People eat a variety of food, will leave traces on the tooth surface, these traces alone every morning and evening brushing is difficult to clear clean, not to mention that some people do not have good oral hygiene habits, over time formed tartar, pigment and other stubborn tartar. Tartar is the main cause of periodontal disease, periodontal disease causes inflammation of the gums, bleeding and oral odor, in serious cases, the patient’s teeth loose, displaced, and even fall out, the so-called “old teeth” is caused by periodontal disease. Daily brushing is not a substitute for scaling, even if you brush your teeth carefully, there are still some places where you can’t brush, and over time, these places will also breed tartar, so you should regularly go to the hospital to remove these tartar clean. If conditions allow, it is best to have a dental cleaning every six months to one year. Ultrasonic Scaling Overview: Supragingival Scaling (commonly known as scaling) refers to the removal of supragingival tartar, plaque and discoloration and polishing of the tooth surface with a scaling instrument to delay plaque and tartar redeposition. However, since supragingival tartar is often connected with subgingival tartar, professional scaling should remove tartar in the gingival sulcus at the same time, that is, about 3mm below the gingival margin, and for deeper subgingival tartar, subgingival scaling should be done later. Indications: Anyone suffering from gingivitis and periodontitis needs scaling. Contraindications: Ultrasonic scaling is prohibited for patients with pacemakers, blood diseases such as acute leukemia, aplastic anemia, acute hepatitis, AIDS. Patients with uncontrolled diabetes, hypertension, acute periodontal abscess. IV. Frequently Asked Questions: 1. Why do we need (scaling) dental cleaning? Tartar and plaque attached to the surface of tartar is an important cause of periodontal disease. Tartar itself stimulates the gums, plus bacterial toxins lead to inflammation of periodontal tissues, redness, swelling, bleeding and pus of the gums, and attraction of the alveolar bone, finally causing loosening and loss of teeth. 2.Introduction of dental cleaning instruments: At present, ultrasonic treatment instrument is mostly used. It removes tartar and plaque through the high-frequency vibration of ultrasonic waves and has the characteristics of high efficiency, high quality, time and effort saving, and under the correct operation, the damage to the tooth surface is minimal. Scaling is one of the basic treatment items for periodontal disease, which can remove disease-causing factors, reduce gum inflammation, and make the teeth beautiful and comfortable.

After scaling, it usually does not affect eating, but because of the tooth structure, i.e., the dental bone in the neck is very thin, some people will have sensitivity symptoms after scaling, especially the heavier the tartar, the more obvious the periodontal inflammation, and the more obvious the allergy symptoms. The pain of this allergy is secondary, short-lived, and disappears when the stimulus is removed, and generally does not require special treatment, and disappears gradually in 1-2 weeks. More serious cases can be desensitization treatment. 2.The main thing to do after scaling is self-maintenance of oral hygiene, such as using mouthwash, using the correct method of brushing, using dental floss, tooth-tip brush, etc., in order to control the formation of plaque. Possible phenomena after scaling: 1, teeth sensitive to hot and cold, generally after a period of time the symptoms will gradually reduce until disappear. 2, gum bleeding after scaling especially gum redness is more obvious, generally bleeding will stop within a short period of time, if a long time bleeding should be immediately follow-up examination. When scaling, choose a regular hospital unit, dental cleaning requires expertise and technology, disinfection is guaranteed, but also may cause the scaling of the person infected with disease, or loss of gums.
