Scaling and Polishing
Overview:
Indeed, even with customary and appropriate brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar will in any case develop after some time.
Spit in our mouths contains calcium and microbes. Dental plaque is a delicate film wrapping teeth which comprises of thousands of various kinds of microorganisms implanted in a framework of proteins, sugars and lipids. Calcified (solidified) dental plaque is known as tartar. Brushing and flossing may eliminate some plaque yet can’t eliminate gathered tartar.
Why the requirement
Scaling eliminates plaque and tartar and cleaning eliminates stains and remaining plaque while smoothening and sparkling teeth so dental plaque can’t connect effectively to tooth surfaces.
Polishing may then be followed by a fluoride gel or foam treatment to reduce post-scaling sensitivity and reduce the risk of tooth decay.
