Collection: Scalers

A dental scaler is a dental instrument used to remove plaque, tartar, and other deposits from the surfaces of teeth both above and below the gum line. It is typically a hand-held device with a metallic end shaped like a hook or curved blade designed for physically scraping off these buildups to maintain oral hygiene and prevent gum disease. There are different types of dental scalers including manual hand scalers, sonic scalers, and ultrasonic scalers, with ultrasonic scalers using high-frequency vibrations and water to effectively clean the teeth and gums with less discomfort and greater efficiency.
