Teeth Scaling
Teeth Scaling in Kolkata
Teeth scaling is a professional deep-cleaning dental procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from above and below the gumline. It’s often paired with a specialised procedure called root planing. For severe gum disease, both these procedures may be performed to restore the health of the gums.
Teeth Scaling
Teeth scaling helps manage gum disease, improve oral hygiene, and prevent further damage to teeth and gums.
- Scaling: Removes plaque and tartar from tooth surfaces and below the gumline.
- Root Planing: Smoothes tooth roots for better gum reattachment.
- Curettage (occasionally used): A specialised tool to scrape and clean the root surfaces of teeth and gums.

Prophylaxis Cleaning

Periodontal Maintenance
