Ultrasonic Scaling
Ultrasonic ScalingTreatment
Ultrasonic scaling, referred to as ultrasonic cleaning or ultrasonic scaling and root planing, is a dental technique to eliminate plaque, tartar, and stains on teeth and below the gumline. This procedure, commonly part of dental cleanings, is done by dental professionals using specialized tools.
- Assessment: Before beginning ultrasonic scaling, the dental professional will assess the patient’s oral health, including examining the teeth and gums and possibly taking X-rays to evaluate the extent of tartar buildup and identify any underlying dental issues.
- Preparation: The patient may receive local anesthesia if they have sensitive teeth or if deep cleaning below the gumline (root planing) is necessary. Anesthesia may not be required for routine scaling in patients without significant discomfort.
- Scaling: The dental professional uses an ultrasonic scaler, which is a handheld device that emits high-frequency vibrations and a fine spray of water. The scaler tip vibrates at ultrasonic frequencies, breaking up and dislodging plaque, tartar, and stains from the tooth surfaces and beneath the gumline. The water flow helps to cool the instrument and flush away debris.
- Root Planing (if needed): If there is significant tartar buildup below the gumline or signs of periodontal disease, root planing may be performed. This involves smoothing the tooth roots to remove bacteria and promote gum tissue healing. The ultrasonic scaler may be used for this purpose, along with manual instruments called curettes.
- Rinsing and Inspection: After scaling and root planing, the dental professional rinses the mouth to remove any remaining debris and assesses the cleanliness of the teeth and gums. They may use dental instruments or dental floss to check for any rough areas or remaining plaque or tartar.
- Polishing (optional): In some cases, the teeth may be polished using a polishing paste and a rotating rubber cup or brush to remove surface stains and smooth the tooth surfaces.
- Post-Procedure Care: The dental professional may provide instructions on post-procedure care, including proper oral hygiene practices such as brushing, flossing, and using antimicrobial mouthwash. They may also recommend follow-up appointments for ongoing maintenance and monitoring of oral health.
