What is teeth cleaning ?
Dental health is an important part of your general health. Whatever your age, you should have healthy teeth. Good dental care can help you keep your teeth healthy for a lifetime. The teeth cleaning is known as scaling. Scaling is one such procedure that keeps your gums healthy and firm. It is a procedure used to remove infected deposits like plaque, calculus and stains from the tooth surfaces. Such deposits, if not removed by scaling, it may cause infection and loosening of the gums, ultimately leading to tooth loss. Scaling is a safe and routine procedure at Zaara dental clinic and does not damage the tooth surface in any way.
why scaling is done?
Scaling is done to remove calculus (or) tartar that may develop even with careful brushing and flossing. Scaling is a common non-surgical treatment for removal of infected deposits – tartar or calculus, from the tooth surface. These deposits if not removed, it may lead to development of periodontal disease. In periodontal disease, the pocket between the tooth and gum begins to deepen. This provides an environment for anaerobic bacteria to grow. The bacteria begin to multiply rapidly and infect more of the gum and start dissolving the bone supporting the tooth. This process will progressively result in tooth loss. In order to avoid this destructive process, tooth scaling is done initially to maintain the health of periodontal tissues. Gum care treatment in Madurai at Zaara dental is of very advanced and most innovative approach in India.
How scaling is done?
Scaling is usually done with the help of ultrasonic scalers. These scalers are designed with a hand piece to which a variety of tips can be attached depending on the need. The tip of the device vibrates at a very fast rate and removes the tartar and stains from the outer surface of the tooth. At Zaara we have the most advanced ultrasonic scalers which can give you a pain free cleaning.
Does scaling damage my teeth ?
Many people commonly think that doing scaling will damage their teeth and usually they don’t prefer to do scaling. This kind of thoughts is completely a myth. Actually scaling improves the health of your periodontal tissues and prolongs the efficiency of your tooth.
How frequently scaling should be done?
Plaque formation on the teeth is a continuous process. If this is not removed by brushing it starts mineralizing into tartar within 10-14 hours. The frequency of calculus formation varies from person to person. So, the golden rule is to have a routine dental check up every 6 months. Your dentist will be able to advise you whether you need scaling or not. He will also advise you on the further steps to be taken to maintain healthy teeth. It must be emphasized again that scaling of teeth does not weaken them but prevents gum diseases and if not checked it may lead to more serious and extensive periodontal issues.
