You Need a Professional Teeth Cleaning

You may be overdue for a cleaning if you notice:

  • Yellow or brown staining on your teeth that won’t brush away
  • Bad breath that persists despite brushing and mouthwash
  • Bleeding gums when you brush or floss
  • A rough or gritty feeling on your teeth (tartar buildup)
  • Sensitive teeth — especially to hot, cold, or sweet foods
  • Visible tartar buildup, particularly behind the lower front teeth

If you recognise any of these signs, book a cleaning at Omabod Dental today.

How Often Should You Get Your Teeth Cleaned?

For most adults, we recommend a professional cleaning every 6 months. This schedule allows us to remove new tartar buildup before it causes gum disease or tooth decay.

If you have existing gum disease (periodontitis), you may need cleaning every 3–4 months. Your Omabod dentist will recommend the right schedule for your oral health.

In Ghana, where sugary drinks and starchy foods are part of everyday diets, regular cleanings are especially important for preventing tooth decay and gum problems.

Is Teeth Cleaning Painful?

Most patients find teeth cleaning comfortable and relaxing. You may feel mild sensitivity if you have:

  • Heavy tartar buildup around the gumline
  • Gum inflammation or gingivitis
  • Sensitive teeth

Our dentists work gently and can adjust the pressure to ensure your comfort. If sensitivity is a concern, let us know before your appointment and we can take extra care.

“This is the first time I have been to a dentist for cleaning that I had no pain during and after. Trust me, I have been to several clinics in London and none better than this.”

Teeth Cleaning vs Teeth Whitening — What’s the Difference?

This is one of the most common questions we get. Here’s the simple answer:

Teeth cleaning (scaling and polishing) removes tartar and surface stains, restoring your teeth to their natural colour. It is a hygiene treatment, not a cosmetic one.

Teeth whitening uses a bleaching agent to lighten the natural shade of your teeth beyond their original colour.

Many patients at Omabod combine both — start with a cleaning, then whitening for extra brightness. Ask us about this combination at your appointment.
