Your smile will remain healthy and cheerful if you receive regular scaling & polishing treatment. Regular dental checkups and proper oral hygiene are the only two easy steps to healthy oral hygiene. Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial for maintaining healthy teeth and gums and reducing the likelihood of developing dental issues in the future.
Scaling is a comprehensive dental cleaning that involves smoothing the tooth roots to eliminate bacterial toxins and remove plaque and tartar (calculus) from periodontal pockets in the gums and around the teeth. A dentist will assess your plaque buildup and look for any signs of periodontal disease during the initial examination. Then, they will do a professional cleaning and polish using a combination of contemporary dentistry procedures. Plaque and bacteria from above and below the gum surfaces are eliminated in this way. Your teeth will be polished when the plaque is gone, leaving them feeling smooth and clean. After that, your dentist will demonstrate how to take care of your teeth at home. They will give you guidance on all facets of dental hygiene, such as the proper use of dental floss and toothbrushes.

Poor oral hygiene can lead to a number of health concerns, some of them extremely serious if left untreated. Some of the common signs of poor oral health are bleeding gums, swollen or inflamed gums, loose teeth and bad breath. Research also shows a clear link between periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease, including increased risk of stroke and heart attack, premature birth and an increased risk of pneumonia, particularly in elderly patients.
Periodontal (or gum) disease is a process that starts with a biofilm that adheres to the surface of your teeth. Gums first become red, inflamed and swollen. Later, the bone that supports the teeth is eaten away. In the final stages, this leads to tooth loss.
We all have bacteria in our mouth, even if we have great oral hygiene at home. Plaque is formed when this bacteria mixes with food and proteins in your mouth. It’s the sticky, pale yellow film that coats your teeth and gets under your gum line. If plaque stays on your teeth it can harden into tartar and give you even bigger problems. Tartar build-up can’t be removed at home. It needs to be carefully scraped off by a special scaler tool in a dental clinic. The bacteria in plaque and tartar damages the enamel, or outer layer of your teeth. But if you remove it regularly, you can help prevent tooth decay, receding gums and gum disease.
