Dental Scaling (Tartar Cleaning)
What is Dental Scaling (Tartar Cleaning)? Dental scaling, also known as tartar cleaning or prophylaxis, is the process of removing tartar that is the main cause of gum disease, gum bleeding, and bad breath. During standard dental scaling, the dentist cleans the plaque and tartar accumulated on the surface of the teeth. Afterward, a special polish is applied to remove stains and polish the teeth. The dentist may also provide recommendations on brushing techniques, flossing, and oral hygiene education.
Is Dental Scaling Painful? Dental scaling is not a painful procedure at all. It can be easily performed even on patients with dental anxiety and is well tolerated by the patient. In our clinic, this procedure is completed quickly.
How to Prevent Tartar Formation? Once tartar forms, it can only be removed by dentists. You can prevent or delay tartar formation by brushing your teeth correctly twice a day and using dental floss regularly.
Is There Bleeding in the Gums? In patients with gum swelling and inflammation, there may be some bleeding, but it is not severe. After the cleaning procedure, the bleeding will stop. Within a week after dental scaling, the gums will return to a pink and healthy state.
How Long Does Dental Scaling Take? Dental scaling takes approximately 30 minutes. In patients with intense tartar buildup, a second session may be required.
How Often Should Dental Scaling Be Done? Tartar is the main cause of gum diseases and can lead to gum bleeding, bad breath, tooth discoloration, and brown stains. Therefore, it is recommended to have dental scaling every 6 months as part of routine dental check-ups.
Will Bad Breath and Gum Bleeding Stop? If you do not have any systemic disease, dental scaling will stop gum-related bleeding and bad breath.
Is There Sensitivity After Dental Scaling? In patients with intense tartar buildup and gum recession, mild sensitivity may be experienced on the first day after dental scaling. This sensitivity will pass in a short time.
Can Dental Scaling Be Done During Pregnancy? During pregnancy, due to hormones, the gums are more swollen and prone to bleeding. The bleeding may be more than usual, but it is not harmful. It is advisable to have dental scaling done between 3 to 6 months of pregnancy.
Will Teeth Become Whiter After Dental Scaling? Stains caused by smoking, tea, and coffee will disappear after dental scaling and polishing, giving a fresher appearance. However, if you desire a whiter tone, teeth whitening treatment is recommended. With teeth whitening, it is possible to achieve teeth up to 4-5 shades whiter.
