To explain it, you must first know that poor hygiene often leads to a buildup of plaque in the periodontal pocket (space between the gum, tooth, and bone).
⠀
This plaque is inaccessible by normal brushing as it is covered by the gums, so to remove it it is necessary to carry out a special procedure called scaling.
⠀
This intervention is normally performed without local anesthesia and is responsible for removing these deposits with the help of specialized ultra sound instruments. Descaling not only removes plaque, but also stones that cannot be removed with dental floss or a brush.
⠀
But why is scaling so important as a treatment?
⠀
Letting these deposits of bacterial plaque or saw film roam freely, brings with it the deterioration of the bone in which the teeth are anchored, and may even cause their loss.
⠀
Given this, prevention is better than cure, so if you have plaque problems, recurrent gingivitis, bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, or simply haven't seen your dentist in a long time, ask for your appointment now, we can still help you solve it. .

Have you ever had a scaling done? What was your experience?
