You have to visit the dentist at least every six months for your dental check-up and dental cleaning, which is also called dental scaling.The plaque and tartar attached to your teeth harbor bacteria that cause gum damage.Regular scaling plus home care helps you to keep your gums healthy and free from gingivitis.
After the scaling procedure, your teeth will be polished to make sure that the surface is smooth and clean.
Every time you visit the dentist, it is essential to have the check up done. This will help to control minor issues in the very beginning.
Dental scaling is done using ultrasonic instruments and hand instruments.A typical procedure involves 45 minutes. This removes the tartar and plaque attached to your teeth. If you already have gum disease, you may need root scaling or root cleaning to keep the area clean and smooth.
Usually, dental scaling is a very comfortable procedure and tolerated by most of the patients.Some have sensitive gums/teeth and may experience mild sensitivity.In these cases, the tissues are numbed to make it comfortable for the patient.
Most of the insurances cover the cost of scaling and check up. At Polaris Dental, we bill your insurance directly for this procedure.
