Ever wondered what would happen if you continue to drive your car for years without getting it serviced? Initially it might carry on but slowly and slowly the condition will deteriorate and finally the engine would just stop working.
The same applies to your mouth too, in the absence of regular teeth cleaning and polishing. You eat food on a daily basis. Your brushing efficiency can be 99.9% but not 100% every time. That means food deposits keep on accumulating in between teeth on a regular basis. Over a period of time, food deposits harden to form calculus that forms stone like deposits around your teeth. They harbor bacterial colonies that damage both the tooth as well as the tooth supporting structures. If these deposits are removed regularly, they would not cause a permanent damage. Left unremoved, the condition progresses to gingivitis to periodontitis and ultimately to the loss of teeth.
Teeth scaling and polishing is advised once every 6 months. The dentist uses a special gadget called as the dental scaler that removes these deposits by ultrasonic vibrations. The procedure is painless though few might feel some sensitivity in teeth. If the deposits are heavy, a little bleeding also might take place. Even if you brush twice a day and have no issues of bad breath or bleeding gums, a dental scaling is still advised regularly for long term maintenance of gum health.
