Gum Treatments

Dental health is an important part of your general health. Whatever your age, you can and should have healthy teeth. Correct dental care can help you keep your teeth healthy for a lifetime. Scaling is one such procedure that keeps your gums healthy and firm.

It is a procedure used to remove infected deposits like plaque, calculus and stains from the tooth surfaces. Such deposits, if not removed by scaling, cause infection and loosening of the gums, ultimately leading to pyorrhoea and tooth loss. Scaling is a safe and routine procedure and does not damage the tooth surface in any way. It must be done by a dental professional.

It is seen that almost all individual lack straight teeth. Thus even after proper brushing techniques some amount of food deposition remains. This is major reason for plaque and calculus formation which leads to:

• Bad breath
• Bleeding and painful gums
• Infection
