SCALING AND POLISHING
~case by: Dr Malar~
Scaling and polishing is important because it helps remove deposits that normal brushing and flossing cannot completely clean, especially around the gumline.
π¦· Why scaling and polishing are important
1. Removes tartar (calculus)
2. Prevents gum disease
3. Reduces bad breath
4. Helps prevent tooth decay
5. Removes stains
6. Keeps teeth and gums healthier
ποΈ How often?
For many people, a professional cleaning every 6 months is reasonable. However, people with gum disease, heavy tartar buildup, smoking habits, braces, or certain medical conditions may need cleaning more frequently.
In simple terms:
Brushing and flossing maintain your oral hygiene at home, while scaling removes hardened deposits that you cannot remove yourself, and polishing helps remove surface stains and leaves the teeth smoother.
