Is tooth cleaning the same as full mouth scaling?

No, basic tooth cleaning focuses on removing surface plaque and stains, while full mouth scaling goes deeper—removing hardened tartar and bacteria from above and below the gum line. At Molars Dental, we offer both regular cleanings and advanced scaling depending on your needs.

Where can I get professional teeth cleaning in Nairobi or Mombasa?

Molars Dental Clinics in Nairobi, Mombasa, Hurlingham, and Ridgeways offer professional tooth cleaning and full mouth scaling performed by licensed dentists using advanced dental technology.

How often should I get full mouth scaling done?

Most people benefit from FMS once or twice a year, but those with gum disease may need it more frequently as advised by a dentist.

How long does FMS take?

The procedure takes 1 to 2 hours depending on your oral condition. It includes scaling, root planing, antibacterial rinsing, and post-treatment care instructions.

Is full mouth scaling painful?

Not usually. We use local anesthesia when needed to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. Most patients experience only mild sensitivity afterward, which resolves in a day or two.
