Read more to know everything about teeth scaling and why it is necessary for your oral hygiene.

 

What is Teeth Scaling?

Teeth scaling is a periodontal therapy that is non-surgical and used for deep cleaning teeth. Dental scaling is frequently done to assist patients with gum disease and severe plaque buildup. Scaling reaches much deeper than routine brushing. It may be helpful for you to understand what dental scaling and root planing means if your dentist recommends it. You should consult an experienced dentist at versatile dental clinic to know whether you need a scaling or teeth whitening procedure in Dubai.

 

Why is tooth scaling necessary?

If your mouth exhibits symptoms of persistent periodontal disease, your dentist will advise teeth scaling and root planing. These treatments can lessen the negative consequences of this condition and maintain the health of your mouth.

 

Chronic periodontal disease develops when the bacteria in plaque lead your gums to detach from your teeth. Larger spaces between your teeth and gums result from this, where more bacteria can thrive where your toothbrush cannot reach. Left untreated, it can cause severe gum issues like bone and tissue loss, loose teeth, or moving teeth.

 

Benefits of teeth scaling.

If gum disease causes your gums to move away from your teeth leading to pocket formation, having a depth of more than 5 millimeters (mm), you may require teeth scaling. The distance between your gums and teeth may grow if gum disease worsens. This may weaken the bones that hold your teeth in place, leading to missing or loose teeth.

 

Benefits of thorough cleaning, if your dentist suggests one, include:

 

●      Ceasing the spread of gum disease.

●      Cleaning your teeth above and below the gum line to treat an existing infection and encourage recovery

●      Removing gum disease-related foul breath

●      Preserving the teeth's roots.

 

How does it feel during scaling - Pain or discomfort?

Dental scaling can be unpleasant (for a few), especially if your gums are sensitive. Some people experience little pain too. For more comfortable treatment, your dentist may recommend a local anesthetic.
