A dentist or dental hygienist performs a dental operation called teeth cleaning, also known as dental scaling, to remove plaque and tartar buildup from the teeth.

Some signs include

• Visible tartar accumulation is incredibly close to the gum line.
• Bad breath that is resistant to mouthwash or brushing.
• Gums that are swollen or bleeding.
• Tooth pain or sensitivity.
• Gum-line recession.
• Tooth decay.
• Routine procedure.

Preventive cleaning: This is a routine procedure to maintain optimal dental health, usually performed every six months.

Scaling and root planing: Deep cleaning procedures like this are frequently used to treat gum disease.

Gross debridement: If there is a significant tartar accumulation, this preliminary cleaning process can be required.

Routine periodontal care: This is done following a thorough cleaning or periodontal therapy to keep the gums healthy.
