Tartar removal, also known as dental scaling, is a crucial dental procedure aimed at removing plaque and tartar (calculus) that have built up on the teeth’s surfaces and below the gum line. Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that can harden into tartar if not regularly cleaned away. Tartar cannot be removed with brushing and flossing alone and requires professional dental cleaning. Regular tartar removal is essential for maintaining oral health, preventing gum disease, and ensuring the longevity of your teeth. This procedure is a routine part of dental care and plays a critical role in the prevention of oral health issues.
Initial assessment of the teeth and gums to identify tartar buildup.
The dentist or dental hygienist uses specialized tools, such as an ultrasonic scaler and hand scalers, to gently remove tartar from above and below the gum line.
After scaling, teeth are polished to remove surface stains and smooth the enamel, making it more difficult for plaque to adhere.
Optionally, a fluoride treatment may be applied to strengthen the teeth and prevent cavities.
