About Teeth Scaling

Teeth scaling, also known as dental prophylaxis or deep cleaning, is a fundamental non-surgical periodontal procedure performed by a dental surgeon or hygienist to remove plaque, tartar (calculus), and stains from the tooth surfaces, both above and below the gumline. This meticulous cleaning is essential for treating and preventing gingivitis and periodontitis, the early and advanced stages of gum disease. Using specialized ultrasonic scalers and hand instruments, the procedure targets areas that regular brushing and flossing cannot reach, effectively eliminating the bacterial biofilm responsible for inflammation and bone loss. Regular teeth scaling is a cornerstone of preventive dental care, promoting optimal oral health, fresher breath, and a brighter smile while safeguarding the foundation of your natural teeth.
