Why do I need to clean my teeth and what is the cost of the service for a dentist?

Over time, the teeth of any person lose their former whiteness, darken, they form a plaque.

Even if all the necessary hygienic procedures of the oral cavity are carried out every day, this can not be avoided.

Help in this situation can only professional cleaning teeth in the dentist's office.

Why clean the teeth?

Over the years, tooth enamel is significantly thinner. On it constantly there are coloring substances from various food stuffs and from it it darkens.

In addition, even with the best quality teeth cleaning at home, they still retain some of the plaque and various deposits. Over time, they accumulate, thicken and turn into tartar.

If the absence of whiteness is primarily an aesthetic defect, the presence of a stone can lead to more serious diseases of the gums and teeth, such as gingivitis, periodontitis, caries and others.

Removal of tartar and plaque in the dentist can prevent the occurrence of serious diseases, since only during the procedure can completely remove solid deposits.

Ways to solve the

problem More recently, dentists have cleaned and whitened teeth using a mechanical method.

That is, the whole procedure was performed manually with the help of special devices and tools, required considerable efforts from the doctor and delivered unpleasant sensations to patients. Now this method is practically not used.

Currently, the most popular ultrasonic cleaning, laser and using the apparatus Air flow. Each of these methods has advantages and disadvantages.

Air flow cleaning

This method is based on the use of an air jet in combination with water and abrasive. The role of the latter is most often played by baking soda, but sometimes a powder based on glycine is used instead.

The jet, fed under high pressure, flushes the plaque on the teeth and soft deposits, removes traces of smoking and is able to slightly brighten the tooth enamel.

But the Air flow device is unable to remove more dense, old deposits, which means that it is not very effective as an independent cleaning method.

Ultrasonic cleaning

This method is based on the use of wave oscillations of a certain length. They are produced by a special apparatus - an ultrasound scaler. Under its influence, tartar begins to break down and separate from the enamel.

Simultaneously with ultrasonic waves, the device supplies water under high pressure. It prevents the heating of the teeth and flushes the particles of plaque. Some ultrasonic devices are able to remove deposits even from dentogingival pockets.

During cleaning, tartar is removed, teeth look whiter and healthier, and the gums improve.

Laser cleaning

The procedure is carried out by a laser beam, which causes instantaneous boiling of the liquid contained in the calculus, and its destruction into small particles.

In addition, the laser destroys all pathogenic bacteria that are on the surface of the teeth. It makes the enamel more susceptible to the curative compounds used to strengthen it.

Laser cleaning provides removal of plaque not only on the surface of the enamel, but also in hard-to-reach places. The teeth and gums are bactericidal, which leads to a more rapid healing of ulcers and wounds in the mouth.

The gums cease to bleed, become healthy. There is a clarification of tooth enamel on several tones.

Laser tooth cleaning is more effective than other methods, it not only removes tartar, but also fights against other problems of the oral cavity. Ultrasonic cleaning is practically not inferior to it, they are approximately on the same level and are absolutely harmless to the patient.
