Scalers

Scalers are vital dental instruments specifically designed to remove plaque, tartar (also known as calculus) and surface stains from teeth, particularly in hard-to-reach areas such as along the gum line and between teeth. These instruments are commonly used during professional dental cleanings to help maintain oral hygiene and prevent gum diseases like gingivitis and periodontitis. Scalers come in two primary forms: manual scalers, which are operated by hand and allow for precise control during cleaning and ultrasonic scalers, which use high-frequency vibrations combined with a water spray to efficiently break up and remove hardened deposits from the teeth. Ultrasonic scalers are especially useful for quicker and deeper cleaning with a very minimal discomfort.
