What efforts are you making for dental health?

If you are only brushing your teeth three times a day after meals,

be sure to visit a clinic and get a scaling consultation.

Tartar and plaque cause periodontitis,

and their yellowish color can also make your teeth look unclean.

Even if you do not feel discomfort right away,

it can cause bad breath

and lead to various problems,

so regular scaling is recommended.

Depending on the size of the clinic or the patient’s condition,

the cost may vary,

but scaling cost is about 50,000 won.

For some reason, scaling

may seem like a procedure that is not covered by health insurance,

but it is actually a procedure that can be covered by health insurance,

so the scaling cost is reduced to one-third,

roughly 15,000 to 20,000 won.

To receive the benefits of scaling cost coverage under health insurance,

it can be applied once per year,

from January 1 to December 31.

If you had one scaling procedure covered by health insurance in December,

you can have another scaling procedure covered by health insurance in January.

Even after learning the scaling cost,

many people may still hesitate because they are afraid of pain.

If the condition of your teeth or gums is not good,

sensitivity or bleeding may occur.

So, to prevent your teeth and gums from getting into poor condition,

you should receive regular scaling.

Or, due to mistakes caused by an inexperienced dental hygienist’s technique,

if the pressure holding the scaler is too strong,

or if the tip of the scaler touches the teeth perpendicularly,

you may feel pain.

For these various reasons,

even if you know the scaling cost,

if you hesitate because you are afraid of pain,

painless scaling using gargle anesthesia and the like is also possible.

You may already know the scaling cost

and painless scaling,

but some people may still hesitate because they think it will take a long time

and they do not have the time.

The scaling procedure takes

about 30 minutes to 1 hour,

but if you receive scaling regularly

and your teeth and gums are in good condition,

it can be finished in around 10 minutes,

so I strongly recommend getting regular scaling.

The recommended frequency for scaling is

1 to 2 times a year;

for smokers, 2 times a year;

and for those suffering from periodontal disease, 3 to 4 times a year.

As mentioned earlier, pain can occur due to mistakes caused by an inexperienced dental hygienist’s technique,

and painless scaling requires the skill of a dental hygienist with extensive experience.

Not only skilled expertise,

but also kindness,
