FAQs

Common Questions About Scaling

Is teeth scaling painful?

Modern ultrasonic scaling is generally painless. You may feel mild vibrations and some sensitivity, but most patients find it comfortable. We can use numbing gel if needed.

How often should I get scaling done?

We recommend professional cleaning every 6 months for most patients. Those with gum disease may need more frequent cleanings (every 3-4 months).

Does scaling weaken teeth?

No, scaling does not weaken teeth. It only removes harmful deposits from the tooth surface. The feeling of "loose" teeth after scaling is temporary and occurs because the tartar is removed.

How long does the procedure take?

A typical scaling and polishing session takes about 30-45 minutes. If there's heavy tartar buildup, it may take longer or require multiple visits.
