What actually happens during a scaling? Lily, our LS ToothBuddy, explains how the dentist removes hardened tartar a brush can't, why it protects your gums, and how often to do it — in under a minute.
Here's What's Going On
Even with great brushing, some plaque hardens into tartar that a brush can't remove.
Scaling is how the dentist gently removes that hardened tartar from the teeth.
A special tool with water buzzes the tartar away, then the teeth are polished smooth.
This helps prevent gum disease and keeps bad breath away.
Most people benefit from a scaling about every six months.
