Scaling (Tartar Removal)

Dental scaling (detartrage) involves removing hardened plaque deposits (tartar) from the tooth surfaces using special ultrasonic devices. Because plaque and tartar buildup can lead to gum recession, bleeding, and bad breath, regular cleaning is essential. Scaling is not just a cosmetic procedure—it is fundamental for maintaining gum health. After cleaning, tooth surfaces become smoother, making it harder for new plaque to accumulate. Regular scaling can prevent the progression of gum disease and supports overall oral health.
