Professional Teeth Cleaning
What is professional teeth cleaning?
Professional teeth cleaning means the removal of dental calculus and plaque by a dental hygienist in a dental clinic using special equipment. The procedure is necessary for the prevention of oral diseases to have a healthy and beautiful smile.
Why do I need to have a professional cleaning?
At home, it is impossible to have a complete dental hygiene treatment. Plaque cannot be completely removed from certain areas of the tooth. Over time, the plaque left on the tooth turns into a persistent (stony) mass, which significantly damages the enamel of the tooth.
The treatment advantages:
- Revitalization of the gum tissue
- Prophylaxis of cavities
- Removing bad breath
- Maintaining of natural color
How often should I get a professional dental cleaning?
Professional cleanings are recommended once every 3-6 months, averaging 40 minutes.
How is the professional cleaning performed?
The procedure consists of three stages:
- Ultrasonic preparation (Scaler) removes hard (plaque) stones formed on the surface of the teeth and under gums.
- By using the system Air-flow in hard-to-reach places the soft plaque is removed with antiseptic powder.
- The final stage involves polishing the teeth with abrasive paste.
