Professional teeth cleaning

No matter how hard you try, the brush and paste are not able to provide a quality plaque removal and prevent the formation of a stone. Therefore, at least once every six months, each person needs professional teeth cleaning at the dentist. At the moment, the development of medical technologies allows it to be carried out very quickly, painlessly and effectively.

How do professional teeth cleaning?

The times when tartar and plaque had to be mechanically scraped off and knocked down with the help of special tools were left in the past. Today, the procedure is as follows:

  1. Cleansing the enamel from plaque and stains with a water jet with sodium bicarbonate particles of a certain size under high pressure (Air Flow sandblasting method). This method is practically painless, since it does not damage the enamel due to the microscopic nature of the abrasive components, but is the most effective.
  2. Removal of tartar by means of a scaler - professional cleaning of teeth by ultrasound . The device is a small metal hook through which ultrasonic vibrations are transmitted. The peculiarity of such cleaning is that it provides the removal of deposits under the gums that are not visible to the naked eye.
  3. Polishing the surface of the teeth with special rubber bands rotating at high speed with the use of professional dental pastes.
  4. Strengthen enamel drug with a high concentration of calcium and fluoride. This paste is filled with a cap, which is put on the teeth and aged for 15 minutes.

Professional cleaning of teeth can literally in 30-40 minutes not only qualitatively remove all available soft and hard deposits, clarify the enamel by 1-2 tones, but also prevent the development of caries and other diseases of the mouth and gums, because in the process of cleansing colonies of bacteria are eliminated .

Professional hygienic cleaning of teeth with braces

In the case of installing the bracket system, dental care and adaptation should, of course, be more thorough. The procedure itself is no different from the standard methods, only to conduct it is recommended at least 1 time in 5 months.

It should be noted that with braces, and without them, after professional cleaning of teeth, you can not eat foods with the ability to color enamel (coffee, carrots, strong tea, beets, beverages with dyes) for 2 days to fix the result.

Professional cleaning of teeth at home

Of course, at home, it will not be possible to eliminate plaque and tartar as qualitatively as in the dentist's office. But there are several ways to care for the oral cavity without major financial costs:

  1. Cleaning with a mixture of pasta and finely crushed activated carbon tablets (proportions are the same) for 3 minutes using a toothbrush.
  2. Careful rubbing of the upper surface of the enamel with a cotton swab dipped in hydrogen peroxide.
  3. Cleaning with a mixture of soda, shallow sea salt and toothpaste (instead of soda you can take crushed calcium tablets). Ingredients are taken in the same proportions.

In addition, it is effective to clean the teeth with a special gel that is purchased in the dentist's office. The product is filled with a cap and dresses for 2-3 hours. In addition to cleansing, the gel contributes to a marked whitening of the enamel and does not harm its integrity.

Professional teeth cleaning - contraindications

You can not perform the procedure for exacerbations of gingivitis , periodontitis and periodontitis. These diseases should be cured beforehand, and then proceed with cleaning. It is also not recommended to remove the plaque with increased sensitivity of the enamel, because cleaning with abrasive particles can trigger bleeding from the gums and strong pain sensations.
