Hygienization in Krakow

What is hygiene at Denti-Med and when is it worth deciding?

Dental hygiene at Denti-Med is a preventive treatment involving the removal of plaque and tartar. Hygienization treatments are recommended for every patient. Before starting the procedure, it is recommended to consult a dentist in order to select an individual action plan, so that the patient will know what area he should focus on.

Hygienization is recommended as part of prevention, especially for patients who:

• are prone to caries,
• have visible tartar and plaque,
• are before treatment with orthodontic appliances,
• are planning teeth whitening.

Why is dental hygiene important?

Tartar and plaque contribute to the formation of caries and bleeding gums. These, in turn, may lead to periodontitis (so-called periodontitis). Proper hygiene is also the key to a beautiful, white smile, so professional hygiene should be part of your habits.

Tartar – causes of formation

Tartar is a problem that an increasing number of patients face, and the lack of appropriate care contributes to the problems. Dental plaque also occurs in hard-to-reach places that cannot be reached with a toothbrush alone. Therefore, using dental floss and rinsing your mouth is very important to prevent food remains.

Rapid scale build-up may be influenced by:

• poor oral hygiene,
• inappropriate diet,
• genetic factors,
• malocclusions that make proper hygiene difficult,
• disturbances in the composition and quantity of saliva in the oral cavity,
• poorly made or damaged prosthetic fillings.

Dental hygiene in Wieliczka at Denti-Med – treatments

Hygienization in Krakow made at Denti-Med involves several treatments, and their selection depends on the patient’s needs, his problem and the dentist’s recommendations.

The main treatments include:

• fluoridation,
• sanding,
• polishing,
• scaling.

Tartar removal – what does hygiene look like at Denti-Med?

This treatment should be performed regularly because it protects the teeth against serious oral problems and diseases. Tartar deposition is a natural process, so removal is necessary for almost every patient.

Unremoved tartar can lead to caries, gum inflammation, as well as periodontal disease and tooth loss. In addition, the residue is unsightly and leaves bad breath, so it is worth taking care of regular hygiene.

Teeth sandblasting Krakow

Another method of hygienization we offer in Krakow, is the method that removes deposits and discolorations caused by frequent consumption, e.g. of coffee, tea and smoking. The purpose of sandblasting is to remove sediment and surface discolorations by using a stream of water, air and cleaning particles under appropriate pressure.

Scaling

Regular scaling is effective protection against the development of tooth and gum diseases. It involves the removal of tartar from the tooth surface resulting from the deposition of dental plaque, which undergoes mineralization.

Teeth fluoridation

This is one of the last stages of the entire hygiene process. During this stage, a fluorescent agent is applied in the form of foam. Its task is to properly protect the teeth and protect against the development of caries. Thanks to fluoridation, it is possible to mineralize early carious lesions, which prevents their development.

Teeth varnishing

This process involves covering the tooth surfaces with varnish containing the appropriate amount of fluorine compounds. This strengthens the teeth and has an anti-cariogenic effect. The treatment is performed on teeth previously cleaned of tartar.

Polishing of teeth

It is usually performed after sandblasting. It involves removing the remaining deposits using polishing pastes. For this procedure, the dentist uses specially designed rubber bands that smooth the enamel surface, preventing plaque from remaining on the tooth surface. At the same time, this treatment prevents the formation of caries. Full oral hygiene requires polishing to achieve the best results.
