What is Teeth Cleaning or Scaling?
Teeth cleaning, also known as scaling, is the process of removing plaque and tartar buildup from the surfaces of your teeth and along the gum line. Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that can accumulate on your teeth, while tartar is hardened plaque that can only be removed by a dentist or dental hygienist. Scaling helps in cleaning hard-to-reach areas and prevents further oral health issues like gum disease.
