    What is Teeth Scaling?

    Teeth scaling is a dental procedure aimed at removing plaque and tartar that accumulate on the surface of the teeth and beneath the gums. Plaque and tartar are hardened layers formed from leftover food, bacteria, and minerals in saliva. If not removed in a timely manner, they can lead to various oral health issues such as:

    • Gingivitis: Red, swollen gums that bleed easily.
    • Periodontitis: Destruction of the alveolar bone, causing loose teeth that may fall out.
    • Cavities: Plaque promotes bacterial growth, leading to tooth decay.
    • Bad Breath: Bacteria in plaque can cause unpleasant odors.

    Who Should Undergo Scaling, Polishing & Air Abrasion for Teeth?

    The general dental services of scaling, polishing, and air abrasion are typically recommended for the following cases:

    Individuals with significant plaque buildup, causing discoloration of the teeth.

    Individuals with gingivitis, periodontitis, or bleeding gums.

    Individuals with tooth sensitivity or experiencing dental pain.

    Individuals who require routine dental care every six months.
