Common Questions
Is scaling painful?
Mild sensitivity is normal, especially if it's your first time or it's been a while since your last clean. We use gentle techniques and can apply numbing gel if needed.
How often should I get scaling done?
Every 6 months is ideal for most patients. Those with gum disease may need more frequent visits.
What's the difference between scaling and deep scaling?
Regular scaling cleans above and around the gumline. Deep scaling (root planing) treats tartar and infection below the gumline for patients with early gum disease, usually under local anaesthetic, one section of the mouth at a time.
Will my gums bleed after scaling?
Some bleeding is normal if your gums are inflamed, and it should settle within a day or two as your gums heal.
