Dr. Sudha Yadav emphasises preventive dental care through professional scaling and cleaning, which removes plaque, tartar, and stains. This simple yet effective procedure helps maintain healthy gums, prevent tooth decay, and promote overall oral hygiene. Regular cleaning is key to long-term dental health and a brighter smile.

What Is It?
Scaling and cleaning is a dental procedure that removes plaque and tartar buildup from teeth and beneath the gumline to prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.

Procedure / How Is It Treated:
Using specialised dental tools, the dentist removes plaque and tartar deposits from the teeth and gums. Polishing is done to smooth tooth surfaces, making them less prone to future buildup.

Why Does It Happen?
Plaque and tartar accumulate due to improper brushing, diet, or oral hygiene habits. If left untreated, they can lead to cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss.
