Hygiene and prevention
A dental implant is a long-lasting and aesthetically natural-looking treatment method used to replace missing teeth. Thanks to implants placed into the jawbone, both chewing function is restored and a healthy smile is achieved. Modern dental implant treatment is the most suitable option for maintaining oral health and preventing the shifting of surrounding teeth.
What is the process of cleaning tartar and dental plaque?
The Airflow system is an effective method used in modern dentistry for the gentle removal of discoloration and soft plaque on the tooth surface. Stains caused by factors such as smoking, tea, and coffee, as well as uneven areas on the enamel, are safely eliminated through tooth polishing with the Airflow device. This procedure smoothens the surface without damaging the enamel, prevents bacterial accumulation, and restores the natural shine of the teeth.
At RealDent Clinic, German-made KAVO PROPHYflex 4 and Japanese-made NSK Varios Combi Pro devices are used for this purpose. Both systems are based on advanced technology and ensure maximum comfort for patients through individualized selection of Airflow powders.
For individuals prone to allergies and those with sensitive gums, soft powders based on erythritol and calcium are used. These powders do not cause allergic reactions and provide safe and effective results during tooth surface polishing.
Additionally, special nozzles are used for subgingival (below the gum line) cleaning (PerioFlow), which further expands the scope of the Airflow system.
Regular polishing and cleaning of the tooth surface is not only important for aesthetics but also serves as a key preventive measure for maintaining gum health and reducing the risk of cavities.
Polishing of the tooth surface and removal of stains
Surface cleaning alone is not sufficient to maintain dental health. Scaling, the process of removing tartar (calculus), is one of the most important preventive measures in protecting against gum diseases. During this procedure, hard deposits are removed from both the teeth and beneath the gum line.
At RealDent Clinic, the scaling process is performed using Sirona ultrasonic systems made in Germany.
The Sirona ultrasonic scaling system uses high-frequency vibrations and a water spray to break down tartar safely and effectively. This technology is applied for cleaning both above and below the gum line. During the procedure, special tips are selected according to the shape and needs of the tooth surface, ensuring maximum results with minimal discomfort. The ultrasonic waves reduce bacterial load without damaging the tooth enamel and help support healthy gums.
After scaling, Airflow polishing is carried out to clean the biofilm and polish the tooth surface, completing the overall prophylaxis and ensuring that the teeth remain both healthy and aesthetically pleasing.
Antiseptic treatment of the oral cavity
Antiseptic treatment of the oral cavity is an essential preventive measure aimed at eliminating harmful microbes, preventing inflammatory processes, and eliminating bad breath. This procedure significantly reduces the number of pathogenic bacteria in the mouth, helping to prevent gum diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis, as well as other infectious conditions.
At RealDent Clinic, this service is performed using modern antiseptic solutions and advanced technologies, ensuring complete safety and effective results.
Regular antiseptic treatment of the oral cavity is strongly recommended at RealDent for maintaining oral and dental health, and for preventing cavities and gum disease.
This approach serves not only a therapeutic purpose but also contributes to the aesthetic well-being of our patients, enhancing their overall oral hygiene and comfort.
Questions and Answers About Prevention and Hygiene
What is dental plaque and how does it form? Dental plaque is a soft deposit that accumulates on the surface of the teeth, consisting of bacteria and food debris. If not cleaned in time, it hardens into tartar and can lead to gum diseases.
Is tooth polishing only for making teeth look shiny? No, polishing is not just for aesthetic purposes. A polished tooth surface accumulates less bacterial plaque and debris. This helps prevent tartar formation and supports healthy gums. So polishing is important for both beauty and health.
Do tartar and plaque cause only aesthetic problems, or do they also affect health? Tartar and plaque not only spoil the appearance of the teeth. They lead to the accumulation of bacteria, causing serious issues such as gum inflammation, bleeding, and tooth loosening. If tartar is not removed for a long time, it can eventually result in tooth loss.
Does antiseptic oral treatment provide the same effect as tooth brushing? While tooth brushing ensures daily hygiene, antiseptic treatment provides deeper cleaning and helps reduce the microbial load. Antiseptic treatment is especially recommended for individuals prone to gum diseases and for those who wear braces.
