You Can Remove Black and Yellow Calculus Caused by Staining with Scaling at a Sillim Dental Clinic in Just 15 Minutes.

Treatment period: 2026.01.07

Hello,

I’m Director Park Jeong-gi from Seoul Remember, Sillim Dental Clinic.

Scaling (Tooth Scaling)

You’ve probably heard of it at least once, right?

It may be the most basic and easiest way to protect your precious teeth while being something we can do without much burden,

scaling refers to removing hardened calculus and plaque that stick to the teeth using a scaler with ultrasonic vibrations.

It is performed by dental hygienists who have the proper qualifications and licenses,

and because it only takes about 15 to 20 minutes,

at Seoul Remember in Sillim, there seem to always be many patients who regularly come in for scaling. In particular, because the government provides insurance coverage once a year to improve the public’s oral health,

it can be received for around 17,800 won,

and if you are eligible for the national oral examination that year,

an additional discount applies,

bringing it to around 15,400 won.

(Costs may vary depending on whether it is an initial or follow-up visit and whether it is a weekday, evening, or public holiday.)

It costs less than a chicken,

but because it has a positive effect on oral health and tooth longevity,

we can’t help but keep emphasizing it at Sillim Dental Clinic.

The case I’m showing you today came in because of calculus and black staining that had built up on the upper and lower front teeth.

As you can see, there is something black attached to the lingual surfaces of the anterior teeth in the upper and lower jaws.

This is plaque that has accumulated on the tooth surface, with staining substances attached to that plaque,

and if these are not brushed away for more than 3 days and harden,

that becomes calculus.

As the word calculus suggests,

it cannot be removed with brushing alone,

and it continues to build up layer by layer on top of itself.

In severe cases, it can press on the gums

and cause inflammation or even recession.

Fortunately, this case was not yet severe enough to affect the gingiva,

but if black stains like these are stuck all over the tooth surface,

it not only reduces aesthetics

but can also look unpleasant to the patient,

which can affect confidence and social life.

Not all stains can be removed with scaling,

but mild stains

and those caused by nicotine can be removed to some extent.

However, if we are not just cleaning simple calculus,

the procedure may take about 5 to 10 minutes longer.^^

I’ll show you what it looked like after scaling was completed on the same day at Sillim Dental Clinic.

What do you think?

It’s really clean now, right?

You can’t even tell where the calculus had been attached,

and since the black plaque that had been stuck to the lingual surface is gone,

the original shape of the teeth has finally come through.

Doctor, my teeth feel rough!

At Sillim Dental Clinic,

there are also often patients who say this after calculus removal,

and right after the procedure it may feel a little rough

and unfamiliar,

but this is the true shape of your teeth.

Until now, the plaque and residual debris in the mouth may have filled in all that space,

making it feel smooth,

but that also means many bacteria were colonizing there,

so please be sure to receive it regularly at the proper interval going forward.

If you go today, it costs 20,000 won.

If you forget and go later, it costs 200,000 won.

If you go when it hurts, it costs 2,000,000 won.

Of course, I’m saying this jokingly,

but if you neglect your oral health,

it could become a reality.

So why not take less than 30 minutes out of your day today

to get a simple checkup?

That’s all for today’s post.

Thank you for reading.
