All About Scaling And Polishing of Teeth

What is dental cleaning?

Normally, plaque and tartar build up in your teeth and gums. It will not be cleaned by regular brushing or flossing. Dentists use ultrasonic equipment to remove these deposits. This process keeps your teeth clean and prevents cavities.

Why is it necessary?

Plaque is a sticky layer that continuously forms on your teeth. Plaque should be removed daily with dental floss and brushing. When this plaque remains on the teeth for a long time without being washed away, it forms a layer called tartar. This is a layer of dirty mineral deposits. Once trained, you cannot clean it with regular brushing. Professional Scaling Polishing in Amanora is just a lifesaver at this stage.

This procedure is essential to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth. If not cleaned, cavities will begin to form.

How often should you do this?

Your dentist can tell you how often you should do this. Most dentists recommend getting it done twice a year. If you maintain exceptionally good oral hygiene, some of them recommend having this done once a year.

How is it done?

Scraper Ultrasonic dental calculus is widely used in the descaling process. The ultrasonic scaler consists of a handpiece with different heads that are used depending on the type of tartar that needs to be removed. The device head vibrates at a very fast speed and removes tartar and stains from the outer surface of the teeth.

Is this painful? Is there bleeding?

If there is only tartar on the surface, it may not cause pain. If deep deposits are present, your dentist will usually use a local anesthetic before performing the procedure. Light bleeding is possible because plaque and tartar often cause sore gums, and touching severely inflamed gums can cause bleeding.

“I heard that teeth became loose after intervention. Really?

This is a common MYTH. Teeth may appear “loose” after the procedure, especially if you have periodontal disease. However, it is not due to the procedure.

Even when supporting structures such as gums and bone are lost, the tartar surrounding the teeth can still hold the teeth together and create a feeling of stability. The tooth loses its "false anchor" and could appear loose once this tartar is removed.

“Will this be enough to reverse my gum disease ?”

In the early stages of gum disease, a cleaning or scaling may be enough. However, if gum disease has progressed to other stages such as periodontitis, further treatment may be needed. Scaling and polishing regularly for a brighter, healthier smile.
