Questions
Frequently asked questions.
What is the scaling of teeth price at Odonto?
Odonto lists simple scaling at Rs 5,000 and deep scaling with polishing at Rs 10,000.
Does scaling make teeth weak?
No. Scaling removes tartar from teeth. Teeth may feel different when heavy deposits are removed, but scaling does not remove healthy tooth structure.
How often should I get scaling and polishing?
Many patients need it every six months, while gum disease, diabetes, tobacco, or heavy tartar may require shorter recall intervals.
From Dr. Mian Momin Ahmad
The best treatment is the one you understand before it starts.
Most patients do not come in asking for perfect dentistry language. They ask: will it hurt, how much will it cost, can this tooth be saved, and what happens if I wait? That is why every Odonto treatment page is built around diagnosis, alternatives, pricing, aftercare, and long-term consequences. If scaling & polishingis right for you, we will explain why. If another option is better, we will explain that too.
