Why descaling is essential<\/span><\/h2>\n

Even with good brushing, tartar eventually sets in. It forms when plaque is mineralized, and can no longer be removed with a toothbrush. <\/p>\n

The problem?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tartar promotes :<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Gum inflammation (gingivitis)<\/li>\n
  • Bleeding When Brushing<\/li>\n
  • Gum Recession (Periodontitis)<\/li>\n
  • Bad breath<\/li>\n
  • And in the long term, tooth loss<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Professional scaling<\/strong> removes tartar without damaging your teeth.<\/p>\n

    Hygiene care is provided by Clara Frias, a dental assistant specializing in prophylaxis.<\/p>\n

    His expertise and kindness will ensure you have a serene moment, even if you’re a little anxious at the thought of consulting him.
    How a scaling procedure works:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Quick examination of teeth and gums<\/li>\n
    2. Tartar removal (ultrasound and manual instruments)<\/li>\n
    3. Teeth polished to smooth the surface<\/li>\n
    4. Personalized home hygiene advice<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Each treatment is adapted to your sensitivity and situation<\/strong>: frequency, brushing technique, type of floss… Nothing is left to chance.<\/p>\n

      How often should I have my teeth scaled?<\/h2>\n

      [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

      For most patients, scaling every 6 to 12 months is recommended.<\/p>\n

      But this depends on a number of factors: your diet, hygiene habits, the presence of dentures or braces, and your predisposition to tartar.<\/p>\n

      We tailor our recommendations to your mouth, not to a general rule.<\/strong><\/p>\n
