UltraSonic Scaler We use UltraSonic Scalers for most adult dental cleanings. These devices use ultrasonic vibrations to help break down the plaque and calculus on the teeth that cause gingivitis and periodontal disease. An excessive amount of plaque can cause an infection which can leas to another dental related problem that will require a root canal. The ultrasonic cleaners create microscopic bubbles that implode on the surface of the tooth, killing microbes and removing plaque and tartar in the process.Our instruments use a thin tip to better navigate in the periodontal pockets to help maintain optimal gingival health. The procedure uses water and/or an antimicrobial liquid called chlorhexadine. It can remove tartar buildup in hard-to-reach areas, with no damage to the tooth enamel. Manual scaling often uses pressure for cleaning, while the vibration produced by the scaling tip of an ultrasonic scaler is barely perceptible. The cleaning process is faster than manual scaling, making your visit more comfortable. Are you in need of a dental cleaning?
