Scaling Health Insurance, Make Sure to Get It Regularly!

One of the most basic ways to protect your dental health

is regular scaling.

No matter how carefully you brush every day,

plaque that you cannot see

naturally builds up little by little

on the tooth surface and between the gums.

If plaque is left as it is,

it gradually hardens and turns into calculus,

and if it is left untreated,

it can cause various oral problems.

✔ What happens if calculus is left untreated?

If calculus is not removed

and is left untreated for a long period,

the following symptoms may occur.

🦷 Bleeding gums

Bleeding often occurs when brushing your teeth.

🦷 Pain and discomfort

Your gums may feel throbbing or swollen.

🦷 Bad breath

Bad breath may occur due to bacterial growth.

🦷 Loose teeth

If severe periodontal disease progresses, teeth may become loose,

and in the worst case, extraction may be necessary.

-> Therefore, to prevent periodontal disease,

regular scaling is essential.

Scaling is a treatment that removes firmly attached calculus from teeth

using ultrasonic vibrations.

Sometimes temporary sensitivity or

bleeding may occur,

but in most cases it naturally recovers over time,

so there is no need to worry too much.

Through scaling,

you can prevent early periodontal disease

and protect your oral health over the long term,

so we recommend getting it regularly.

However, some people hesitate to receive treatment

due to the cost burden. (ㅠㅠ)

✔ Scaling health insurance

Make sure to get your once-a-year scaling!

If you are an adult aged 19 or older,

you can receive insurance-covered scaling once a year.

The applicable period is set from January 1

to December 31 each year.

As a benefit provided once a year,

if you miss the timing, the benefit for that year

will expire without being carried over or accumulated.

Therefore, when planning scaling,

it is important to check the yearly schedule in advance

and receive treatment at the appropriate time.

In addition, if your oral condition is not good or

if you need to manage your teeth and gum health due to smoking,

frequent plaque buildup, or similar reasons,

in addition to insurance-covered scaling,

you may choose additional non-covered scaling,

and depending on your oral condition,

some people receive the procedure at six-month intervals.

I’ve introduced information about scaling like this.

Along with regular checkups and scaling,

please maintain healthy teeth through thorough brushing care.

Once healthy teeth are lost,

they are difficult to restore.

Don’t forget to get your once-a-year scaling! 🤗
