Plaque is a sticky deposit on the teeth in which the bacteria proliferate and this plaque if present around the gums margins lead to gum infections or gingivitis.

If plaque is left for long, calcium deposits harden the plaque to form tartar. Tartar is tenacious and hard to remove with normal brushing and causes the gums to recede. Gum diseases will set in, often along with bad breath.

Scaling is a painless procedure performed with a combination of ultrasonic device to remove plaque and tartar. Scales and stains are removed and teeth is polished with a polishing paste to restore the tooth back to its original texture. Professional cleaning or scaling of teeth should be undergone for every six months.
