Tooth Cleaning
What is dental scaling?
The treatment, called scaling or deep cleaning, removes the formation of calculus and tartar from the teeth and gums. During this procedure performed by the dentist, food residues and tartar are removed from the tooth surface and under the gum line using special tools.
Why Is Teeth Cleaning Necessary?
Teeth cleaning is very important because calculus and tartar buildup can cause gum disease and other oral health problems. When calculus stays on the teeth and gums, it can cause inflammation and infection that can result in symptoms such as redness, swelling and bleeding.
Periodontitis, another name for gum disease, is an important oral health problem that can damage the gums and the bones that support the teeth. Gum disease can cause tooth loss and other health problems if left untreated. By removing plaque and tartar, scaling can help prevent gum disease and maintain good dental health.
How to clean teeth?
Tooth cleaning is often done together with root correction and gingival treatments. With specialized equipment, tooth cleaning involves removing tartar buildup from the tooth surface and below the gumline. Root straightening straightens the root of the tooth, eliminating rough spots where bacteria can collect. Depending on the amount of buildup and the number of teeth cleaned, scaling can take from 30 minutes to an hour. If it is necessary to numb the gums during the procedure, local anesthetic can be used by your dentist. After cleaning, it is very important to continue to follow a routine of oral hygiene, such as routine brushing and flossing, to prevent future calculus and tartar buildup.
