Scaling calculus is usually harmless. Removing calculus through scaling is an effective way to maintain periodontal health.
1. Because the teeth themselves are noticeably loose due to periodontal resorption, calculus plays a role in holding them in place, but calculus is not something that normally exists. It consists of a long-term mixture of saliva, bacteria and food debris. Plaque will be formed first and deposited layer by layer, resulting in the formation of dental calculus.
2. In general, it is a solid stone-like substance attached to the surface of the teeth, which is the breeding ground and basic condition for gingivitis and periodontitis. Therefore, it is clinically necessary to remove calculus and plaque to obtain a healthy periodontal condition.
It is recommended that patients with dental calculus must pay attention to adjusting their dietary structure, developing good living habits, cleaning their teeth, rinsing their mouths before and after eating, and taking good care of their mouths. If any other discomfort occurs, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time.
