Dental Tartar Cleaning: The First Step to Healthy Teeth
Tartar cleaning is one of the most important steps in protecting your dental health. Over time, plaque and tartar build up on our teeth, which not only affects our aesthetic appearance but can also lead to serious gum diseases and tooth decay. With professional tartar cleaning, these deposits are gently removed from your teeth, gum inflammation is prevented, and your overall oral health is preserved.
What Is Dental Tartar and Why Does It Form?
Plaque:
The food and drink residues we consume mix with the bacteria in the mouth to form a sticky layer called plaque.
Tartar:
If not cleaned regularly, plaque hardens over time and turns into tartar. Tartar adheres firmly to the tooth surface and can only be removed by professional dental care.
Why Is Dental Tartar Cleaning Necessary?
Prevents Gum Diseases:
Tartar buildup can lead to inflammation of the gums and cause gum diseases.
Prevents Tooth Decay:
Tartar creates an ideal environment for bacteria to thrive, which can result in tooth decay.
Eliminates Bad Breath:
Tartar contributes to the accumulation of bacteria that cause bad breath.
Improves Aesthetic Appearance:
Tartar cleaning reveals the natural whiteness of the teeth, providing a healthier and brighter smile.
How Is Dental Tartar Cleaning Performed?
Ultrasonic Cleaning:
Dentists use ultrasonic devices that emit vibrations and water spray to gently remove tartar from the teeth.
Manual Instrument Cleaning:
Tartar below the gum line is carefully cleaned using special hand tools.
Polishing:
After cleaning, the tooth surface is polished with a special paste to make it smooth and shiny.
