Has another month already flown by like that?

For people like that, Seoul Dia Dental Clinic has prepared this.

Scaling, made easy! No pressure! Let’s learn the basics and get it done right!

[Scaling Cost & Health Insurance Benefits].

If you haven’t seen it yet, we also recommend reviewing it through the link below.

And today, before getting a scaling,

we’ll smartly tell you about the [Things to Prepare Before Scaling] that will completely erase the worry of “What should I do before going to the dentist?”

This episode is light, but packed with useful information! Please read it with ease.

Things to prepare before scaling — what you should not forget!

1. It is better to come after eating.

After the scaling procedure is finished,

you should avoid eating for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour.

So it is better to come after having a meal before your scaling appointment.

If you are too full, it can be uncomfortable to lie back with your head tilted,

and your stomach may feel uneasy, so please keep the meal light.

And if you brush your teeth after eating and come over,

that is truly perfect preparation!

2. You may brush your teeth in advance, or not.

This is something many people wonder about,

but you do not have to brush your teeth before scaling.

If you have just eaten, food may be stuck around the gums,

so we recommend brushing lightly before coming.

But what if you were busy and couldn’t brush your teeth before coming?

Don’t worry!

We will help you brush your teeth at the clinic before treatment,

so not brushing does not delay your scaling appointment,

and you do not need to make another reservation.

Come with peace of mind.

Seoul Dia Dental Clinic near Magok Station will have everything neatly prepared for you!

3. Check your condition before treatment.

Can I get scaling if I feel like I’m coming down with a cold?

I’ve been so tired lately that my gums seem to swell often—what should I do?

In cases like these, please speak up without hesitation.

Scaling is a simple procedure,

but depending on your physical condition, it may feel different.

Even if you are only slightly run down, irritation may feel more sensitive.

The medical staff will also adjust the intensity of the procedure according to your condition.

And are you perhaps taking blood-thinning medications (such as aspirin or warfarin)?

If you have a condition with a risk of bleeding,

such as liver disease, heart disease, or hemophilia,

please be sure to tell us before scaling.

In situations where there may be a lot of gum bleeding,

the medical staff can prepare in advance,

making the procedure much safer and gentler.

A single word for yourself, and a small consideration for the medical staff!

Our health begins with such small considerations.

4. Comfortable clothing is best.

Scaling is a relatively short procedure,

but depending on the condition of your mouth,

you may need to keep your head tilted back

and your mouth open for 20 to 30 minutes or more.

So rather than clothing that feels tight around the neck or stuffy,

or a shirt buttoned all the way up,

coming in a light T-shirt or comfortable clothes will make the procedure much easier.

5. Be sure to bring your ID.

If you want to receive scaling with insurance coverage,

be sure to bring an ID card such as a resident registration card, driver’s license, or passport.

This is especially essential for first-time visitors.

To avoid getting flustered thinking, “Ah, did I leave it in my wallet? Did I put it in my bag?”

a good idea is to check in advance when making your appointment.

Without ID, insurance benefits cannot be applied,

so please make sure to bring it so you do not make an unnecessary trip.

Seoul Dia Dental Clinic values your time as well.

Shall we review the pre-scaling preparations one more time?

1. Meal: Come after eating lightly so you are not too hungry.

2. Brushing: Not required, but if you have just eaten, please brush lightly before coming.

3. Condition: If you are tired or have gum pain, please be sure to let us know.

4. Clothing: Wear comfortable clothes that do not feel tight around the neck!

5. ID: Must be brought to apply health insurance coverage.

Scaling is not a complicated or difficult procedure.

But when you know what to expect, it becomes much more comfortable, and the results are even better.

At Seoul Dia Dental Clinic, we make sure you do not feel tense,

and we provide calm and comfortable care from start to finish.
