Scaling is needed on a regular
basis by every one. it is suggested that scaling
should ideally be done at six monthly intervals.
Plaque and calculus is deposited in every one's mouth. The
calcium that is present in the saliva causes the plaque to
get calcified and hard. This results in the fact that it
cannot be cleaned by brushing no matter what.The only method to get rid of this calculus
is get the Dentist to do a Scaling. These
days very efficient ultrasonic scalers
are available. The tips vibrate at a very high frequency
and fragment the calculus. The accompanying water spray
washes the debris out. A suction is used to just suck this
out. The end result is a clean mouth that is not only more
hygenic but also better looking.
Bad breath is caused by bacteria that are
present in the plaque and calculus. Removal of the plaque
and calculus also removes bad breath.
If not done on a regular basis, the bacteria cause the
bone that holds the teeth in place to be lost. This leads
to loosening of the teeth.
