Scaling

A basic gum care procedure that removes calculus and plaque built up on the teeth.

Hardened calculus that cannot be removed by brushing is taken off with instruments such as an ultrasonic scaler, which helps prevent and relieve gum inflammation. Regular scaling is the most basic preventive care for keeping periodontitis from progressing, and an interval of about 6 months to 1 year is generally recommended.
