Many people have heard the word “scaling”, and dentists often recommend that patients “scaling”, but many patients who have had their teeth cleaned will tell others that their teeth will become loose, sore, teeth are worn thin, and the gap between teeth becomes larger. Is it because the doctor is fooling around? What is the matter with scaling and should it be done or not? If you look in the mirror at the lingual side of your lower front teeth (the side against your tongue), many people will find that there is some yellow tartar near the gums, which is very hard and cannot be brushed off, which is tartar. How is tartar formed? We brush our teeth every day, it is impossible to remove all the dirty things, if 10% is left every time, over time, these things will calcify and harden, and deposit, forming tartar. Tartar has a rough surface, which is especially easy to attach bacteria, and even protects them from being cleaned off, while mechanically stimulating the gums, forming gingivitis over time, which can lead to bleeding and swelling of the gums.
