Unfortunately, food and bad habits cannot but leave a mark on tooth enamel. A soft plaque first appears on the surface of the tooth, which eventually hardens, turning into tartar. It is almost impossible to clean your teeth on your own. Therefore, professional teeth cleaning is becoming more and more popular.
Immediately it should be noted that cleaning and bleaching are completely different things. And if professional whitening can threaten to remove the top layer of enamel, then cleaning will only help remove plaque and tartar.
Professional teeth cleaning: indications for use
To begin with, it is worth noting that dental cleaning is primarily used to prevent such unpleasant diseases as periodontitis and caries.
With the help of special methods of modern dentistry, you can completely clean your teeth of tartar. In addition, this technique is indicated for those people whose teeth are covered with colored plaque that remainsfrom the abuse of coffee, tea, wine and certain foods, as well as from smoking.
And, of course, professional teeth cleaning is carried out before whitening. It is worth noting that cleaning is absolutely safe: it does not damage the enamel, dentures or existing fillings.
Professional ultrasonic cleaning
Not so long ago, the only way to get rid of plaque and calculus was mechanical cleaning of the tooth surface. However, this procedure was extremely painful, so few people agreed to it.
Today, professional teeth cleaning with ultrasound is considered the most effective and popular. Ultrasonic vibrations of a certain frequency quickly destroy tartar and other deposits without touching the enamel itself.
How does a professional teeth cleaning work?
As a rule, the cleansing procedure takes place in three main stages:
- First, the doctor treats each tooth with a special device, including hard-to-reach places. Thanks to the vibrations of ultrasound, plaque and tartar disintegrate into small particles. The enamel remains intact.
- Then the oral cavity is treated with a special mixture, which contains water, soda and air. It is fed under great pressure, washing away the remaining particles of plaque and stone. In addition, this procedure significantly brightens the surface of the tooth.
- Next, the doctor carefully polishes each tooth - such a manipulationallows you to restore the natural whiteness, smoothness and shine. For polishing, special nano-abrasive toothpastes are used. By the way, these products contain fluoride.
Of course, the procedure is not pleasant: most patients complain of discomfort and even pain. However, anesthesia is performed only at the request of the client.
Professional teeth cleaning is an excellent prevention of a number of diseases. But it is recommended to carry out it no more than 1-2 times a year.
How much does a professional teeth cleaning cost?
The question of the cost of the procedure worries many people who plan to restore whiteness and he alth to their teeth. In fact, it is almost impossible to give an exact price, because everything here depends on the condition of the oral cavity, the equipment used, as well as the wishes of the dental clinic itself.
As for the approximate price, cleaning the tooth surface can cost 1000, or maybe 10,000 rubles.
