What Happens If You Don’t Get Dental Scaling in Magok on Time?

Hello,

Magok Dental Clinic, hoping for the beautiful smiles of everyone we serve,

says hello.

You may have heard someone say this at least once,

from somewhere out there.

You have to go to the dentist quickly.

If you delay, it costs more.

Make sure to get regular checkups.

And while some people hear this and

really do exactly that,

there are also people who say,

"Oh, I’ll be fine."

and move on.

Today’s post is fair to say a message for those

who have that kind of thought.

Why regular checkups are important!

Especially what can happen if you don’t get scaling on time!

Let’s now go through this topic one by one.

What is the Scaling?

First, Magok Dental Clinic will explain

what this treatment is.

The surface of our teeth and our gums are tightly connected

and form a structure that holds firmly to each other.

However, when bacteria infect the area for some reason

and inflammation occurs, a gap can form

between them, and this is called a periodontal pocket.

At this point, it may seem like, well, that’s how it is,

but in fact, the real problem starts now.

When we usually eat meals or snacks,

we do not just swallow them whole;

we break them into small pieces before swallowing,

and during this process, some of the food can

remain between the teeth.

These can form a bacterial film called plaque

and harden into tartar,

so where do these residues tend to get stuck often?

That’s right.

The space formed between the teeth,

the periodontal pocket.

"Wouldn’t it be enough to just brush well every day?"

"I brush right after eating, though."

You may think that.

If it were that simple,

that would be great,

but tartar is a type of residue that is difficult

to remove with brushing alone,

so a more detailed method is needed.

That is what we are introducing today:

going through scaling treatment.

Scaling Steps

This solution process is broadly divided into

four steps.

Magok Dental Clinic will explain them in detail.

1️⃣ Use of an ultrasonic scaler

First, the vibrations of ultrasound and the cleaning power of water

are used to clean tartar and plaque from the surface

and inside the periodontal pockets.

In addition to its ability to clean teeth,

this tool also has the feature of reducing thermal stimulation,

so it tends to cause less bleeding and pain.

2️⃣ Manual scaler

However, unfortunately, this does not complete

all of the cleaning.

So the remaining foreign material is carefully scraped away

by hand in detail.

At this stage, it can also help smooth

the outer surface.

3️⃣ Polishing (shine)

Just as when we clean a room, we first use a broom or vacuum

to remove dust from the floor and then wipe it with water,

after the foreign material has been cleaned to some extent,

the process continues with polishing using a special abrasive.

This does not simply make the teeth clean;

it can also help slow the reformation of plaque

and reduce discoloration.

4️⃣ Fluoride application

This is also called fluoride application.

It is an ingredient that can strengthen teeth,

prevent cavities, and help relieve sensitivity,

and if needed, this step is also performed.

You may also come across it in the form of

fluoride toothpaste or mouthwash used at home.

What Can You Expect?

Then, through this process,

what can we expect?

Magok Dental Clinic will summarize it below.

✅ Gums become healthier!

The reason for cleaning foreign substances in the mouth

is ultimately because they are the cause of various inflammations,

and scaling cleans plaque and tartar,

helping prevent the progression of gingivitis and early periodontitis,

reducing gum bleeding and swelling,

and helping restore tissue blood flow and elasticity.

In other words, it is a treatment that can prevent gum disease

and also help maintain tooth support.

✅ Helps prevent cavities and bad breath!

If tartar and plaque disappear,

it means not only inflammation can be prevented,

but also cavities caused by bacteria and

improvement in bad breath are possible.

Because bad breath is caused by volatile sulfur compounds

produced by pathogenic bacteria in the mouth,

reducing this number can also have a meaningful effect

on improving bad breath.

✅ Teeth whitening

After this solution, foreign substances and external stains are removed,

after which the surface can appear brighter and cleaner than before.

In other words, the natural color of your teeth can be restored,

which may also help those who have been self-conscious

about yellow teeth.

✅ Prevention of systemic diseases

Chronic inflammation in the gums

can have a major impact not only on oral health

but also on the health of the entire body.

This is because various harmful substances can travel through

the bloodstream from the damaged area and spread throughout the body.

We will cover this in more detail in the next section.

What if you don’t get it on time..?

What happens if you don’t get scaling on time?

Magok Dental Clinic will discuss this in more depth.

First, in contrast to the expected benefits mentioned earlier,

the progression of periodontitis will remain as it is.

This disease is one in which the surrounding tissue

and bone supporting the teeth are gradually destroyed,

which ultimately causes the teeth to become loose

and can even lead to extraction.

Moreover, if the inflammation that forms in this way becomes chronic

and, as mentioned above, problems spread throughout the body

through blood flow there?

It can cause various cardiovascular diseases,

including myocardial infarction and stroke,

as well as systemic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.

In addition, if you have diabetes,

it can make it worse,

and if you are pregnant, the risk of preterm birth

increases further.

There are even research findings suggesting that

it can be a cause of dementia.

Not only that, but bad breath becomes worse,

which can also cause discomfort in social life and interpersonal relationships.

Pain may also accompany the brushing process

quite often.

If you are already experiencing the kinds of things

mentioned above in your daily life, I recommend that you

quickly get a regular checkup at the point when you feel it is too late.

Regular checkups are usually recommended

every 6 months to 1 year.

With just one small habit like this,

for professional oral hygiene management,

it can help you have a healthier day and improve your impression,

which in a way may be a blessing.
