Dental cleaning is the fastest and most effective way to remove dental calculus. If there is dental calculus, it can lead to gum disease, showing redness, bleeding, or false periodontal pockets. If there is dental calculus, it may also lead to periodontitis, such as alveolar bone resorption, tooth loosening, deep periodontal pockets, or attachment loss, and of course it may also lead to significant halitosis. Therefore, dental calculus needs to be removed. The best way to remove dental calculus is to wash teeth, that is, ultrasonic supragingival scaling. Of course, if dental calculus on the root surface is removed, manual subgingival scaling can be used.
