Dental Scaling
Maintaining a healthy smile goes beyond daily brushing and flossing. Dental scaling is a professional cleaning procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria buildup from your teeth and gums, helping prevent gum disease and tooth decay. Regular dental scaling is essential for maintaining optimal oral health and a confident smile.
Who Needs Dental Scaling?
Dental scaling is recommended for anyone experiencing:
​
-
Gum inflammation or bleeding
-
Persistent bad breath
-
Visible tartar buildup
-
Early signs of gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis)
​​
Even patients with healthy gums benefit from regular scaling to maintain long-term oral health.

How Often Should I Get Dental Scaling?
Most patients benefit from professional cleaning and scaling every 6 months, though those with gum disease or higher risk factors may need more frequent visits every 3-4 months. Dr. Johnson will recommend the best schedule based on your oral health needs.
