Why Is Professional Teeth Cleaning Essential for Oral Health?

Brushing and flossing clean visible areas of teeth, but they cannot remove hardened deposits beneath the gumline. When soft plaque is left behind, it hardens into calculus (tartar), which cannot be removed at home. Professional cleaning prevents gum disease, bad breath, stains, and long-term damage to the teeth and supporting bone.

What Is Dental Calculus (Tartar) and How Is It Formed?

Calculus is hard yellowish deposit that forms over and between teeth when plaque is not removed on time. Plaque is a soft film of bacteria, food debris, and saliva. Within 24–72 hours, minerals in saliva harden this film into tartar, which firmly adheres to tooth surfaces and the gumline.


Once formed, it cannot be removed by brushing. Attempts to scrape it off at home can injure the gums and worsen infection. Professional cleaning is the only safe way to eliminate these deposits and restore gum health.

How calculus forms:

  • Food debris + bacteria form sticky plaque
  • Salivary minerals harden plaque into calculus
  • Tartar attaches firmly, attracting more bacteria

Effects of Avoiding Professional Teeth Cleaning

Neglecting tartar can result in:

Man holding cheek in pain

Good place to go for your teeth. The team was very professional in examining and providing with solution. I had to get my molar teeth removed as it was little complex case being lower jaw molar tooth was horizontal. After speaking with doctors I felt I was in a good hands. All the doctors and staff were gentle and kind to me. They explained very well what was going on. Thanks to Clove Dental Clinic. This review is post my surgey and after 2 weeks I am writing this feedback. Special mention about Dr. Prerna Shirke as she continuosly kept a close watch on healing process and was very helpful during the entire process. A very well deserved applause for her work and dedication!!! Would highly recommend Clove Dental Clinic Hinjewadi Branch.

I recently underwent a tooth capping procedure under the care of Dr Rhea, and I'm pleased to share my positive experience. From the moment I walked into the dental clinic, I was met with a welcoming atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. Dr Rhea's expertise was evident as she thoroughly explained the tooth capping process, addressing all my concerns and ensuring I was well-informed before proceeding. What stood out to me was her empathy and patient-centered approach. She regularly checked on my comfort and explained each step as she worked, which helped alleviate any anxiety I had. The tooth capping itself was a success, and I'm thrilled with the final result.

I (and my family) have been using the services of Clove dental Madippakkam for over 3 years now and I am glad that I found this place. Their prices are reasonable, treatment is good and they follow highest standards of hygiene especially in COVID times (didn't see this in other clinics i had visited) and their appointment management system is awesome for working professionals like me. What truly sets them apart in my opinion is their customer friendliness. I don't know if they get specific training on hospitality or it comes naturally to all of them :) - I find everyone of them to be very polite and friendly. While the treatment/procedure is in process, they explain what they do and check with you frequently if you are comfortable or if it hurts. Awesome.. And finally, I have to mention about Dr.Durga Shrinivason who is incharge of the Madippakkam unit. She is super friendly and TRULY cares about her patients. I got consultation on braces for my daughter here (free of cost!!) but eventually got it done at a different clinic near my house (not at Clove). But still Dr.Durga kept checking in on my daughter's treatment and progress everytime I visited Clove for something else. I mean, how many such professionals do you really get to see these days? I have also personally observed on several occasions that she only recommends what is really NEEDED for the patient (be it products, treatment) and not what could make money for the clinic (expensive products, procedures etc) Ex: when every other dentist recommended that I get my wisdom tooth extracted, she was the only one who asked me to go through the momentary discomfort for a 2-3 days and go for extraction (which is both expensive and painful) only if the discomfort is prolonging and unbearable.... Now this is what I call GENUINE advice and care for the patient. This integrity and ethics in professionals like Dr.Durga is what builds TRUST in the brand of Clove dental and I have personally recommended this clinic to a lot of my friends and relatives. Cheers Jayashree and Barani

Common Myths About Teeth Cleaning

Cleaning loosens teeth
False—cleaning removes tartar. If teeth feel loose, the tartar was holding them in place, masking underlying gum disease.
It damages enamel
False—when performed correctly, cleaning does not weaken enamel. Excessive plaque and tartar, not professional cleaning, are what harm teeth over time.
It’s painful
Superficial cleaning is generally painless. Mild sensitivity can occur and is temporary. Deep cleaning may require local anaesthesia for comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Cleaning Cost in India

Scaling starts at ₹1,690, polishing at ₹890, and deep scaling at ₹2,490. Prices are standard across all clinics.
How often should I get cleaning done?
Most people need a 6-month preventive check-up. Those with gum issues, misaligned teeth, or heavy tartar buildup may need more frequent visits.
Is it covered by insurance?
Routine cleaning is usually not covered. Clove Membership Plans include free check-ups and cleaning vouchers.
Is teeth cleaning safe for children?
Yes. Children with stains or tartar can benefit from scaling and polishing. However, deposits at a young age indicate poor brushing habits and should be addressed early.
What's the difference between scaling and polishing?
Scaling removes plaque and tartar; polishing smoothens the surface and removes superficial stains.
Can cleaning whiten my teeth?
Cleaning brightens teeth by removing stains but does not change natural enamel colour. Whitening is a separate procedure.
