Physical Examination: The dentist or dental hygienist begins by examining your teeth and gums to assess your overall oral health and identify any potential issues.

Plaque and Tartar Removal (Scaling): Using specialised tools, the dental professional removes plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) from the surfaces of your teeth. Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth and can lead to cavities and gum disease if not removed.

Teeth Cleaning: After scaling, the teeth are polished to remove any remaining stains and to create a smooth surface. This is typically done with a rotating dental brush and a gritty toothpaste-like material.

Flossing: The dental professional may floss between your teeth to ensure that any remaining debris or plaque is removed from areas that may be difficult to reach with a toothbrush.
