Tooth and Tartar Cleaning
Tooth and tartar cleaning is an important procedure that should be done regularly to protect oral and dental health. The dental cleaning service we offer at Fimed Dental Clinic ensures that your teeth look healthy, clean and aesthetically pleasing.
The Importance of Tooth and Tartar Cleaning
Prevention of Plaque and Tartar Accumulation: Plaque is a bacterial layer that accumulates on the teeth. Plaque that is not cleaned with regular brushing and flossing hardens over time and tartar (dental tartar) is formed. Tartar can only be removed with professional cleaning.
Prevention of Gum Disease: Plaque and tartar accumulation can lead to gum inflammation (gingivitis) and more advanced gum diseases (periodontitis). These conditions can lead to tooth loss.
Prevention of Bad Breath: Plaque and tartar can cause bad breath. Regular cleaning prevents this problem.
General Health: Oral health is directly related to your general health. Gum diseases can be linked to heart diseases, diabetes and other systemic diseases.
Cleaning Process
Examination and Evaluation:
Your dentist examines your teeth and gums. He/she evaluates plaque, tartar and gum problems.
Scaling:
The tartar cleaning process is performed using ultrasonic devices and special tools. These devices gently remove tartar and plaque from the tooth surface.
Tartar deposits under the gum line are also cleaned during the cleaning process.
Surface Polishing:
After the cleaning process is completed, your teeth are polished with a special polishing paste. This process ensures that the tooth surfaces are smooth and makes it difficult for new plaque to accumulate.
Fluoride Application:
When necessary, fluoride is applied to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent the formation of cavities.
Post-Cleaning Care
Regular Brushing and Flossing: Brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss daily.
Healthy Nutrition: Reduce the consumption of sugary and acidic foods.
Regular Checkups: Visit your dentist regularly and follow the recommended cleaning schedules.
