what is dental scaling and its benefits?


Question:


Answers:
Scaling is the procedure in which a dentist or dental hygienist will use tools to remove the hard deposits ( calculus) on your teeth, both above and below the gumline. This is necessary because calculus breeds bacteria, which attributes to periodontitis. If this condition advances it actually reduces the amount of bone in your upper and lower jaw. This will cause your teeth to become loose, and you may lose them. If a dentist recommends a dental scaling, it is best to have it done.
