Scaling is a term used to describe cleaning of the teeth by our highly specialized ultra-sonic scalers.
Scaling removes extrinsic stains and calculus from the teeth.
Extrinsic stains are caused by smoking, consumption of tea/ coffee or also caused by deposition of stains by chromogenic bacteria.
Calculus is calcified or hard deposits present above or below the level of gingiva or gums. Presence of calculus detrimental for the health of the gums.
