🦷 What Are Dental Calculus (Tartar) and Why Is Scaling Important?

Did you know that even if you brush daily, hard deposits called dental calculus (tartar) can still build up on your teeth? 🔹 What is Calculus? Calculus is hardened plaque that forms when plaque is not completely removed from the teeth. It commonly accumulates near the gumline and between teeth. 🔹 Why is it a Problem? • Causes bad breath • Leads to swollen and bleeding gums • Increases the risk of gum disease (periodontitis) • Can contribute to tooth mobility and tooth loss if left untreated 🔹 What is Scaling? Scaling is a professional dental cleaning procedure that removes calculus and plaque deposits from the teeth and below the gumline. It helps keep your gums healthy and your smile fresh. ✅ Prevents gum disease ✅ Reduces bad breath ✅ Helps maintain healthy teeth and gums ✅ Improves overall oral hygiene Remember: Scaling does not damage your teeth. It removes harmful deposits that cannot be removed by brushing alone. 📍 Visit OraCare Dental Clinic for a professional dental check-up and scaling appointment. #OraCareDentalClinic #DentalScaling #OralHealth #HealthyGums #DentalCare #SmileConfidently #KolkataDentist #PreventiveDentistry 🦷✨
