Do you notice bleeding gums or bad breath?
Bleeding gums, tartar buildup, swollen gums, or persistent bad breath may be signs of gum inflammation or early periodontal problems. These conditions are common, but they should not be ignored.
Why you should choose us?
At MintTeeth Dental, our dentist will carefully check your gums, clean hard-to-reach tartar, and explain what may be causing your symptoms before recommending the right care.

Your gums bleed when brushing or flossing

You have visible tartar around your teeth

Why it matters: Healthy gums support a healthier smile

Regular scaling and gum check-ups help keep your mouth cleaner, your breath fresher, and your gums healthier.

Why do my gums bleed when I brush my teeth?
Bleeding gums may be related to plaque buildup, tartar, gum inflammation, or early gum disease. A dentist can check your gum condition and remove tartar that cannot be cleaned with regular brushing.
Can scaling help with bad breath?
Yes, scaling can help if bad breath is caused by tartar buildup, plaque, or gum inflammation. However, bad breath can also come from cavities, dry mouth, or other oral health issues, so a dental check-up is recommended to find the cause.
Does dental scaling hurt?
Most patients feel only mild pressure or sensitivity during scaling. If your gums are inflamed or you have heavy tartar buildup, you may feel slight discomfort, but the dentist will work gently and explain each step.
How often should I get my teeth cleaned?
Many patients benefit from dental cleaning every 6 months, but the right schedule depends on your tartar buildup, gum condition, and oral hygiene habits. Patients with gum disease may need more frequent visits.
How much does scaling and gum care cost?
The price starts from $12, but the final cost depends on tartar buildup, gum condition, bad breath causes, and whether additional periodontal care is needed. The dentist will check your condition and explain the cost before treatment begins.
