Dream Dentistry | Ultrasonic Scaling

Gum disease can be a serious issue, and the earliest stages are the most crucial, yet most commonly overlooked. Ultrasonic scalers are used to remove tartar and plaque from the surface of the teeth, below the gum line, and between the teeth. Continue reading to learn more about the benefits of ultrasonic scalers.

What Is An Ultrasonic Scaler?
Scaling is the process of removing harmful plaque or tartar from the surface of the teeth. Traditionally, scaling was done manually. While this method is typically effective, it can potentially cause trauma to the gum tissue and can cause the patient to experience discomfort or pain.
Thankfully, ultrasonic scalers use high vibrational energy that vibrates against your teeth, removing tartar and plaque buildup quickly and efficiently. Ultrasonic scalers are also equipped with a built-in sprayer that allows the dentist or hygienist to keep the area clean of debris with a constant stream of water.
Benefits of Ultrasonic Scaling
Below are some notable benefits of ultrasonic scaling:
● Ultrasonic scalers allow your dentist or hygienist to ensure a more complete and effective treatment for gum disease● Much less painful than the more traditional method of manually scaling● There will be less trauma to already tender gums● They remove tartar more effectively than manual scalers● The spray tip allows the dentist or hygienist to clean debris from your teeth as they work● Ultrasonic scalers can help remove surface stains, making the teeth whiter and brighter after treatment● Ultimately, one of the most notable benefits of ultrasonic scalers is that they make it possible to quickly and most efficiently clean the teeth both above and below the gum line without harming the patient.
