Tartar Removal
Healthy smile starts with clean teeth and gums

Healthy smile starts with clean teeth and gums

Tartar — also called dental calculus — is hardened plaque that forms when soft deposits are not removed regularly.

If left untreated, tartar can cause gum inflammation (gingivitis), bad breath, bleeding gums, and eventually lead to periodontal disease or even tooth loss.

At Nordic Dental, we provide gentle, professional tartar removal using advanced ultrasonic and air-flow technology, followed by polishing for a smooth, clean finish.

For optimal oral health, we recommend professional cleaning once or twice a year, depending on each patient’s needs and oral hygiene habits.

Our Cleaning Process
1
Ultrasonic scaling
We use an ultrasonic scaler that vibrates at high frequency to safely break down and remove hard tartar from tooth surfaces and below the gumline. A fine water mist cools and rinses the area throughout the procedure.
2
Air-flow (sandblasting)
A controlled jet of water, air, and soft powder gently removes surface stains and soft plaque — ideal for discolorations caused by coffee, tea, red wine, or smoking. This leaves your enamel visibly cleaner and smoother.
3
Tooth polishing
Finally, we polish the teeth with a fine paste to smooth out microscopic roughness and restore natural shine. Polishing helps slow down the accumulation of new plaque and tartar, keeping your smile fresh and clean longer.
