Teeth scaling, or dental scaling, is a standard dental procedure that involves removing plaque and tartar from the teeth, particularly below the gumline. This process helps in maintaining oral health and preventing gum diseases.
Step-by-step treatment procedure for “Teeth Scaling” at Coral Dental Implants
The dentist or hygienist checks the patient’s mouth for plaque and tartar buildup.
Depending on the extent of the scaling, the dentist might give Local anaesthesia.
The dentist will remove plaque and tartar from the tooth surfaces and below the gumline. The ultrasonic scaler vibrates at high frequencies, breaking up tartar and flushing it out.
Root planting smooths the roots’ surfaces, removes bacterial toxins, and helps gums reattach to teeth. This is important for treating periodontal disease and stopping further gum recession.
The dentist may apply an antimicrobial agent to reduce bacterial growth and prescribe a special mouthwash or antibiotics.
