Teeth Scaling

Listing ID #5440013

What is teeth scaling and why is it required?
Scaling is a treatment which cleans teeth by removing food particles (which are present in the teeth as well as the gums), tartar, external strains which are difficult to remove while brushing. Scaling is a regular procedure and it does not affect ones teeth, in fact it cleans teeth and maintains dental hygiene .No anesthesia is required in this process. Calculus/tarter gets deposited between the teeth and the gums which causes tooth fall and unhealthy gums over a period of time. Hence scaling helps to maintain healthy teeth.
What is calculus/tarter?
Plaque is sticky, soft, colorless deposit of food particles and bacteria on the teeth. Such bacteria multiply very fast and lead to gum infection and bleeding of gums. Bacteria can be removed by brushing of teeth, but after11-14 hours of brushing these bacteria forms calculus .Calculus cannot be removed by brushing and requires teeth scaling.
What are the myths about teeth scaling?
People have some doubts/ negative view about scaling .There is certain myths such:-
The gap between the gums and the teeth increases
teeth become weak and shaky
teeth become sensitive
There are a few scientific reasons that go against these myths:-
Some feel that scaling results in gap between teeth which is wrong, the gap can be seen because the tarter between the teeth gets cleaned up in scaling
Some feel that the teeth become shaky, but acc. to scientists the tarter has a negative impact on natural bonding/attachment of the teeth and the gums. The teeth which are already shaky are held by tarter and when scaling is done the teeth seems shaky.
When the tarter gets removed the area gets exposed which causes mild sensitivity, but that goes in1/2days.Hence the teeth becomes healthy after scaling.
