What exactly are teeth scaling?
- Teeth scaling is a dental procedure aimed at removing plaque, tartar, and stains from the surfaces of teeth.
- It involves using specialized dental tools to carefully scrape away buildup from both above and below the gumline.
- Scaling helps prevent gum disease by eliminating bacterial buildup that can lead to inflammation and infection.
- The procedure is typically performed by a dental hygienist or dentist using manual or ultrasonic scalers.
- Scaling is recommended as part of routine dental hygiene to maintain oral health and prevent more serious dental problems.
- It may be accompanied by a procedure called root planing, which smoothens the tooth roots to discourage bacterial growth and promote gum reattachment to the teeth.
Benefits of Teeth scaling
- Teeth scaling removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria buildup, reducing the risk of gum disease, cavities, and bad breath.
- Regular scaling helps prevent gingivitis and periodontitis by removing plaque and calculus, which are major contributors to gum inflammation and infection.
- Scaling eliminates the bacteria responsible for causing bad breath, resulting in fresher breath and improved overall oral hygiene.
- Scaling removes surface stains, restoring the natural whiteness of teeth and improving their appearance.
- By addressing gum disease and preventing its progression, scaling can help maintain the health of gums and teeth, reducing the likelihood of tooth loss.
- Oral health is linked to systemic health, and regular scaling can contribute to the prevention of conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, which are associated with poor oral hygiene.
