Scaling is a procedure of removing tartar(calculus), plaque and stains from the teeth surface that get deposited over a period of time.
It is a common myth that scaling removes the layer of the tooth and causes sensitivity, gap etc. Fact is that scaling is a non-invasive procedure which takes about 20-30 minutes and with the help of ultrasonics, removes the plaque on teeth. This makes the teeth stronger and cleaner. Contrary to the belief, scaling is a painless procedure.
The decayed portion of the tooth is removed and is replaced by an appropriate filling material. Keeping in tune with the times, we often recommend Cosmetic (tooth coloured) fillings in comparison with the silver fillings done earlier.
Keeping extraction as a last priority we prefer to treat the teeth conservatively. But sometimes extractions are indicated when a tooth is not in a condition to be saved or in case of a wisdom tooth causing irritability and discomfort.
At Ashtvinayak Orthodontic Dental Implant Clinic extractions are performed in strict sterile conditions to minimise the chances of post surgical infections. Local anesthesia is given to make the procedure painless.
