Dental Scaling<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Tartar, also known as \u201cdental calculus\u201d, is a hardened layer that forms on the teeth due to the prolonged accumulation of bacterial plaque.<\/span> It usually builds up along the gum line and on the surface of the teeth. <\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Due to its yellowish or brownish color, tartar can affect the appearance of the smile and give the impression of poor oral hygiene.<\/span> However, its development does not depend solely on oral hygiene habits\u2014factors such as age, diet, and individual characteristics can also influence its formation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Why does tartar form ?<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Tartar develops when bacterial plaque is not effectively removed through brushing and flossing. Over time, this plaque hardens and adheres to the tooth surface, requiring professional removal by a dentist. Beyond its aesthetic impact, tartar is also an important oral health concern.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

What is
dental scaling ?<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Dental scaling, or professional dental cleaning, is a procedure performed by a dentist to remove tartar and bacterial plaque.<\/span> An ultrasonic scaler is often used for this purpose. Through vibrations, it breaks up and removes tartar from the surface of the teeth. <\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

After this step, dental polishing<\/span> is usually performed to remove stains and smooth the surface of the teeth, helping to reduce future plaque buildup.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
