Does scaling loosen or damage teeth?

No — this is a common myth. Scaling removes hardened deposits; any temporary sensitivity or perceived looseness is because inflamed tissue is healing and shrinking back to healthy contours.

How often should I get cleaning done?

Every six months for most adults, and every three to four months if you have a history of periodontal disease.

Gum care, scaling & deep cleaning

Bleeding gums and persistent bad breath are early warnings of periodontal disease — the leading cause of adult tooth loss in India. Treated early with scaling and root planing, it is almost always reversible; left alone, it silently destroys the bone that holds your teeth.
