Removing tartar means fewer bacteria. Having less bacteria means being less prone to pathologies! Numerous studies have shown that most oral diseases or complications can be avoided through the prevention and maintenance of proper hygiene. Despite regular brushing with your toothbrush, flossing and brushing, there are still areas that are difficult to reach and plaque build-up creates a deposit that can cause gum inflammation or affect your oral hygiene. Indeed, a build-up of dental tartar is common, each person will form more or less tartar over time. It is not only the quantity of tartar that is important, but also its composition: even very little tartar can become harmful to the gums after one year. Therefore, we recommend descaling at least once a year. [ Contact us ⟶ ](https://panadent.ch/en/contact/)### Make an appointment for a dental scaling Why choose PanaDent?

From the age of 3, your child can receive a polish to prevent tartar build-up and limit the fear of the dentist from early childhood.

For adults, prices start at CHF 99. #### Is scaling good for my teeth? Properly performed scaling by a professional does not weaken the teeth or the surface of the teeth (tooth enamel).
