Polishing Paste
Free!
Polishing Paste is a professional dental prophy paste for stain removal and enamel polishing during routine cleanings. Its controlled abrasives in multiple grits cut stains quickly, then finish to a high gloss. The low-splatter, water-soluble formula handles easily and rinses clean, saving chair time. Use with standard rubber cups or brushes to deliver a smooth, fresh feel patients notice and a tidy workflow clinicians appreciate.
Description
Polishing Paste, also known as dental prophy paste, is a professional-grade paste used during prophylaxis to remove surface stains and plaque biofilm and to leave enamel smooth and glossy. Applied with a rubber cup or bristle brush after scaling, it provides controlled abrasion to lift discoloration from coffee, tea, tobacco, and everyday pigments while minimizing splatter and heat. A smooth, water-soluble base rinses clean and supports patient comfort.
Key features
• Optimized abrasive system available in multiple grits (coarse, medium, fine) for stepwise polishing
• Low-splatter, creamy consistency for clean procedures and better visibility
• Water-soluble base that rinses off quickly without residue
• Radiant, glossy finish that helps delay plaque re-accumulation on polished enamel
• Compatible with standard prophy angles, rubber cups, and brushes
• Offered in unit-dose cups or jars to support hygiene protocols in the operatory
Primary benefits
• Efficient stain removal with predictable polishing control
• Smoother enamel surfaces that feel cleaner to patients
• Time-saving handling and easy cleanup for the clinician
Common uses and applications
• Routine dental cleaning and polishing appointments
• Pre-sealant or pre-bonding surface preparation after prophylaxis
• Finishing step following periodontal maintenance
How it compares
• Versus plain pumice: dedicated polishing pastes provide consistent grit, better lubrication, less splatter, and a smoother final finish.
• Versus universal “one-grit” pastes: multi-grit systems allow faster stain removal with coarse or medium, followed by fine for a high luster.
Quality considerations
• Professional-use formulation designed to meet typical dental operatory hygiene expectations. Select grit and packaging to match your clinic’s protocol and patient sensitivity.
