Teeth scaling, also known as dental scaling or deep cleaning, is a dental procedure performed by a dental professional to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the teeth and gums. It involves using specialized tools to clean the tooth surfaces, including below the gumline.

Teeth scaling is typically done as part of a comprehensive oral hygiene treatment to treat and prevent gum disease. It helps to eliminate harmful bacteria and toxins that can cause inflammation, gum bleeding, and bad breath. By removing these deposits, teeth scaling promotes healthier gums and supports overall oral health.

  • Removes plaque and tartar: Eliminates buildup that causes gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath.

  • Prevents and treats gum disease: Cleans below the gum line to restore gum health and reduce complications.

  • Freshens breath: Removes bacteria and debris that cause persistent bad breath.

  • Enhances oral health: Reduces risk of cavities, infections, and promotes healthier teeth and gums.

  • Protects overall health: Good oral hygiene lowers the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory issues.

  • Improves smile aesthetics: Removes stains and tartar, enhancing teeth whiteness and brightness.

Tip: Teeth scaling should be part of a regular oral care routine, including brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. Your dentist can recommend the right frequency for optimal oral health.

Teeth scaling, also called dental scaling or deep cleaning, is performed by a dentist or dental hygienist to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria. The process typically includes:

    • Assessment: Examination of teeth and gums; X-rays may be taken to check for gum disease or bone issues.

    • Numbing: Local anesthetic may be applied for comfort, especially for deep cleaning below the gumline.

    • Scaling: Special tools remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from teeth and gumline.

    • Root Planing (if needed): Smoothing root surfaces to remove rough areas and help gums reattach.

    • Irrigation: Water or antimicrobial solutions flush away debris and bacteria.

    • Follow-up: Dentists provide oral hygiene instructions, home care guidance, and may schedule follow-up visits.

The cost of teeth scaling can vary based on:

  • Severity of the Condition: More plaque, tartar, or gum disease may require longer or multiple sessions.

  • Geographic Location: Prices differ depending on the city or region.

  • Dental Clinic & Expertise: Experienced dentists or specialized clinics may charge higher fees.

  • Additional Treatments: Procedures like root planing, antibiotics, or follow-up visits can increase cost.

  • Insurance Coverage: Some dental insurance plans may partially or fully cover scaling.

Tip: Consult your dentist for an accurate estimate based on your oral health needs and treatment plan.
