Professional teeth cleaning (scaling) is a preventive dental procedure designed to remove plaque and tartar deposits that cannot be effectively eliminated through regular brushing and flossing alone. In our dental clinic in Çankaya, Ankara, professional cleaning is performed to support and maintain optimal oral hygiene between routine dental visits.
Over time, plaque hardens into tartar, which can accumulate along and below the gum line. Left untreated, this buildup may contribute to gum inflammation, periodontal disease, and tooth decay. Professional cleaning removes these deposits, reduces bacterial load, and helps protect both the teeth and the surrounding gum tissue. The recommended frequency of cleaning sessions varies depending on individual oral hygiene habits, lifestyle factors, and the patient’s clinical condition.
Our clinic provides preventive dental care services for patients in Ankara. We also welcome international visitors and offer consultations in English for a comfortable and accessible experience.
About Dr. Ayzıt Umay Dal
Dr. Ayzıt Umay Dal graduated from Ankara University Faculty of Dentistry in 2003 and has been in continuous clinical practice since. Her broad training and long career have given her experience across all areas of dentistry, including preventive care, which she regards as a cornerstone of long-term oral health.
After working in Ankara clinics for six years and spending a year in Belgium, she established her own practice in Didim, Aydın in 2014. Since returning to Çankaya, Ankara in September 2022, she has continued to provide comprehensive dental care — including preventive treatments — to a wide patient base.
Her approach to patient care emphasises education and prevention alongside treatment. She believes that well-informed patients are better equipped to maintain their oral health between visits. This philosophy is especially evident in her work with children, where building positive early experiences with dental care is a priority. She has also completed training in hypnosis in dentistry (2015), supporting her commitment to anxiety-free, patient-friendly care.
Dr. Dal is also a practising visual artist. Since 2021, her paintings have been presented at exhibitions and art fairs, and her 2023 solo exhibition was well received. Some works are displayed in the clinic, helping to create a relaxed and welcoming environment.
At our clinic in Çankaya, Ankara, preventive care is treated as an essential part of every patient’s dental journey. We provide personalised guidance on oral hygiene and recommend cleaning schedules based on individual needs. Our aim is to help patients maintain healthy teeth and gums over the long term.
