The Benefits of Teeth Scaling and Polishing for a Brighter Smile
Our mouth with the teeth works as a grinding machine. We bite the food with our front teeth, the premolars grind it further into small pieces and the molars crush the food into very fine pieces which can easily be swallowed. We use this grinding machine daily many times a day.
Now we all are aware that every machine needs some form of servicing to keep it running in perfect condition. Similarly, our mouth and teeth also need a regular servicing. Teeth scaling and polishing is the name given to routine servicing of the mouth. It is ideally recommended top undergo a regular scaling and polishing every 6 months. This procedure however does not underestimate the importance of routine home care of teeth.
During food chewing and grinding, some minor food particles do accumulate in and around the teeth on a daily basis. Although we tend to remove a large percentage of them through brushing but a fraction of it remain stuck to teeth. These small accumulations over a period of time can increase in quantity, enough to cause damage to teeth and gums. In teeth scaling, these accumulated food deposits are removed.
Dental scaling is performed with a special machine called the dental scaler which simply dislodges the deposits through high frequency vibrations. The procedure is painless though some may feel tooth sensitivity. There is a big misconception that this procedure causes damage to teeth which is absolutely false. After the scaling, teeth are then polished to make shine and lustrous.
