Dental plaque requires treatment. Only by promptly addressing plaque can you prevent it from damaging teeth and causing other oral diseases. Plaque must be resolved before it evolves into various conditions. So how is plaque treated? Many people know little about the treatment techniques.
Teeth cleaning is a fundamental dental care practice. Ultrasonic scaling is now widely used, costing only a few hundred yuan. You may also opt for sandblasting cleaning, tooth polishing, and comprehensive dental examinations, with total costs around several hundred yuan—a relatively economical choice.
Scaling uses ultrasonic cleaners to remove tartar and stains like tobacco residue or tea deposits from tooth surfaces. These substances not only affect aesthetics but also harbor bacteria that can cause gum inflammation, bleeding, recession, widened gaps, loosening, or tooth shifting—all signs of periodontal disease.
Teeth cleaning thoroughly cleans teeth by removing tartar and stains from tooth surfaces.Typically, after scaling, the tooth surfaces are polished, the gums are rinsed, and medicated solutions are applied to reduce inflammation. This is a crucial treatment and preventive measure for periodontal disease. If your teeth have tartar buildup, long-term staining from coffee or tea, or if your gums are inflamed, it's best to visit a dental clinic for scaling and medicated treatment. It's generally recommended to have your teeth professionally cleaned every six months to a year.
