Happens If You Don't Do It?
“Dental scaling… is it necessary if I don't have a toothache?”
Many people think that if there is no pain = no need to do it. But in reality, “tartar” (calculus) is something that accumulates without us realizing it.
Tartar is formed by bacteria + saliva, accumulating along the gum line, and it cannot be brushed away.
If left for too long, it can cause:
- Gingivitis (gum inflammation)
- Bad breath
- Risk of periodontitis (gum disease)
- Loose teeth in the long run
It is recommended to have it done every 6 months to keep your teeth and gums strong in the long run.
