Dental cleaning of teeth and its after-effects

The cleaning of teeth in a dentist is different: by means of ultrasound and water pressure, tartar is removed, and with it numerous microbes and bacteria accumulated on the teeth for a long time.

In addition, such cleaning is an excellent prevention of gum disease. Remove this way you can not only dental plaque, but also a stone that is even below the gum level( in some cases to the root level).

If, after an ordinary tooth brushing with a brush and paste, the bacteria begin to be deposited on the teeth and in the "pockets" after 2-6 hours, then when using ultrasound, the period increases significantly, and if the rules of prevention are followed after the procedure,even for a longer period.

As for professional cleaning of teeth, in this case it is sometimes not possible to avoid pain after the procedure. The most popular today is ultrasonic cleaning, but even ultrafashionable devices and tools can not provide painlessness of the process if: the

If you consult a doctor, and there are microcracks or caries in your teeth, you can not avoid pain. Healthy teeth( or treated) in most cases do not react so much to the procedure.

So, the first condition for painless cleansing is healthy teeth, but the second - a specialist who will conduct the procedure, should be professional in his field.

If a newcomer or a person who has not proven himself in this area is involved, you can prepare for the pain after the procedure, even if during that time you were given anesthesia( in some cases, it is prescribed).

  • Ketoral;
  • Nurofen;
  • Pentalgin.
