Removal of dental tartar (tooth scaling)

Tartar builds up even with careful brushing and is the main cause of gingivitis. Regular teeth scaling at Mabel Clinic removes deposits gently and effectively before they can harm your gums and periodontium.

Removal of tartar (scaling) at Mabel Clinic

Why removing tartar is so important

Dental calculus is mineralised plaque that cannot be removed with a toothbrush. It accumulates along the gum line and in the interdental spaces, where it constantly irritates tissues and sustains inflammation. If left unremoved, it leads to bleeding gums, bad breath, and over time, to periodontitis and loose teeth. Regular scaling effectively interrupts this process.

How dental scaling is performed at Mabel Clinic

The treatment is performed using an ultrasonic scaler, which uses fine vibrations to remove plaque from the surface of the teeth without damaging the enamel. We also reach subgingival deposits, which are the most dangerous for the periodontium. Scaling is usually combined with sandblasting and teeth polishing to make their surface perfectly smooth. For sensitive patients, the procedure can be performed under local anaesthetic.

Treatment effects and post-scaling recommendations

After the treatment, the teeth are smooth, clean and free of bacterial deposits, and the gums gradually regenerate and stop bleeding. For the first 24 hours, there may be slight sensitivity to cold and heat, which quickly passes. To ensure the effect lasts as long as possible, we recommend repeating the hygiene treatment every six months and careful daily hygiene with flossing.
