Professional cleaning

Professional prophylaxis -continuing protection against cavities and periodontal disease. Cavities and periodontitis are infectious diseases caused by bacteria. These bacteria place themselves in between tooth and gingival. There they turn the sugar into acids, which will attack your teeth. The consequences are well known, tooth aches and "holes" in your teeth, infections of the gums and finally loss of teeth. Fortunately we can avoid that - by participating in our prophylaxis program for healthier and more beautiful teeth.

Prophylaxis - Just before a gingival treatment, implantation, dental restoration, teeth whitening it is important to remove all bacteria from the oral area. This can be done through teeth cleaning (prophylaxis). It is essential to prepare for optimal treatment. Afterwards, regular cleaning intervals are recommended in order to guarantee long term success.

The aim of the prophylaxis program is to provide for the highest level of cavity and periodontal disease protection. This can incorporate:

Professional teeth cleaning;

Fluoriding and sealing of single teeth.

The treatment plans vary depending on your personal choice, normally intervals of about 6 months are sufficient.

Professional teeth cleaning is performed combining Air-flow and Ultrasound scaler.

The Air-flow is ideal for removing of plaque. By using a jet formed by a mixture of air, powder and water, the AIR-FLOW removes dental plaque, soft deposits and surface stains from pits, grooves, interproximal spaces and smooth surfaces of the teeth. We use sophisticated KAVO PROPHYFLEX 3 system.

Scaling is a procedure to remove calculus (tartar), soft deposits (plaque) and stains from the teeth by using the Ultrasound scaler. It makes the procedure for the removal of calculus more time-effective and delivering higher patient comfort.

Scaling is procedure that meticulously removes contamination toxins, micro-organisms, plaque, tartar, cementum, dentin that is rough and/or permeated by calculus from around, below and under the gum line down to the bottom of the pocket. This is done to remove biofilm, calculus, and toxin in order to obtain a healing response.

Dental hygienists are specially trained to work with the dentist in giving care to patients. They play an important role in dental health care and are mainly concerned with gum health, showing people correct home care and applying preventive materials to the teeth and gums.The hygienist's main role is to professionally clean the teeth for the patient. This is usually called scaling and polishing. However, perhaps their most important role is showing the patient the best way to keep the teeth free of plaque. The hygienist will work with your dentist to provide care tailored to your needs.
