No matter how well you brush and floss at home, plaque and tartar build up in places a toothbrush simply can’t reach. That’s where professional scaling comes in.
What Is Scaling?
Scaling is a professional deep-cleaning procedure that removes plaque and hardened tartar from above and below the gumline, using specialized dental instruments.
Why It Matters
Left untreated, tartar buildup leads to gum inflammation, bad breath, and eventually gum disease, which can loosen and even cause the loss of otherwise healthy teeth.
What to Expect
The procedure is quick and generally comfortable. You may notice mild sensitivity for a day or two afterward, especially if it’s been a while since your last cleaning.
How Often Should You Get It Done?
We recommend professional scaling every six months as part of a routine checkup, or more often if you’re prone to tartar buildup or gum sensitivity.
