What to know before you come
- Without seeing the dentist first : the hygiene session can be booked directly. If anything is noticed during the session, we let you know.
- Every 6 to 12 months for most patients, depending on cavity and periodontal risk.
- Without anaesthetic in most cases : the ultrasound loosens the tartar by vibration, which gives a sensation of vibration and cold.
- The enamel is not damaged : the instruments used remove tartar without damaging it.
- It is not whitening : scaling removes surface stains; it does not change the natural shade of the enamel.
- Saturdays too : from 9am to 3pm, and until 8pm on weekdays.

- Advice : brushing techniques are explained and adapted to your situation.
- Next session : the interval is set with you, generally between 6 and 12 months.

Frequently asked questions about scaling
How much does scaling cost in Bussigny?

Is scaling painful?
Scaling is carried out without anaesthetic in most cases: the ultrasound loosens the tartar by vibration, which gives a sensation of vibration and cold. If you have sensitivity, the instruments are adapted and a desensitising product may be applied.
How often do I need scaling?
Every 6 to 12 months for most patients. People with orthodontic appliances, implants or prostheses, as well as smokers and people with diabetes, may benefit from closer follow-up. The page Dental hygiene explains the recommended frequency.
Does scaling damage the enamel?
No. The ultrasound and the instruments used are designed to remove tartar without damaging the tooth enamel.
Does scaling whiten the teeth?
It removes tartar and surface stains left by tea, coffee or tobacco, which often makes the teeth look lighter. It does not change the natural shade of the enamel: that is the role of whitening.

Yes, the hygiene session can be booked directly. If anything is noticed during the session, we let you know.
