SCALING
When dental plaque is not removed by brushing, it gradually mineralizes (hardens) and turns into calculus. Calculus is a reservoir of bacteria.
You should then perform a scaling.
Using an ultrasonic instrument, the dentist will remove the deposits of calculus so that your teeth regain their normal esthetic appearance.
This technique is painless on a healthy gum, but it can become painful in the event of significant gingival inflammation. To avoid this, at least one scaling must be done per year, or even every 6 months for patients requiring closer monitoring at the periodontal level.
