Scaling
At Smile Mantra Dental Clinic, scaling is an essential part of professional teeth cleaning, designed to remove plaque and tartar (calculus) buildup from the surfaces of your teeth. Using advanced instruments or ultrasonic devices, our expert dental team will thoroughly clean your teeth, helping prevent gum disease and maintain optimal oral health. If plaque and tartar have built up beyond what regular brushing and flossing can handle, scaling may be recommended as part of your treatment plan.
Filling
If you have a cavity, crack, or other damage to your tooth, our filling procedure can restore its function and shape. During this treatment, our dentist will carefully clean out the decayed or damaged area of the tooth and fill it with a durable material such as amalgam, composite resin, or gold. This helps prevent further decay, restores strength to the tooth, and improves your smile’s overall health and appearance.
Key Areas of PeriodonticsStep-by-Step
Gingivitis and Periodontitis Treatment
Gingivitis: This is the mildest form of gum disease, characterized by red, swollen gums that may bleed easily. Gingivitis is often caused by poor oral hygiene, leading to the accumulation of plaque—a sticky film of bacteria—on the teeth.
Periodontitis: If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more severe condition where the gums pull away from the teeth, forming pockets that can become infected. This stage involves the destruction of the bone that supports the teeth and can eventually lead to tooth loss if not properly managed.
