How is tartar cleaning done?
Evaluation of Tooth Surfaces: The dentist identifies the areas where calculus is present and creates a cleaning plan.
Use of Ultrasonic Device: With ultrasonic devices, dental stones are cleaned by breaking and vibration. These devices clean the tartar quickly and effectively.
Detailed cleaning with hand instruments: The remaining calculus and plaque are thoroughly cleaned with hand instruments. At this stage, the areas between the tooth surfaces and gums are carefully cleaned.
Polishing Teeth are polished using special polishing pastes and brushes. This makes tooth surfaces smooth and delays the formation of new plaque.
What is the Importance?
Prevention of Gum Diseases: Tartar is one of the main causes of gum disease. Scaling helps prevent gingivitis (gingivitis) and advanced gum diseases (periodontitis).
Elimination of bad breath: Dental calculus leads to the accumulation of bacteria that cause bad breath. Cleaning removes bad breath by eliminating these bacteria.
Prevention of Tooth Decay: Tartar and plaque build-up causes bacteria that cause tooth decay to multiply. Cleaning helps prevent tooth decay.
Aesthetic Appearance of Teeth: Tartar cleaning makes the teeth look whiter and brighter. This is aesthetically satisfying.
