Even the best brushers can miss some spots. Scaling and root planing is a way to remove tough buildup and deep stains that brushing at home can't fix.

What does Scaling and Root Planing mean?
Teeth scaling involves the removal of plaque and calcified deposits that accumulate in the form of tartar deposits on your teeth, even in the spaces beneath your gums. We at AVMSmiles employ soft ultrasonic dental tools to safely loosen these accumulations and remove any discoloration on your teeth.
Are you a right candidate for Teeth Scaling?
Persistent bad breath
If you suffer from persistent problems of taste or smell emanating from your mouth and cannot be treated by mouthwashes, the problem might be due to the bacteria trapped within your tartar pockets.
Gum bleeding and swelling
Does your gums bleed when brushing or flossing teeth? Then the problem most probably is caused by bacteria, because this condition is gingivitis.
Tartar (calculus)
Yellow or brown deposits seen along your gum lines or behind your lower front teeth? These are the hard tartar deposits in need of professional cleaning.
Stubborn stains
Tea, coffee, or cigarette stains can accumulate in the micro-crevices of your teeth.

Advantages of Teeth Scaling
Prevents gum diseases
As tartar builds up it irritates the gums and causes them to recede. Teeth scaling removes the tartar and gives your gums time to recover.
Removes foul mouth odour
An offensive smell in one's mouth often comes about due to debris which gets stuck beneath the gums, and also bacteria which thrive there. Scaling will help address the root cause of the bad odor, since it will remove the bacteria and debris.
Helps whiten your teeth
Although scaling is not a whitening treatment, it reduces dark staining from tea, coffee and food. With polishing, you get your pearly whites back.

How does Tooth Scaling occur?
How does teeth scaling occur?
Examining your teeth and gums
Usually checks for heavy buildup of tartar, any signs of gum inflammation and ensure that your mouth is all set for the cleaning process.
Root planing
With the tartar deposits removed, the dentist will then move on to use smaller tools in the examination of hard-to-reach areas such as the small gaps between the teeth and just below the gum line.
Scaling
This process involves the use of a vibrating scaler called an ultrasonic scaler that gently vibrates with a fine spray of water to remove the stubborn tartar deposits. It works on your teeth and rinses out the buildup without causing any pain.
Polishing
Polishing is done with a rotating cup and abrasive toothpaste which has a refreshing mint flavor,l makes it more difficult for any new plaque to stick to your teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely not. It is one of the most prevalent misconceptions regarding scaling. The tips of our ultrasonic scaler are not sharp in any way and can only vibrate against brittle tartar so that it cracks and comes off easily. Your teeth's enamel is very hard and won't be damaged by the procedure.
For most patients, the procedure is not going to cause pain; you may experience only unusual sensations like vibration or tickling. Nevertheless, if your gums are too puffy (swollen), or there are exposed tooth roots that are sensitive, you might experience sensitivity.
The duration of the appointment is 30 to 45 minutes depending on the amount of plaque on your teeth and the extent of cleaning needed.
In order to avoid problems associated with your teeth and gums, you should undergo teeth cleaning every half year. In case you develop tartar rather quickly it is advised to visit every three or four months.
Scaling is responsible for getting rid of external stains and revealing the actual color of your teeth. Should you wish to improve the color of your teeth more drastically, then you should consider professional teeth whitening after your scaling session.
It is quite common. With heavy tartar buildup, your mouth appears to have an extra layer of filling the spaces between the teeth. This makes it seem like your gum has not inflamed and moved down, while actually it has. Once you get rid of that harmful bacteria, you can notice how your mouth changes.
The entire process will depend on the level of dental cleaning you need done. If you require deep cleaning as opposed to basic scaling, the procedure will be more expensive. Typically, the cost of teeth scaling will range from ₹1,500 to ₹3,500.
There will be some tenderness in your gums and sensitivity in your teeth to hot or cold for a couple of hours. You'd better avoid having very hot, extremely cold foods, and spicy/acidic foods within the first 24 hours after the treatment. Having regular, plain food is your best option.
