Paediatric Dentist Consultation Poland

Scaling consists in removing dental plaque and supra- and subgingival tartar that may cause various disease such as gingivitis and gingivorrhoea, parodontosis, caries, looseness or even loss of teeth. It is done using ultrasonic scalers. This prophylactic procedure, harmless for enamel and gums, is repeated every 6-24 months depending on the level of oral hygiene and on the composition of saliva (the more mineral compounds in saliva, the greater tartar deposits). It is often combined with sand-blasting and completed with polishing all tooth surfaces with a special polish and rinsing the mouth with an antibacterial liquid. Tartar is a gummy dental deposit that grows from the moment of teething. It sticks not only to tooth surfaces but also to the surfaces of fillings and various orthodontic and prosthetic devices (crowns, bridges, and removable prostheses).
