Teeth Cleaning/Ultrasonic Scaling
To fight periodontal disease, we need to reduce plaque, tartar and the number of bacteria in the pockets in your mouth. The device we use to do so is an ultrasonic scaler. It consists of a wand with a small scaling tip that produces a soft ultrasonic vibration. The small, quick vibrations in combination with a water flow give us a whole new level of effectiveness in calculus removal.
The benefits of ultrasonic scaling include:
- Increased efficiency of calculus removal
- Less need for hand scaling of stubborn deposits
- More comfortable access to the root surfaces, thanks to the small tip
