The bacteria that grow on your teeth can cause
tooth decay, gum disease, and other significant
health conditions like heart issues.
Gum disease, commonly known as periodontal
disease, can be prevented through dental scaling.
Scaling aids in preventing the development of
gingivitis, the milder stage of gum disease, into
periodontitis and other more serious conditions by
eliminating calculus and bacteria from the gum
pockets. Scaling can help maintain the health of the
gums and stop tooth loss by treating gum disease in
its early stages.
This technique is quite common and is performed
on almost everyone. This technique, however, is
frequently performed in conjunction with root
planing. This is sometimes referred to as
"deep cleaning." Teeth scaling and root planing
provide a deeper cleaning than a regular cleaning,
which aids in the treatment of chronic periodontal
disease.
This operation is performed in our dental
clinic by our periodontist in a single session;
however, depending on the severity of your problem,
it may be performed in two or more appointments.
This operation does not normally require the use of
a local anaesthetic; nevertheless, sensitive people
may want to discuss their choices with our dentist.
Our Periodontist will start by scaling your
teeth. This comprises scraping plaque and tartar
from your teeth as well as any pockets that may have
formed between your gums and teeth. The following
stage is usually root planing, which is smoothing
your roots with a scaling tool. This procedure aids
in the reattachment of your gums to your teeth.
How often should scaling be
performed?
The golden guideline is to visit the dentist
every six months. Our dentists at Q Dental will
be able to tell you whether or not you require
scaling. They will also counsel you on proper
home care for healthy teeth. It must be
emphasised again further that scaling teeth does
not weaken them but rather avoids gum diseases,
which cause bleeding gums and, if not treated,
lead to more serious and widespread gum problems
as well as overall health problems.

How is scaling accomplished?
Our periodontist employs a variety of procedures,
including:
1. Scaling by ultrasonic:. Ultrasonic scaling
instruments remove plaque from the teeth by
vibrating the metal tip and spraying it with
water.
2. Guided biofilm therapy, a treatment that removes
biofilm (a film of bacteria on teeth) to prevent
cavities, gum disease, implant infections, and
severe stains, is now available exclusively at Q
Dentali. It is less intrusive and more comfortable
for those who have less discomfort and sensitivity.
The treatment consists of applying a dye to the
teeth to make biofilm visible, removing biofilm with
AirFlow® and PerioFlow® technology, and removing any
remaining calculus with Piezon® technology. This
procedure is appropriate for people of all ages and
dental circumstances, and it can be done on natural
teeth, implants, and dental restorations.This is
first to be introduced by Q Dental by our
periodontists with an affordable prize and also with
the best introductory offers.
