Ultrasonic Scaler
Ultrasonic Scaling is a mature and time-tested technology. In experienced
hands, these high-tech instruments can disrupt and ush away bacteria
along with hard deposits that your toothbrush can't touch and they can
even help moderately stained teeth look brighter.
They are the tools of choice for many dentists and dental hygienists. Why?
Because they're so good at removing the buildup of stains, dental plaque
and calculus (also called tartar) from the crown (above the gum) and root
(below the gum) surfaces of the teeth. Since the removal of plaque and
calculus helps eliminate harmful bacteria beneath the gum line, cleaning
with an ultrasonic scaler (sometimes called “root debridement”) is a primary
means for preventing gum disease.
