Scaling of the root surface and subgingival - a guarantee of health and beauty of the teeth

Everyone knows the proverb "meet on the clothes. ..", but not only for the clothes. A smile plays almost the main role in the first perception of a person.

With the help of an open and friendly smile you can always place the interlocutor to yourself. But in order to smile broadly, you need to have beautiful teeth.

Will help keep your teeth beautiful and healthy

Scaling not only helps make the smile beautiful, but also keeps your teeth healthy. After all, even daily brushing of teeth does not protect the oral cavity from all possible dental diseases.

The smallest pieces of food can accumulate in the dental spaces that are inaccessible to the toothbrush. Together with coffee, tea, tobacco, alcohol, they contribute to the formation of plaque. And it, in turn, is converted into tartar.

Such a course of circumstances inevitably leads to a mass of unpleasant gum disease, which can lead to tooth loss. About the aesthetic appearance of a smile, one can not speak here - from a plaque, teeth become yellow and ugly.

In the process of professional teeth cleaning, called scaling, all harmful deposits are deleted. This ensures the beauty of the smile and the health of the mouth.

Varieties of the

procedure There are two methods for conducting supra- and subgingival scaling. The first is the removal of tartar and plaque by hand, by means of devices with sharp tips.

Today, this method is used extremely rarely. It takes a lot of time, and the effect leaves much to be desired. In addition, in this case there is a certain risk of gum injuries.

A more effective and safe way is ultrasound scaling.

Patients with healthy gums have enough professional teeth cleaning, which means removing plaque and stone only from the coronary( visible) part of the tooth.

When penetrating the calculus between the tooth and the gum, scaling subgingival is needed. It lasts longer because it affects more complex areas.

Ultrasound action

The procedure itself consists of several steps:

1. Initially, cleaning is performed using modern apparatus equipped with vibrating heads that emit ultrasound. Under the influence of high-frequency waves , the destruction of tartar occurs even in the most inaccessible places.
2. Next, sandblast tooth cleaning is carried out. Residues of dense deposits and dark spots( caused by food, drinks, etc.) are removed with the help of a therapeutic mixture directed by a strong flow of air. As a result, teeth become lighter in 1 -2 tone. It is completely harmless and painless.
3. The final stage is polishing of the tooth surface of by a special compound. Polishing prevents re-deposition of tartar. In addition, this procedure promotes tooth saturation with fluoride. And this helps to avoid cavities.

As a result, the patient "gets" teeth shining with natural whiteness.

But the most important thing in this procedure is that it contributes to the preservation and strengthening of dental health. After all, the cleaning process extends not only to the visible surface, but also to the areas hidden by the gum. It is there that most of the tartar accumulates, which is the source of the beginning of dangerous gum disease.

Price issue

The average cost of this procedure reaches 6000 rubles. This is not so expensive compared with treatment or restoration of teeth with prosthetics.

Therefore it is better to spend once every six months scaling and shine a healthy smile than to constantly visit the dentist and endure the unpleasant procedure for caries treatment.

And worse, when tartar causes diseases such as periodontitis, which result in: aesthetic appearance of teeth, smell from the mouth, bleeding gums and loss of teeth.
