Calculus is formed by plaque that accumulates on teeth and undergoes calcification, if not properly cleaned and removed through brushing, it remineralises. At that stage it has become very hard and is impossible to be removed at home.

Residues of bacteria lead to gingivitis, periodontitis, tooth sensitivity as the gums shrink and the roots are exposed. Bacteria that enter the blood circulation can cause more serious health issues such as heart, joint, kidney diseases or even miscarriage in pregnant women.

During the removal of calculus we are able to use the smallest instrumentation with different endings in order to reach areas that may be quite difficult to clean at home and so are very important during such an appointment to be cleaned to prevent future caries or gum disease.

Stains of various origins (coffee, tea, nicotine, red wine) are also removed, the enamel is polished so it becomes smooth and shiny again.

Scale and cleans should be ideally carried out every six months. Attending frequencies may vary by people who have a predisposition or already have periodontitis.

Every patient presents with a different health status, different needs, so we strive to implement methods and treatment plans that will su

it your particular situation and generate a desired result.
