Professional Teeth Cleaning

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.

  2. By using the system Air-flow in hard-to-reach places the soft plaque is removed with antiseptic powder.
  3. The final stage involves polishing the teeth with abrasive paste.
