A filling must be done to restore the damaged portion and remove the decayed teeth structure. The filling material can either be silver amalgam or a tooth colour restorative.
Pyorrhea (gingivitis and periodontitis) and Scaling-dental stone or tartar (scientifically known as calculus) deposits form at the junction of teeth and gums giving rise to a disease known commonly as pyorrhoea. This disease is characterized by Bad breath, bleeding gums, pain and sensitivity. The treatment involves a procedure known as scaling. In this simple and relatively painless procedure the calculus deposits are removed every six months to 1 year. Continuous untreated. Deposition of calculus leads to pyorrhea, scientifically known as gingivitis. Gingivitis is a bacterial infection of the gums aided mainly by calculus. The gingivitis shall eventually evolve into periodontitis which is a more severe form of the disease involving the tooth root and bone. The fate of such teeth is an ever increasing mobility and pain and eventual shedding. Ultrasonic scaling is a modern procedure adopted to remove heavy deposits of calculus. Scaling is a painless procedure and requires 1 to 3 sitting to perform. This treatment not only ensures a disease free gum but also gives your teeth a long life. A prevalent wrong notion about scaling is that it leads to opening of gaps between teeth and causes tooth mobility, which certainly is wrong to assume.
