Professional Scaling
Professional dental cleaning involves the removal of stains, plaque, and tartar that have accumulated on your teeth. The procedure may include tooth scaling to remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line, followed by tooth polishing. Professional cleaning of teeth is sometimes referred to as prophylaxis, which means prevention. It plays an important role in maintaining healthy teeth and gums and preventing periodontal disease.
Even with regular brushing and flossing, tartar can form in difficult-to-reach areas. Professional scaling helps remove this buildup and supports proper oral hygiene.
Tartar formation can accumulate below the gum line and may contribute to bad breath and gum disease. Tooth sensitivity, food impaction, gum recession, bleeding while brushing, or red and inflamed gums may indicate the presence of gum or periodontal disease.
Depending on the severity of your condition, your dentist may recommend simple scaling or other treatments to manage gum disease. In suitable cases, an alternative treatment such as LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) may also be considered.
