Professional Teeth Cleaning for Healthier Gums and Fresher Smile
At Astha Multi Speciality Dental Clinic, Palanpur, scaling is one of the most effective procedures we offer to maintain your oral hygiene. Scaling, also known as dental cleaning, is the process of removing plaque, tartar (calculus), and food debris from the surfaces of your teeth and around restorations using an ultrasonic scaler.
Tartar is the hardened form of plaque that appears as yellow, brown, or even blackish deposits between the teeth and gums. Left untreated, it can lead to bleeding gums, bad breath, gum infections, and eventually loose or mobile teeth. Scaling removes these deposits safely and efficiently, improving gum health and preventing long-term damage.
In many cases, patients may have dark stains despite not smoking or consuming tea/coffee. This can be due to chromogenic bacteria present in saliva, which also causes unsightly discoloration. These stains cannot be removed by regular brushing but can be effectively eliminated by scaling and polishing.
Scaling is carried out using an ultrasonic scaler—a machine that uses sound waves to loosen and remove tartar without scratching or damaging the tooth enamel. The procedure is painless, does not require anesthesia, and is completely safe for your teeth and gums.
