Dental scaling is a professional dental procedure used to remove plaque, tartar (calculus), and bacteria from the surfaces of your teeth and below the gum line. It helps prevent and treat gum disease.

Why is dental scaling done?

• Removes hardened tartar that brushing cannot remove.

• Treats gingivitis and periodontitis (gum disease).

• Reduces bleeding, swollen gums, and bad breath.

• Helps prevent tooth loss caused by gum disease.
