Professional Cleaning and Scaling

Learn about professional cleaning, temporary sensitivity and your recommended care schedule. Scaling removes hardened deposits from the tooth surface and the gum line. For patients aged 19 and over it is covered by National Health Insurance once a year. Sensitivity or bleeding afterwards is common and usually settles; what lies behind it differs from person to person, so it is worth raising at the appointment.

The articles themselves are in Korean

Our dentists write these articles for patients in Korea, and we have not translated them. Every title in the lists on these pages is in Korean, and so is the article behind it.

What is in English is the part that helps you choose: what each topic covers, and how many articles sit under it. You may use your browser’s translation feature on the Korean text, but medical wording may not translate accurately. If you need anything clarified, send us the question on KakaoTalk and we will answer it before you come in.
