If you’re worried about scaling cost

Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic Scaling

To protect healthy teeth,

even if you brush every day,

a toothbrush alone makes it difficult to completely remove

tartar and plaque that build up deep between the teeth.

Even if there is no obvious discomfort on the surface,

tartar can cause periodontitis,

make the gums swell,

and even become a source of bad breath.

That is why regular scaling is

not just a choice, but an essential part of care.

The cost of scaling

varies slightly from clinic to clinic,

but it is generally around 50,000 won.

Many people think it is not covered by insurance,

but in fact, it is covered by National Health Insurance.

Once a year,

with insurance coverage,

it can be received for about 15,000 to 20,000 won.

The coverage period is

from January 1 to December 31 each year,

so it is possible to get it once at the end of the year and once again in the new year.

Thanks to health insurance,

you can greatly reduce the financial burden,

so there is no reason to hesitate because of the cost.

The part most people worry about in scaling is

the pain itself.

If the condition of the teeth and gums is already poor,

sensitivity or bleeding may occur,

and discomfort can also be felt if the procedure is performed by someone with insufficient skill.

However, if you delay the procedure because of this,

the situation only gets worse.

When tartar builds up thickly,

the pain during treatment actually increases,

and eventually treatment becomes necessary.

Therefore, when the gums are healthy,

having it done regularly is

the best way to minimize pain.

How to reduce scaling pain

Recently, various methods have made

painless scaling possible.

Using mouth-rinse anesthesia or topical anesthesia together can reduce discomfort,

and if an experienced dental hygienist performs the procedure carefully,

the treatment can be done with almost no pain.

For painless scaling to be done properly,

the practitioner’s skill is most important.

Only when someone with a sufficient understanding of the structure of teeth and gums,

and with plenty of experience,

performs the procedure can it be safe and comfortable.

Scaling time, scaling frequency

Scaling is not a procedure that takes a long time.

Most cases are finished within 30 minutes to 1 hour,

and if you have been taking good care of your teeth and gums,

it can even be completed in about 10 minutes.

The recommended frequency is as follows.

For the average adult: 1 to 2 times a year

For smokers: 2 times a year

For patients with periodontal disease: 3 to 4 times a year

If you maintain care by following this schedule, you can keep your mouth clean and healthy without major pain.

Why scaling is important

Scaling is not simply a procedure for whitening teeth

or for cleanliness.

It helps prevent gum diseases such as periodontitis and gingivitis.

It is also related to cardiovascular disease and diabetes, so it can help with overall health management.

As chewing function improves, brain stimulation increases,

and it may also have a positive effect on preventing dementia.

In other words, scaling is a basic treatment for protecting health, not a cosmetic procedure.
