Scaling, also known as professional teeth cleaning, removes plaque, tartar, and stains that normal brushing canβt reach. It keeps your gums healthy, prevents bad breath, and protects your teeth from decay and infection.
Plaque and tartar harden over time, leading to gum problems and tooth sensitivity. Regular scaling keeps your teeth and gums clean, healthy, and protected β before small issues become serious.
Everyone benefits from routine scaling every 6 months, but itβs especially important if you notice gum bleeding, bad breath, or visible tartar deposits. Scaling restores gum health and prevents long-term damage.
The procedure is quick and comfortable. Your dentist uses an ultrasonic scaler to safely remove tartar and plaque from above and below the gum line. Most patients feel instant freshness after cleaning.
