When people don't practice proper dental hygiene, bacteria in the mouth forms plaque on the teeth. These bacteria may cause your gums to become inflamed, which results in red, swollen, or bleeding gums.

Scaling is done by a machine called ultrasonic scaler machine. It is not painful procedure but you will get a filling of sensation during the procedure. That's all. Don't be anxious. Thanks.
