Scaling is a dental procedure aimed at removing plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth and below the gumline, contributing to overall oral health and preventing periodontal disease. The procedure involves the use of specialized dental instruments, including hand scalers and ultrasonic devices, to clean and smooth the surfaces of the teeth. Scaling is typically performed during a professional dental cleaning or prophylaxis, often accompanied by root planing, which is the process of smoothing the root surfaces to remove any remaining bacteria and promote gum reattachment. Plaque is a soft, sticky film of bacteria that forms on the teeth and can harden into tartar (calculus) if not removed through regular brushing and flossing. Tartar buildup can lead to gum inflammation, gingivitis, and if left untreated, progress to periodontitis, which can cause tooth loss. Scaling helps to prevent these conditions by eliminating plaque and tartar and allowing the gums to heal and reattach to the tooth surface. While scaling is generally a safe and effective procedure, potential complications can arise. These may include temporary gum sensitivity or discomfort, which can occur as the teeth and gums adjust to the cleaning. In some cases, the scaling process might cause minor gum irritation or bleeding, particularly if there is significant tartar buildup or underlying periodontal disease. However, these symptoms are typically short-lived and subside as the gums heal. Proper follow-up care, including maintaining good oral hygiene practices and regular dental check-ups, is essential for ensuring long-term oral health and preventing the recurrence of plaque and tartar buildup.
