It is important to know that It is impossible to prevent tartar formation.! That is why it is necessary to have it removed by a specialist in a timely manner. The regularity of this procedure depends on each organism individually, and the doctor will prescribe your regularity.

Let's try to briefly explain the entire process of plaque formation and all the complications it causes: first plaque appears, then tartar, which irritates the gums, gingivitis and periodontal disease. If periodontitis progresses, this can lead to the fact that a significant area of bone is exposed, the tooth will be loose and the patient will lose it. It is important to know that periodontitis can only be stabilized, but it is impossible to cure it! That is why it is necessary to diagnose this disease as early as possible and prevent its development. Tooth loss is a serious stress for us, so it is necessary to raise the care of your teeth to the highest level! Patients with periodontitis need to visit a periodontist once every 4 months to maintain the stabilization of the process! This can be avoided if you take care of oral hygiene with the regularity that your doctor advises.

Professional teeth cleaning usually consists of two stages:

At the first stage cleaning, the doctor will remove tartar. With the help of ultrasonic scaler Hard tartar is removed without any problems. The fact is that tooth enamel is much stronger than dental plaque. Ultrasound destroys the tartar, but the tooth remains intact and unharmed. During the procedure, the gums are minimally injured. It is worth noting that patient reviews after a professional cleaning procedure can be very diverse. For some, this is a normal thing, while for others, going to the dentist is like going to hard labor. To avoid unpleasant sensations, the dentist will administer local anesthesia (a gel or spray is used), which will allow the procedure to be carried out as comfortably as possible.
Second stage: Dental plaque is something between hard tartar and plaque – even an ultrasonic scaler is “not up to the task”. Plaque, plaque and roughness after removing hard tartar are eliminated by a light abrasive system. Most often – this system Air Flow. Water and abrasive powder polish all the problem areas of the tooth. The tooth becomes smooth and naturally white, because the plaque that covered the tooth is now gone. The dentist may also advise polishing the teeth abrasive paste. Do not refuse this extremely important procedure. The fact is that under the influence of saliva, microorganisms and food, dental fillings change their color and very quickly fail. Abrasive paste cares for fillings and extends their service life.

If you turn pale with fear at the sight of a dental chair, the only thing I can advise you to do is to get rid of this bad habit! And start with professional cleaning of your teeth. The doctor will also teach you how to brush your teeth yourself correctly and with a properly selected toothbrush! Although you are sure that you have been able to do this since childhood. And, please, do not be lazy to visit the dentist several times a year for a preventive examination. It is much cheaper and does not hurt at all!
