When it comes to your oral health, most people focus on brushing and avoiding eating sweets. But do you know that regular dental scaling plays a very crucial role in preventing tooth loss! At Singh Dental Care, we believe prevention is always better than cure and professional scaling is one of the simplest ways to protect your natural set of teeth for life.

So What Is Dental Scaling?

Dental scaling is a professional cleaning procedure of teeth performed by a dentist to remove the accumulated plaque and the hardened tartar (calculus) from above and below the gums. Even with proper brushing and flossing, some areas of the mouth are very difficult to clean, allowing the plaque to build up over time.

If left unattended, this buildup can lead to serious gum issues and eventually cause loss of teeth.

How Can Scaling Prevent Loss Of Teeth?

Tooth loss doesn’t happen all of a sudden, it is usually the result of a long-standing gum disease. Here’s how the regular scaling helps –

1. Prevents Gum Issues (Periodontitis)

Accumulated plaque and tartar irritate the gums and surrounding areas, causing inflammation, bleeding, and infection. Scaling removes these harmful deposits, also prevents any gum issues from progressing further.

2. Stops Bone Loss Around The Tooth Area

Advanced gum diseases damage the bone that supports your teeth’s structure and surrounding. Regular scaling will help in maintaining healthy gums and bone, keeping the teeth firmly in their place.

3. Reduces Mobility of Teeth

As gum diseases progress, teeth become loose and mobile. Timely scaling strengthens tissue and gum health which helps in reducing the risk of tooth loss.

4. Prevention of Bad Breath

Persistent bad breath is caused by bacteria trapped in plaque and tartar. Scaling effectively eliminates these bad odor-causing bacteria.

Signs That You Need Dental Scaling –

You need professional scaling if you notice these signs –

> Bleeding from gums during brushing

> Swollen gums or redness of gums

> Bad breath that stays for long and doesn’t go away easily 

> Yellow or brown spots/deposits on surface of teeth

> Receding of gums or loosening of  teeth

Ignoring these signs increases the risk of permanent loss of tooth.

How Often Should You Visit Your Dentist For Your Scaling Session?

Most of the patients need to undergo their dental scaling sessions every 6 months. However, if some patients have issues like – 

> Gum diseases

> Diabetes and related issues

> Smoking and Drinking habits

In such cases, your dentist might recommend more frequent cleaning sessions for you.

At Singh Dental Care, our dentists assess complete oral conditions of the patients and create a personalized preventive care plan for them.

So Do You Think That Scaling Is Painful?

Many patients worry about discomfort and loosening of teeth after scaling, but scaling is usually painless and doesn’t cause any side effects. In cases of sensitive gums or where deep gum cleaning is required, gentle techniques and local anesthesia should be used to ensure comfort.
