Don’t Mistake Scaling in Gangdong-gu for Removing Teeth!

Hello~

I’m Jang Tae-hyun, the chief director of Seoul Bardi Dental Clinic.

“Scaling wears down teeth, so I don’t want to get it.”

Scaling is a basic dental treatment.

After scaling, it feels like there is more space between my teeth.

You may also wonder whether your teeth have been worn down.

Don’t mistake scaling in Gangdong-gu for removing teeth!

To get straight to the point,

scaling is not a treatment that removes teeth!

If scaling actually removed teeth, I wouldn’t be telling you to get it often.

I’ll clear up all the misunderstandings patients have!

Question 1. After scaling, there is space between my teeth.

Scaling does not create space by wearing down the teeth;

rather, it removes the tartar that was already there,

revealing the original shape of the teeth.

The teeth were originally spaced apart...

It’s just that the tartar filled in that space.

In fact, as the gums recede,

that space gets filled with tartar.

This space is called a “black triangle.”

It has a black triangular shape,

so it does not look aesthetically pleasing.

There are treatments that can fill in the space as well,

so please contact the dental clinic!

As tartar is removed, the space between the teeth becomes more noticeable.

This is actually a return to a healthier state,

not removal of the teeth.

Question 2. I heard scaling too often is bad..

Sometimes patients who come in for scaling in Gangdong-gu say,

“Is it okay? It hasn’t been that long since I had it done..” “I heard scaling too often is bad..”

I don’t know which expert said that, but ㅠㅠ

after scaling, your gums become healthier.

Tartar is not just something that looks unpleasant and feels rough.

It is a toxin that causes gum inflammation,

so you should get it removed regularly, like an annual event.

If it is not removed, it becomes a major cause of loose teeth and tooth loss!

If water is a problem, there are also tools that help with suctionㅠㅠ

Question 3. Scaling makes my teeth sensitive.

Isn’t that tooth damage?

Some people also say their teeth become sensitive after scaling.

Rather than being sensitive because the teeth are damaged,

it’s like sleeping under a blanket in winter,

and then suddenly having the blanket yanked away—it gets cold, right?

(Has everyone experienced this~?? haha)

This is a temporary symptom that appears as the tooth surface covered by tartar becomes exposed.

It naturally goes away over time,

so there is no need to worry too much.

However, if the tooth root is exposed and feels sensitive

((when the gums recede, or the root area is worn down..)

it needs a separate medication to be applied,

or it needs to be filled.

240221 In cases like this, it’s not that scaling caused the sensitivity; the tooth root is exposed, which is why it feels sensitive.

If the sensitive symptoms continue, a return visit is a must!

If you are considering scaling in Gangdong-gu,

please get it along with regular checkups at a nearby dental clinic!

You should make sure to take care of it every year without forgetting.

It’s not something you do just once and that’s it!

We eat three meals a day,

and food debris builds up every day.

(It’s truly hard to brush perfectly...)

That’s why you should also use a separate mouthwash~! It helps prevent tartar formation.

Tartar also forms again,

so regular scaling in Gangdong-gu is necessary.

In general, twice a year

(once every 6 months~)

at minimum, once a year,

and for people with weak gums,

patients with periodontal disease,

or those who say, “I get tartar easily!”

more frequent care is needed.

Scaling is the easiest way to maintain healthy teeth and gums.

Don’t put it off—please make sure to get it!
