- Scaling and Polishing
One of the most common dental procedures that help in the elimination of infections is scaling and polishing. It can be performed manually or through the laser and focuses on improving your oral hygiene. This procedure involves the removal of debris, plaque on the teeth or below the gum line, tartar, and stains from your teeth, which cannot be removed by brushing and flossing alone.
Scaling involves the use of ultrasonic dental instruments to remove the hard deposits. This helps to prevent gingivitis and periodontitis. Subgingival scaling is usually done with local anesthesia to ensure the patient’s comfort.
Polishing, as a part of scaling, involves the use of a special paste and a rubber cup or brush to remove surface stains and make your teeth shiny and smooth. This also helps to remove any remaining plaque and prevent future buildup.
Sometimes normal brushing isn’t enough and this is where scaling and polishing is important. Regular scaling and polishing helps keep your teeth and gums healthy. It is recommended that you visit your dentist for scaling and polishing at least twice a year, or more often if your dentist advises it.
Bad breath or a bad taste that lasts for more than a few hours could be a sign of gum disease or other dental problems that require scaling and polishing.
If you notice bleeding gums frequently when you brush or floss your teeth, it may indicate the presence of gum disease.
The presence of a yellow or brown buildup on your teeth, especially around the gum line at the front or backside of the tooth could be plaque or tartar buildup
Sensitivity while eating or drinking could be a sign of enamel erosion or gum recession.
If your teeth appear discoloured or stained, scaling and polishing can help to remove surface stains and restore the natural colour of your teeth.
Scaling and polishing is a common dental procedure that is performed by a dentist. The procedure typically takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the extent of the cleaning required. Here are the general steps involved in the scaling and polishing procedure:
