Everyone knows that the basis of healthcare is the prevention of possible diseases. To prevent the disease, you need to know its cause and the factors that accompany its spread. In this, hygiene plays an important role - the oldest science designed to improve and maintain health. One of its components is individual oral hygiene, which, in turn, is an indisputable guarantee of healthy gums and teeth. Clean teeth are healthy teeth, and the quality of life itself directly depends on them.
A modern person does not leave home without brushing his teeth. But this is not always enough to keep the teeth and oral cavity in perfect condition. That is why professional oral hygiene is a widely sought-after service of dental offices. It is an effective preventive and cosmetic product that helps prevent the development of caries and inflammatory processes in the gums.
Comprehensive hygiene involves visiting the dental office for preventive purposes at least once every six months. This will help to identify carious cavities, rid yourself of most of the problems in the future associated with gum and tooth disease .
Professional dental hygiene at the dentist provides an opportunity to explore hard-to-reach places, namely periodontal pockets and interdental spaces where a large amount of bacterial plaque accumulates. Personal hygiene products cannot cope with this problem, since these places cannot be cleaned with a regular toothbrush.
Nevertheless, there is an intensive accumulation of microbes, which leads to the formation of various kinds of dental deposits, which are then converted into plaque in the form of tartar. Subsequently, this leads to the development of inflammation.
Professional oral hygiene is the timely removal of dental plaques and stones. This procedure is carried out by a hygienist or dentist. It is carried out in cases of accumulation of dental formations and stones, as well as before any therapeutic, surgical, orthopedic or orthodontic measures. Professional oral hygiene solves several basic tasks at once:
- medical - maintains healthy gums and teeth for a long time, maintains the correct microflora, has a strengthening effect on the body as a whole;
- aesthetic - a set of procedures for enamel clarification;
- economic - no financial investment in dental treatment is required.
Do not forget that the appearance of tartar can be affected by poor oral hygiene, abnormal features of the jaw structure and untimely correction of occlusion.
Professional cleansing is carried out in several successive stages:
- removal of tooth formation and stone by ultrasonic scalers that do not damage the enamel;
- sandblasting of pigmented plaque, which is formed due to smoking, abuse of coffee, tea and other drinks with coloring substances;
- polishing teeth with a nano-shaped, fluorine-containing paste;
- finish coating with fluorine and calcium-containing preparations for saturation of tooth enamel.
Dentists believe that professional oral hygiene should be carried out at least 2 times a year. This will help reduce bleeding and gum disease. In addition, each person is required to consult a dentist for the correct choice of toothpaste or brush, learning the rules of the standard method of brushing teeth. Many, unfortunately, underestimate this approach, and this is the individual oral hygiene , which has long been effectively used throughout the world.
