Descaling
Scaling is performed using an instrument called an ultrasonic scaler, which removes tartar and plaque using ultrasonic vibrations.
The dentist may also use hand instruments such as curettes to remove stubborn deposits.
After scaling, the dentist will polish the teeth to remove residual stains and debris, and may apply a fluoride treatment to strengthen the tooth enamel.
Scaling is an important treatment for maintaining good oral health and preventing dental disease. Scaling is recommended at least once a year, but this may vary depending on the individual needs of each patient.
