Default Dental Scaling Tools - 04-18-2013, 03:31 AM

Hello Friends,

Dental scaling is used to eliminate bacteria that stick to plaque and hardened plaque, which is called calculus, or tartar. Scaling is nonsurgical, but it's different from a standard dental cleaning in that it involves cleaning the areas of the tooth below the gum line. Scaling is usually the first treatment for periodontal, or gum, disease. Because removing calculus can be painful, the dentist may give you a local anesthetic to desensitize the nerves before the scaling procedure. Scaling is usually done with a combination of ultrasonic and hand instruments called dental scalers.

Thanks and Regards,
Charle Goster

It is true that scaling is the first step for any dental treatment but if you take care of your teeth by the start then you may get rid of it. It is observed that most of the dental patients get swear problems just because of their own careless. If you properly brush your teeth and take good diet then you don`t have need t visit any dentist in life.

Scaling has an advantage of not being as painful as surgical methods of cleaning teeth. At the time of dental scaling no need for cutting, stitching or similar painful procedures. They are as effective as manual instruments for calculus removal.

Dental hygienists use scaling tools to remove plaque and tartar from teeth and gum line to help prevent or treat periodontal disease.
