Unfortunately, food and bad habits cannot but leave a mark on tooth enamel. A soft coating first appears on the surface of the tooth, which hardens over time, turning into tartar. It is almost impossible to clean your teeth yourself. Therefore, professional toothbrushing is becoming increasingly popular .
Immediately it is worth noting that cleaning and bleaching are completely different things. And if professional whitening can threaten the removal of the upper layer of enamel, then cleaning will only help remove plaque and tartar.
Professional toothbrushing: indications for use
To begin with, it is worth noting that dental cleaning is primarily used to prevent such unpleasant diseases as periodontitis and tooth decay.
Using special methods of modern dentistry, you can completely clean your teeth of stone. In addition, this technique is indicated for those people whose teeth are covered with colored plaque remaining from the abuse of coffee, tea, wine and some food products, as well as from smoking.
And, of course, professional toothbrushing is carried out before their whitening. It is worth noting that cleaning is absolutely safe: it does not damage the enamel, dentures or existing fillings.
Ultrasonic professional toothbrushing
Not so long ago, the only way to get rid of plaque and stone was to mechanically clean the tooth surface. However, this procedure was extremely painful, so few agreed to it.
Today, the most effective and popular is considered professional brushing with ultrasound. Ultrasonic vibrations of a certain frequency quickly destroy tartar and other deposits, without touching the enamel itself.
How is professional brushing done?
As a rule, the purification procedure takes place in three main stages:
- First, a doctor with a special device processes each tooth, including hard-to-reach places. Due to ultrasonic vibrations, plaque and tartar break up 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 high pressure, washing off the remaining particles of plaque and stone. In addition, a similar procedure significantly brightens the surface of the tooth.
- Further, the doctor carefully polishes each tooth - this manipulation allows you to restore the natural whiteness, smoothness and shine. For polishing, special nanoabrasive toothpastes are used. By the way, such products contain fluoride.
Of course, the procedure cannot be called pleasant: most patients complain of discomfort and even pain. However, anesthesia is performed only at the request of the client.
Professional toothbrushing is an excellent prevention of a number of diseases. But it is recommended that it be carried out no more than 1-2 times a year.
How much does professional brushing cost?
The question of the cost of the procedure worries many people who plan to restore their whiteness and health to their teeth. In fact, itβs almost impossible to name the exact price, because here everything 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, the cleaning of the tooth surface can cost 1000, or maybe 10,000 rubles.
