Scaling

  • “the removal of calcareous deposits from the teeth using suitable instruments”
  • Scaling is recommended at different intervals depending on the amount of calculus and plaque deposits that you accumulate over a period of time.  Scaling the deposits above and below the gum line is directly related to the prevention of gingivitis and periodontitis.  Every individual will accumulate different amounts of plaque and calculus, and therefore some may require having more frequent dental scalings  (cleanings) depending on the condition of the mouth.  Teeth cleaning can be performed using a variety of different techniques such as hand scalers, a cavitron or graphite scalers for those with sensitive teeth.
