For dental cleaning, we use only high class equipment. The sandblaster, scaler and materials of the highest quality used in the treatment will ensure that you will be able to enjoy a healthy and white smile for a long time.
What is a dental cleaning?
As a part of a dental cleaning appointment, the dentist removes tartar, as well as surface deposits and bacterial plaque. To obtain a complete and satisfactory result, several stages need to be carried out:
1. Scaling, that is a removal of dental calculus. This procedure is performed with an ultrasound scaler, which, when vibrated, destroys calculus and removes it from the surface of the teeth.
2. Sandblasting, which removes deposits and discolourations. It is performed using a dental sandblaster, which sprays a special powder under pressure with an appropriate amount of water into the mouth. Thus the powder easily reaches even the most inaccessible areas and spaces. Sandblasting is a completely painless and safe procedure. However, there's a risk that particularly sensitive patients can experience slight discomfort caused by gum irritation.
3. Polishing, which smooths the teeth surface and thus limits the accumulation of deposits. Teeth polishing has to be performed after scaling.
4. Fluoride treatment, which is a specialised procedure that involves applying a preparation that contains a large dose of fluoride. We apply this preparation in two ways: by foam or varnish. The method is selected individually to each patient. There is no question of any pain during a fluoride treatment. The whole procedure usually takes barely a few minutes. It is important to know that fluoride treatment is recommended not only for children but also for adults to protect teeth against enamel demineralisation.
How often should such dental cleaning be performed?
In general, it is best to use dental cleaning service at least once, and preferably twice a year. It is advisable to consult with your dentist as to the frequency of treatments which will be appropriate in your case. Self-monitoring is also important here. If you are unable to clean your teeth or you notice unsightly deposits that you cannot remove while brushing your teeth, then you should definitely go for a dental check-up. You should know that if you drink a lot of coffee or tea, smoke cigarettes or have a diet low in minerals, you should use such cleanings more often.
At our practice, dental cleaning procedures are performed by certified hygienists. You can rest assured that they will be carried out in a professional and safe way. You also don't have to worry about forgetting your next appointment or check-up. Each patient is reminded about the treatment every six months. During the check-up, the general condition of your mouth will be evaluated so that you can forget about dental appointments for months to come.
