What is Tartar?
Calculus is a yellow or brown hard limestone that forms when plaque accumulated in the mouth becomes mineralized and hardens over time. Tartar usually accumulates near the gums and at the back of the teeth. This buildup can increase rapidly in cases where tooth brushing and flossing are inadequate. In addition to aesthetic concerns, calculus can also cause health problems such as gum disease.

What is Tartar Removal?
Scaling is the removal of these hard plaques that have accumulated on the teeth using professional devices. Tartar can only be removed by dental cleaning, it is not possible to remove it with home dental care methods. Dentists use special tools and ultrasonic devices to remove tartar and smooth the tooth surface. Scaling also helps to prevent gum diseases by protecting the health of the teeth.

Who Should Scaling Cleaning Be Applied to?
Scaling is a recommended procedure for everyone, but it is especially important for people who

• People with bleeding gums: Bleeding gums can be a symptom of tartar build-up. Scaling helps to prevent bleeding.
  
  
• People with Bad Breath Complaints: Tartar can cause bad breath. Scaling can eliminate this condition.
  
  
• People at Risk of Gum Diseases: Tartar can lead to gingivitis. Regular removal of tartar therefore helps to prevent gum disease.
  
  
• Tobacco Product Users: Smoking leads to rapid accumulation of tartar. Regular scaling is recommended for smokers.
  
  

How to Remove Tartar?
At Safir Dental Polyclinic, state-of-the-art devices are used for scaling. The cleaning process is done in the following steps:

1. Initial Examination: The dentist will make an assessment of the condition of your teeth and the health of your gums.
   
   
2. Ultrasonic Cleaning: Tartar is removed with special ultrasonic devices. These devices gently break down the calculus and smooth the tooth surface.
   
   
3. Manual Cleaning: In the areas cleaned with the ultrasonic device, your dentist uses manual instruments to add the finishing touches and remove any debris.
   
   
4. Tooth Surface Polishing: After the cleaning, the teeth are smoothed, thus preventing plaque build-up again and resulting in a brighter smile.
