Prophylactics
Prophylactics
We all clean our teeth at least two times in a
day to keep them in good condition. However, this everyday cleaning is crucial
in the process of having nice and healthy teeth but it is not enough.
During
everyday brushing we are unable to properly clean out teeth always some
sediments and deposits stays in the hardest accessible places and they became a
base for future development of decay and other dental issues.
For that reason we
have to remember about at least each six months to visit dentist and to have
professional teeth cleaning like scalling, sanding or APS (Air Polishing
System)
In our dental clinic we instruct our patients
how to clean teeth properly and advise them on the most efficient oral hygiene
products, which are also available on the spot. The products involve: modern
toothbrush (Sonicare), dental floss or oral hygiene liquids.
Professional prophylactics performed in dental
office consists of two procedures:
- removing tartar - sanding (APS)- performed by using a mixture of sand and water
under high pressure,
- removing supragingival calculus - scalling - by means of ultrasounds.
In order to preserve beautiful and healthy
teeth it is advisable to perform the operation twice a year.
