Teeth scaling is the procedure of removing stubborn stains, plaque, and calculus (tartar), from the teeth. A dental scaler is a stainless steel instrument with sharp edges that aids in removing dental plaque and dental tartar from teeth.
A smile is one of the most important assets of a human being. It adds to your personality and appearance. So it has to be maintained by maintaining oral health.
Teeth cleaning or teeth scaling can be performed by a dentist or dental professional only. This is a routine dental procedure advised to be done every 6 months and it is a 30 to 45 minutes procedure. Dental Scaling can remove plaque and tartar from all tooth surfaces with different types of scaling being used concerning the amount of plaque and tartar. The dentist will perform traditional scaling by hand where required.
The teeth are supported by gums around them and the bone underlying the gums. To maintain teeth in healthy condition, one has to take care of the gums surrounding them. The awareness among people regarding the maintenance of oral health is increasing day by day. But certain conditions in the mouth are still neglected by people.
The gums in healthy condition are coral pink in color, surrounding the neck of the tooth in a collar-like fashion following a scalloped outline. But in dark-complexioned individuals, the gums are pigmented due to the presence of more melanin pigment. The consistency of the gums is firm and resilient and the surface texture is similar to an orange peel and referred to as stippled. This ‘stippled’ appearance is absent in infants, seen in children above 5 years, it increases in adulthood, and disappears in old age. The tooth is supported and held in place by gum fibers.
Certain conditions of gums need attention.
Redness of gums
Swelling of gums
Frequent bleeding from gums
Thick deposits over the teeth
Mobility of the teeth
Sensitivity of teeth
Bad breath
Pus discharge from gums
Formation of gaps between teeth
Food lodgement between the teeth
These are the most commonly encountered problems which if not attended to soon, can worsen. Redness, swelling, and bleeding of gums are suggestive of inflammation of the gums. This condition is termed ‘Gingivitis’. This, when worsened, leads to pus formation in the gums, loss of internal bone structure, and ultimately mobility and tooth loss.
As we eat regularly, the food particles keep depositing on the tooth surfaces and gums margin. The bacteria in our saliva use proteins and uncleaned deposits of food and forms a yellowish sticky layer on teeth and gums called ‘Dental plaque’.
The long-standing and ignored plaque is acted upon by the bad bacteria and over some time it develops into a thick solid stone-like structure over the tooth and root surfaces underneath the gums called ‘dental calculus’.
Dental Plaque is caused by bacteria in the mouth releasing an acid that attacks the teeth' enamel. Teeth plaque leads to tooth decay (dental caries) and gum diseases (bleeding gums). To prevent plaque to build up you should brush your teeth twice a day, use mouthwash and floss your teeth daily.
The best time to brush your teeth is before going to bed and after breakfast. This is the maximum time our teeth remain clean.
The ideal time to do proper tooth brushing is 2 minutes. To ensure that you are giving 2 minutes to your teeth cleaning, you can use a 2-minute hourglass or timer.
Teeth Polishing is used to make teeth surfaces smooth after teeth washing making it difficult for plaque and debris to accumulate on your teeth that cause decay or gum disease. Teeth scaling is needed to remove the plaque and keep the teeth clean while teeth polishing is done to make it hard for the plaque to cling to the teeth and gum margins. Dental polishing is performed by rubbing the polishing rubber cups or round brush over the teeth surfaces restoring the shine of teeth.
Teeth Polishing is a preventive procedure as a first-line defense against dental problems. Teeth Polishing is done with rotary power brushes to expedite the cleaning process by quickly removing tenacious stains such as those caused by coffee, tea, wine, and other foods. It is a common practice done with a mildly abrasive paste that includes re-mineralizing ingredients such as fluoride and calcium and the like, which serve to reinvigorate and reinforce weakened tooth structure.
Many people avoid teeth cleaning because they think that scraping the teeth just isn’t good for them. However, this is not the case.
The dentist uses blunt scaler tips which cannot scarp off the enamel, the scaler tips used to do scaling can only remove the tartar. In the hands of a skilled professional in our clinic, there is no need to worry about damaging your teeth after scaling. Our tooth's outer surface called enamel is the hardest substance in the body and dulls the stainless steel instruments used to do cleanings. Additionally, if the dentist uses ultrasonic scalers to remove the hard deposits, then there is even less risk of damage to the teeth.
There may be some sensitivity for a period after your teeth are cleaned, particularly in cases where a lot of cleaning is done. So people get worried for the time being, otherwise, it is a myth that teeth scaling weakens the teeth.
