A member asked:
I just had my two front teeth crowned and the other two front teeth were treated with composite filling. my question is, is it ok for me to do scaling?

Yes: You can have your teeth scaled if needed. The best things that you can do is to follow the home care program that your dentist has recommended for you. This will increase the life of your crowns.

Recommended: Scaling and root planing is the removal of plaque and calculus from tooth and root surfaces. It will keep your mouth healthy and your restorations for a long time.
