It prevents tooth decay and ringworm.** Tooth decay and ringworm are the starting point of the basic dental problems.... Scaling helps to prevent this from happening and prevent cavities in the teeth.... These cavities host plaque and damage the tooth enamel, which is the hardest part of the tooth. It helps in keeping the teeth stable and maintaining the overall health of the mouth... #### **3... It removes stains.** Consuming tea, coffee, colored liquids or tobacco causes stains on the surface of the teeth..

How is dental scaling done? particle for direct object ------------------------------------ Dental scaling is one of the most common dental services that is sometimes performed along with root planing.... In this section, we will introduce you to the stages of dental scaling: ### **1- Use of local anesthesia** Scaling and root planing require local anesthesia to control pain... In the first stage of this treatment, the dentist injects anesthesia into the person's mouth and numbs the treated area... After about five minutes, the anesthesia takes effect and the work begins... During this time, you are awake and alert, but you do not feel any pain... ### **2- Scaling** The second stage is criminalization.. At this stage, the dentist removes the plaque and mass from these areas: - Under the gums - Between the gums - At the end of the tooth crown - Around the root of the tooth... Scaling is done manually or with an ultrasonic tool such as the Cavitron dental scaler... Both methods effectively remove plaque and hardened tartar... Laser teeth whitening is also a new method that helps lighten teeth up to 10%. Dentin (dentin) and cementum are the four components of teeth. Periodontitis continues, this disease damages cementum, dentin or both. Root planing is a process that helps to smooth the uneven surfaces and remove bacteria under the gums. During root planing, the dentist deeply cleans the area under the gums to remove plaque and tartar from the roots of the teeth. It involves removing a very small layer of the dentin surface; Dentin is the second layer of the tooth, which is under the tooth enamel... ### **4- Final washing** After performing this process, the dentist washes the desired area to remove the remaining bacteria.... Then he puts a little pressure on the gum to ensure the proper growth of the gum tissue... > How often you need scaling or brushing depends on the health of your teeth and gums. Normally, most healthy patients need scaling every 6 months. The frequency of repeating this treatment depends on how quickly deposits form in your mouth. In some patients, deposits form relatively quickly (every 3 to 4 months). Thin and poorly worn surfaces or ring fluorosis may lead to the aggravation of these defects. -------------------- Although dental scaling has many benefits, it sometimes comes with side effects such as the following: - If you have a weak immune system, there is a possibility of infection after this scaling.... - Dental brosage may make the gums swollen and sensitive...

Various materials are used in the manufacture of this toothpaste that help prevent the accumulation of plaque on the teeth. Sometimes chemical compounds such as pyrophosphates and zinc citrate are also used in the manufacture of some products. I see** These toothpastes have many ingredients, including: - **Anti-scaling agents:** These toothpastes contain anti-scaling agents that are designed to delay the calcification of plaque on the teeth, giving you more time to remove plaque through brushing... - **Fluoride:** This natural mineral plays an important role in strengthening tooth enamel and protecting teeth from decay caused by plaque buildup...

Do not chew until the numbness is completely gone.... - It is recommended not to eat anything for at least two hours after scaling.... Also, in the first 48 to 72 hours after scaling....

Although both dental procedures aim to increase self-confidence and improve oral health and hygiene, they are completely different.. The main difference between the two procedures is that brushing is necessary to clean plaque and tartar and prevent tooth decay.. such as stomach infections.. For this reason, you should brush your teeth regularly, it guarantees your teeth.. In the meantime, **bleaching** is more of a cosmetic aspect, because its purpose is to remove stains and yellowness from your teeth and create a bright smile for you... and this situation has affected their self-confidence, it is necessary.... Bleaching itself does not have many benefits for oral and dental health, but it helps to improve the appearance of your teeth and the way you feel about your smile... Bleeding gums after scaling ---------------------------- Bleeding gums after scaling can be expected.... If plaque and tartar have accumulated along the gum lines and you don't floss daily, you are more likely to bleed after brushing.... What causes this to happen?... When the scaler breaks down the bacteria that has accumulated on the underside of the gum, it begins to stain the edges of the gums.. For **24 to 48 hours of bleeding after scaling**... If the bleeding continues, be sure to contact your dentist because there is a possibility of bleeding and gum infection... Some of the reasons for bleeding gums after scaling are: ### 1- After massaging the bacteria and the remaining bacteria, massify Sometimes, due to the depth of the gum pocket or the anatomy of a person's teeth, plaque and bacteria are not completely removed from the teeth and gums.. Sometimes a very strong chemical bond is formed between the plaque and the root surface of the tooth. Generally, the more experienced the dentist is, the better the results of scaling will be, and you will have fewer complications... So it is better to do research before choosing a dentist and find the best dentist to perform scaling... If you neglect oral hygiene after scaling, you allow plaque to build up again... this situation can cause bleeding gums and deepening of periodontal pockets.. ### 4- Medical history, genetics and stress... Bleeding disorders and diseases that affect the immune system may expose the patient to bleeding gums before or after scaling... Genetics can also make a person prone to gum disease or a long-term or weak immune system... It becomes more difficult for the body to fight periodontal diseases that may lead to bleeding gums... Did you measure the composite?** Bleaching methods and scaling methods do not work on porcelain or most bonding materials.. So once a crown, laminate, composite, or crown is placed in the mouth, it is not possible to remove the scale.. In addition, it is not possible to remove dentures and implants.. In dental laminates, porcelain veneers are usually very stain resistant and regardless of what foods and drinks you are exposed to, Paint and composite paints they don't have anymore.. not done, depending on the porosity of the material, the teeth may become stained and yellow.... Plastic prostheses also darken over time, but the dentist can return them to their original color with a simple polish.... ### **Can orthodontic teeth be scaled?** Scaling of orthodontic teeth is not only possible, but very necessary... When using orthodontic braces, plaque, tartar, and food residues easily accumulate around the brackets, and this increases the possibility of tooth decay and gum disease.. Therefore, you should pay more attention to your oral and dental health. ------------------------------------ Dental scaling and root planing are the most common methods of treating chronic periodontal disease.
