Question: What exactly is the dentist doing in your mouth when you are having a periodontal scaling!?
What tools is he using, what does the tool do, you know!.!.!.that kind of stuff!. ;)Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
He's using metal tools to scrape off the plaque!. Then they use a probe to measure the depth of the spaces between your gums and your teeth!. If these spaces are too deep (the gums are detaching from the base of the teeth) it can mean gingivitis!.
A lot of dentists use ultrasonic scaling, which uses a machine that vibrates the tool, to loosen the plaque easier!. It also sprays water at the tip of the tool to keep it (and your teeth) cool, and wash off the surface of the teeth!.
After the scaling, they polish your teeth surfaces, and then it's time for flouride treatment!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
