Descaling is an essential preventive treatment to maintain the health of your teeth and gums. It consists in removing tartar accumulated on the enamel, especially in areas that are difficult to reach with a toothbrush.
### Why do you go down?
Tartar promotes the development of bacteria responsible for gum inflammation (gingivitis), cavities, and even periodontitis if left untreated. Professional descaling can prevent these complications and maintain a healthy mouth.
### How often should this be done?
It is recommended to descale:
- Every **6 to 12 months**, depending on your hygiene and your risk of tartar
- More often if you have a history of periodontal problems
- Before certain treatments (orthodontics, implants, etc.)
### How does the session take place?
The dentist uses ultrasonic or manual instruments to remove tartar. It is a quick, painless procedure, and often followed by polishing to smooth the teeth.
