Oral hygiene includes removal of calculus or tartar that may develop even after
careful brushing and flossing. If the deposits are not removed they may progress
into periodontal disease leading to gradual damage of the tooth. Hence these bacteria
need to be nipped at the budding stage by scaling.
- Plaque formation is a continuous process, if left unclean it forms tartar.
- Ideally, one is advised to go for a dental check up every 6 months.
- Consult your dentist whether you need scaling treatment.
- Remember scaling does not weaken teeth, but prevents gum diseases.
