Is regular teeth cleaning necessary? Teeth scaling uses professional equipment and technology to remove plaque and calculus around the teeth. Scaling can not only clean the teeth, but also prevent periodontal disease. Plaque is the culprit of dental calculus, and dental calculus is the best place to provide plaque accumulation. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to remove this place where the teeth are attached, so that we can avoid the trouble of periodontal disease.
In addition to removing calculus, scaling can also check for new cavities, in order to fill them early and prevent the sequelae of cavities. The teeth cleaning program also includes an important step, that is, oral hygiene education, to help patients understand periodontal disease and adjust their brushing and flossing methods.
