Teeth scaling, also known as dental scaling, is a professional dental cleaning procedure performed by a dentist or dental hygienist. It involves the removal of plaque, tartar (calculus), and stains from the teeth, particularly in areas that are difficult to reach through regular brushing and flossing. Scaling is typically done using specialized instruments like ultrasonic scalers or hand scalers. The procedure aims to prevent and treat gum disease by eliminating the buildup of bacteria and plaque that can lead to inflammation, bleeding gums, and eventual tooth loss if left untreated. Scaling is an essential part of maintaining good oral hygiene and should be done regularly, usually every 6-12 months, depending on individual needs and oral health status. It's often combined with dental polishing to smoothen the tooth surfaces and enhance their appearance. Regular scaling can help keep your teeth and gums healthy, preventing more serious dental issues in the long
