Professional descaling

The key to a healthy smile

Why is tartar removal important?

Good oral hygiene is essential to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Tartar is not only an aesthetic problem, but can lead to serious dental and gum disease in the long term. It can develop despite regular brushing and flossing, which is why professional tartar removal is essential. Don't let plaque compromise your smile and the health of your teeth!

How does tartar form?

Calculus is a hardened form of plaque that forms on the teeth by the deposition of minerals. This deposition is particularly prevalent on the gumline and in the areas between the teeth. If not removed in time, it can cause inflammation, which can lead to bleeding gums, gingival atrophy and even tooth loss. Prevention is always easier and less painful than cure - act early!

Professional scaling: the effective solution

Professional dental scaling is performed by a dental hygienist using ultrasonic equipment and special hand tools. This treatment is painless, gentle and effectively removes stubborn deposits from teeth. For a cleaner, healthier smile, it pays to see a professional regularly!

The process of plaque removal:

1. Preliminary health check - A thorough examination of the condition of the teeth and gums to help determine the most appropriate treatment.
2. Ultrasonic dental scaling - We use modern technology to painlessly remove tartar and plaque.
3. Cleaning with manual tools - We remove even the smallest dirt from the tooth surface and hard-to-reach areas.
4. Tooth polishing - Teeth become smooth and clean, reducing the build-up of plaque later on, so your teeth stay clean and tartar-free for longer.
5. Fluoride treatment (optional) - It strengthens tooth enamel and helps prevent tooth decay, making your teeth even more resistant.

How often is dental scaling recommended?

The rate of tartar formation varies from person to person, but in general recommended every six months have a dental hygienist check the extent of tartar build-up. If you are more prone to tartar build-up or have gum disease, you may need more frequent check-ups. Don't wait until you have serious problems - regular tooth cleaning and check-ups are the key to long-term oral hygiene!

The benefits of descaling:

• Prevents gingivitis and periodontal disease, avoiding painful and expensive treatments.
• Reduces unpleasant breath, which is often caused by tartar.
• Aesthetically more attractive smile, as your teeth will be whiter and cleaner.
• Keeps teeth healthy in the long term, reducing the risk of tooth decay and tooth loss.
• Increases self-confidence, because a bright, healthy smile gives you confidence in everyday life!

How can tartar re-growth be prevented?

After tartar removal, it is particularly important to develop good oral hygiene habits to prevent tartar from forming again. Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and flossing or brushing are essential to remove plaque, especially from hard-to-reach areas. Regular six-monthly dental hygiene check-ups and treatment, if necessary, are also key to detecting and treating oral problems early. Proper oral care not only protects the health of your teeth, but also ensures you have a beautiful and confident smile!
