✅What is scaling? Scaling is a type of dental cleaning that reaches below the gumline to remove plaque and other infected debris. ✅Why is scaling necessary? Saliva, bacteria, and proteins in your mouth form a thin layer that covers your teeth at almost all times. When you eat, tiny particles, acids, and sugars from the food stick to this film, creating a buildup on the teeth known as plaque. The bacteria that lives in this plaque can cause gum disease and tooth decay. ✅How frequently should scaling be done ? The golden rule is to have a routine dental check up and periodic scaling every 6 months. ✅ Having any of these signs and symptoms??
