Patient Preparation:

Examination:

Scaling Technique:

• Gently insert the curved tip of the scaler just under the edge of the tartar or plaque deposit.
• Use controlled, short, and precise strokes to remove the deposits. Work away from the gumline to prevent damage to the gums.
• Be gentle to avoid damaging tooth enamel and sensitive areas.

Rinsing and Suction:

• Regularly rinse the area being worked on to remove debris and maintain visibility.
• Use a dental suction device to remove excess water and debris from the patient's mouth.

Assessment:

• Periodically stop and assess the progress of the scaling. Ensure that you have effectively removed all deposits.

Completion:

• Once you have thoroughly scaled the designated areas, finish the procedure.

Post-Procedure Care:
