Dental Scaling:

Keeping Your Smile Healthy and Bright

Service description

Welcome to Hollywood Clinic, your premier destination for dental care in Istanbul, Turkey. Today, we’re discussing an essential aspect of maintaining optimal oral health: dental scaling.
Dental scaling is a common dental procedure performed to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria buildup from the surfaces of your teeth and along the gumline. It is an essential part of preventive dental care and is typically performed by a dental hygienist or dentist.

Why is Dental Scaling Important?

Preventing Gum Disease:

Plaque and tartar buildup can irritate the gums and lead to gum disease, also known as periodontal disease. Dental scaling helps remove these harmful substances, reducing the risk of gum inflammation, infection, and eventual tooth loss.

Freshening Your Breath:

Bacteria trapped in plaque and tartar can contribute to bad breath, or halitosis. Dental scaling removes these odor-causing bacteria, leaving your breath feeling fresher and more pleasant.

Protecting Your Overall Health:

Gum disease has been linked to various systemic health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory problems. By maintaining good oral hygiene through regular dental scaling, you can help protect your overall health and well-being.

Preventing Tooth Decay:

Plaque buildup on the teeth can contribute to tooth decay and cavities. Dental scaling removes this buildup, helping to prevent decay and preserve the health and integrity of your teeth.

What to Expect During a Dental Scaling Appointment:

Assessment:

Your dental hygienist or dentist will begin by examining your teeth and gums to assess the extent of plaque and tartar buildup and determine the appropriate course of treatment.

Scaling:

Using specialized instruments, your dental professional will carefully remove plaque and tartar from the surfaces of your teeth and along the gumline. This process may take some time, depending on the amount of buildup present.

Root Planning (if needed):

In some cases of advanced gum disease, root planing may be performed to smooth rough spots on the roots of the teeth, making it more difficult for plaque and tartar to adhere.

Polishing:

Once the scaling and root planning (if needed) are complete, your teeth will be polished to remove surface stains and smooth the tooth surfaces.

Education and Prevention:

Your dental professional may provide guidance on proper oral hygiene techniques, including brushing, flossing, and the use of interdental brushes or mouthwash, to help you maintain a healthy smile between appointments.

Maintaining Your Smile After Dental Scaling:

After your dental scaling appointment, it’s essential to continue practicing good oral hygiene habits at home. This includes brushing your teeth at least twice a day, flossing daily, and using an antimicrobial mouthwash as recommended by your dentist. Additionally, be sure to attend regular dental check-ups and cleanings to keep your smile healthy and bright.
