Scaling and Polishing | Fern Dental

Dental cleanings involve removing plaque (a soft, sticky layer of bacteria, food & saliva) and hard tartar deposits that have built up on the teeth over time. Your teeth are continually bathed in saliva which contains calcium and other substances which help strengthen and protect your teeth. Usually, it is tooth coloured and can easily be mistaken as part of the teeth, but it can also vary from brown to black in color.
