Scaling

Removing calculus supports healthier teeth and gums. Scaling is a foundation of gum care and oral disease prevention.

What is it Removing Plaque and Calculus

Scaling is a foundation of gum care that removes plaque and calculus to help prevent oral disease.

Brushing alone cannot remove all hardened deposits. Professional instruments remove calculus, plaque and surface staining from teeth and gum margins to help prevent and manage gum disease.

Oral Health Support - Removing plaque and calculus helps address problems including bad breath.
Clean, Smooth Tooth Surfaces - Removing stains helps keep tooth surfaces clean and smooth.
Gum Disease Prevention - Regular care helps protect the tissues and bone supporting your teeth.
