Preventive

Teeth scaling is a treatment method that removes dental calculus with professional equipment, in order to achieve the effect of cleaning teeth and relieving periodontal disease. The cleaning process is normally divided into three steps: 1. Removing calculus with ultrasonic instruments 2. Scraping 3. Polishing and caries prevention. Scaling is arguably the most effective preventive measure against dental disease. Scaling not only relieves and treats periodontal disease, but also improve overall health. Furthermore, dental hygienists can detect the early signs of dental lesions by examining the patient's mouth, which greatly reduces the potential cost of treatment for the patient. Scientific research has found that people who regularly visit dental clinic for cleaning are less likely to lose their teeth than those who neglect periodontal care.

If you neglect to dental cleaning, the accumulation of calculus can lead to gingivitis and periodontal disease. Periodontal disease is a chronic oral disease formed by the deterioration of gingivitis. The symptoms of periodontal disease in the early stage are often only mild bleeding gums without pain. If not treated on time, bacteria will expand from the gaps in the gums into the deep area of the gums. This will create a gap between the teeth and the gum, forming periodontal pockets. If bacteria continue to grow in the periodontal pocket, the roots of the teeth and alveolar bone will be damaged, causing the teeth to be loose and eventually will fall off. According to scientific research, people who has regular dental cleaning are less likely to lose their teeth than those who neglect periodontal care.
