The bacteria that grow on your teeth can cause tooth decay, gum disease, and other significant health conditions like heart issues.
Gum disease, commonly known as periodontal disease, can be prevented through dental scaling. Scaling aids in preventing the development of gingivitis, the milder stage of gum disease, into periodontitis and other more serious conditions by eliminating calculus and bacteria from the gum pockets. Scaling can help maintain the health of the gums and stop tooth loss by treating gum disease in its early stages.
This technique is quite common and is performed on almost everyone. This technique, however, is frequently performed in conjunction with root planing. This is sometimes referred to as "deep cleaning." Teeth scaling and root planing provide a deeper cleaning than a regular cleaning, which aids in the treatment of chronic periodontal disease.
This operation is performed in our dental clinic by our periodontist in a single session; however, depending on the severity of your problem, it may be performed in two or more appointments. This operation does not normally require the use of a local anaesthetic; nevertheless, sensitive people may want to discuss their choices with our dentist.
Our Periodontist will start by scaling your teeth. This comprises scraping plaque and tartar from your teeth as well as any pockets that may have formed between your gums and teeth.

How is scaling accomplished?
Our periodontist employs a variety of procedures, including:
1. Scaling by ultrasonic:. Ultrasonic scaling instruments remove plaque from the teeth by vibrating the metal tip and spraying it with water.
2.

The treatment consists of applying a dye to the teeth to make biofilm visible, removing biofilm with AirFlow® and PerioFlow® technology, and removing any remaining calculus with Piezon® technology. This procedure is appropriate for people of all ages and dental circumstances, and it can be done on natural teeth, implants, and dental restorations.This is first to be introduced by Q Dental by our periodontists with an affordable prize and also with the best introductory offers.
