Professional cleaning is a dental procedure for cleaning hard deposits from the teeth, dental and peri-dental spaces. This procedure is performed by a dental hygienist with special tools and professional cleaning agents in Bagita Dental Clinic.
Why do you need a professional teeth cleaning?
The main cause of tooth decay and gum disease is bacteria that remain after eating. They multiply in hard-to-reach places and form plaque, which turns into tartar.
These formations have an acidic environment, which is neutralized by saliva for the first couple of hours. After the bacterial top layer hardens, saliva no longer penetrates it and does not neutralize the acid. This causes the tooth enamel to begin to break down internally and this leads to tooth decay.
Unfortunately, at home, even if correct oral care, it is impossible to completely get rid of dental deposits, so periodically it is worth visiting the dentist and cleaning in the dental office.
Come in for a professional oral hygiene treatment at the Baguita Clinic. This treatment will help get rid of fossilized plaque, remove smoker's plaque, and brighten your teeth by several shades. During the cleaning process, our dentist will talk about the most problematic areas - where you're not finishing.
Visiting this specialist twice a year not only answers all your questions about your oral hygiene. The hygienist provides professional hygiene care, which includes:
- — removal of soft plaque and pigments
- — removal of over and under gingival deposits (tartar)
- — tooth polishing
- — fluoride varnish
During the procedure, the specialist qualitatively cleans the oral cavity not only from the visible areas of the teeth, but also in hard-to-reach areas that even the best brushes do not clean.
Ultrasonic scalers are used to remove hard dental deposits to separate the tartar from the enamel. Patients with hypersensitivity may be offered local anesthesia.
How does a dental cleaning go?
Soft and pigmented dental deposits are removed with special professional pastes and air-abrasive (pearl) cleaning. Calcium powder for Air Flow cleaning - "Profiperls", allows you to gently, without trauma and maximally effective removal of pigmented plaque, polish the surface of the teeth and brighten them by 1-2 tones, which is very important for smokers and coffee drinkers.
To reduce tooth sensitivity after brushing and strengthen enamel, teeth are coated with fluoride-containing gels or varnishes at the end of all procedures.
This procedure helps:
- 1. Remove hardened plaque and tartar from all hard-to-reach areas
- 2. Lighten darkened enamel due to smoking
- 3. Clean braces, implants, metal-free dentures
- 4. Prevent periodontal disease
Brushing is recommended before fluoridation and before dental restorations.
Tartar prevention
Unfortunately, it is impossible to completely eliminate tartar formation, but thanks to simple rules you can reduce its accumulation.
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Use a mouthwash.
- Change your toothpaste periodically.
- Replace your toothbrush at least every three months. Bacteria that builds up on your toothbrush can cause serious damage to your health.
- Brush your teeth for at least two minutes. Thoroughly clean your tongue and the inside of your cheeks.
- Use dental floss.
