Common Questions

Does scaling weaken teeth?

No. Professional scaling removes harmful tartar and protects gums and bone — it does not scrape away healthy enamel.

How often should I get scaling done?

Every 6 months for most people; more often if you have gum disease or heavy tartar buildup.

Is teeth cleaning painful?

It is generally comfortable. Mild sensitivity may occur if gums are inflamed — we work gently and can use numbing gel if needed.
