What is Scaling?

Scaling is a deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from your teeth. Plaque is a sticky layer of bacteria that accumulates on your teeth and, if not removed, hardens into tartar, which only a dental professional can remove. Scaling helps to eliminate this buildup, improving your oral hygiene and preventing gum disease, cavities, and bad breath. It’s an essential part of maintaining your dental health and keeping your smile fresh and clean.

The Scaling Procedure

Our scaling process is simple and effective. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

1. Consultation & Diagnosis: We begin by evaluating your oral health and the extent of plaque and tartar buildup. In some cases, X-rays may be taken to assess the health of your gums and teeth.
2. Scaling: Using specialized instruments, your dentist carefully removes plaque and tartar from the surface of your teeth, including areas below the gumline.
3. Polishing: Once scaling is complete, your teeth are polished to remove any remaining debris and leave your smile feeling smooth and clean.

Benefits of Scaling

• Prevention of Gum Disease: Regular scaling prevents the buildup of plaque and tartar, reducing the risk of gingivitis and periodontitis.
• Improved Oral Health: By eliminating harmful bacteria, scaling helps protect against tooth decay, cavities, and bad breath.
• Healthier Gums: Scaling helps reduce inflammation and bleeding in the gums, promoting better gum health.
• Cleaner Smile: Your teeth will feel cleaner, smoother, and look brighter after a professional scaling treatment.

Why Scaling Matters

Scaling is a crucial step in maintaining optimal oral health. It helps remove the bacteria and plaque that can lead to gum disease, cavities, and tooth loss. Regular scaling treatments not only protect your teeth and gums but also contribute to fresher breath and a more confident smile. Neglecting this important cleaning can lead to serious dental problems down the road.
