Dental Scaling: Effective Non-Surgical Treatment for Gum Disease
Restoring Periodontal Health and Preventing Tooth Loss at Ardent Dental Lynn Valley
Dental scaling at Ardent Dental Lynn Valley is a highly effective, non-surgical method for treating gum disease, also known as periodontitis. This relatively painless procedure involves the use of a scaling instrument (a scaler) to remove plaque, calculus, and stains from the crown and root surfaces of teeth, helping patients achieve and maintain periodontal health.
Why Dental Scaling is Important
If left untreated, inflammation caused by bacteria in plaque and tartar build-up can lead to gingivitis and eventually progress to periodontal disease. Advanced periodontal disease can cause the resorption of bone around the tooth, resulting in the loss of support and loosening of teeth.
Maintaining Oral Health Post-Procedure
To ensure the long-term health of your teeth and gums after scaling, it is essential to follow an optimal oral hygiene routine. For more information on how to properly care for your teeth and gums, please contact our dentist or hygienist at our Lynn Valley office in North Vancouver.
