This procedure involves the removal of tartar—hardened plaque that accumulates along the gumline—using ultrasonic instruments when daily brushing is insufficient.
Why Is It So Important?
If left untreated, tartar can lead to bleeding gums, bad breath, receding gums, and ultimately the loss of healthy teeth due to loosening.
Does It Harm the Teeth?
No, on the contrary, it is the most basic form of care for maintaining dental and gum health. During the procedure, material is removed not from the enamel itself, but only from the deposits on its surface.
