Gum care
Scaling
Suitability and methods depend on your condition. This is general medical information, not a diagnosis. Confirm actual clinic services and your plan during consultation. This translation needs review by a clinician and a native-language reviewer.
Understanding the treatment
Scaling removes calculus and plaque from tooth surfaces and around the gums.
What do we examine?
We assess calculus deposits, bleeding, inflammation, pockets and sensitivity.
Examination and treatment steps
- Examine teeth and gums
- Remove calculus and plaque
- Check gums
- Assess need for further care
- Hygiene care
Steps may change or additional care may be needed after examination.
Is scaling enough?
Deep pockets or advanced periodontal disease may require further treatment such as root surface instrumentation.
Care intervals
Intervals depend on calculus formation, gum health and oral hygiene.
Care after treatment
Discuss sensitivity and include interdental cleaning in daily care.
Points to consider
Temporary sensitivity or discomfort can occur. Continuing bleeding or pain needs reassessment.
