Dental scaling is a routine dental procedure which needs to be done as an essential part of maintaining good oral hygiene.
Imagine your teeth have a layer of plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) that's accumulated over time. Dental scaling is a process where your dentist or hygienist removes this buildup using specialized tools.

The process of dental scaling:

• Plaque and tartar build up on your teeth, leading to gum inflammation and potential infections.
• Your dentist or hygienist uses an ultrasonic scaler to remove the plaque and tartar, both above and below the gum line.
• The treatment plays a role in prevention of systemic diseases as inflammation of the gum , apart from local reason, could be an indicator of underlying systemic disease.
