Teeth cleaning, or scaling, is a preventive dental procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and stains from the tooth surface. It helps in maintaining oral health by preventing gum disease, cavities, and bad breath. Scaling is typically done during routine dental check-ups and ensures your gums and teeth remain healthy. The dentist uses specialized tools to clean both above and below the gum line. Regular cleanings, combined with proper oral hygiene, keep your smile bright and healthy.
