At Parkway Family Dental, we prioritize your comfort and oral health during every visit. For a faster, more effective cleaning experience, we use ultrasonic scaling.
What Is Ultrasonic Scaling?
Ultrasonic scaling is an advanced dental cleaning technique that removes plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) from your teeth more comfortably and efficiently than traditional methods. Plaque can build up from food and drink, and if not removed within 24 hours, it hardens into tartar, which only a dental professional can eliminate.
Using ultrasonic scalers, our team can effectively:
- Remove plaque and tartar buildup.
- Prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
- Ensure a thorough and comfortable cleaning experience.
The ultrasonic scaler uses gentle vibrations and a stream of water to break down and wash away plaque and tartar. Unlike traditional tools, this technology makes the process:
- Faster and more efficient.
- Comfortable, with minimal sensation—just mild vibrations.
- Non-invasive, requiring no numbing anesthetics.
Removing plaque and tartar is crucial for maintaining a healthy smile. By incorporating ultrasonic scaling into your routine cleanings and periodontal maintenance, we help protect your teeth and gums from harmful conditions like:
- Tooth decay
- Gum disease
