Ultrasonic scaling is a modern dental cleaning technique that uses
high-frequency sound waves to remove plaque, tartar (calculus), and stains
from the teeth.
It is faster, more efficient, and often more comfortable than traditional
hand scaling.
The device used is called an ultrasonic scaler. It vibrates at a very high
speed and sprays a fine mist of water to wash away debris as it cleans.
Fast and Effective: Cleans more area in
less
time.
Less Invasive: Minimal discomfort compared
to
manual scraping.
Better for Gum Health: Reaches deeper
below
the gumline to remove harmful
bacteria.
Polishes Teeth: Leaves teeth smoother and
whiter.
Reduces Infection Risk: Water flow flushes
away bacteria, reducing chances of
reinfection.
