Teeth cleaning. We will gently remove tartar and clean your teeth in Kransodar

What to expect during a hygiene visit?

During your initial examination and dental cleaning, our hygienist will review and evaluate your medical history to determine if there are any medical conditions that may affect your treatment.
At each subsequent visit, the Doctor will evaluate your oral health and note any changes. Each new patient visit begins with our specialists performing x-rays. If you are pregnant or have a medical condition that prevents you from having an x-ray, please note this in your medical record. If you have had an x-ray within the last 12 months, please send it to our dental clinic by email

or bring the study disc with you. Our goal is not to take an x-ray, but to have diagnostic material so that we can provide you, our patients, with a comprehensive dental examination and draw up a comprehensive treatment plan. The doctor will screen for oral cancer and oral lesions, and also test for oral symptoms of other serious diseases, including heart disease, cancer and diabetes. One of our dentists will conduct an examination of your dentition (dental examination) to look for possible new and recurring cavities. If one is found, conditions and treatment options will be explained to you. During a periodontal examination, your gums will be assessed for signs of gum disease by measuring the periodontal pockets with a probe. Our hygienists are trained and certified to administer local anesthesia to relieve discomfort during treatment, although this is rarely required as they have a very light hand and therefore a very gentle touch. As a rule, the simple use of desensitizers provides comfortable tooth brushing. At the end of your visit, the dental hygienist will teach, review, and reinforce proper oral hygiene techniques, including effective brushing and flossing. Our patients prefer to be treated by the same dentist. Regarding hygiene appointments, we support the same. Having the same professionals working with you regularly develops mutual understanding and continuity of dental care and knowledge of the individual needs of each patient.

Contraindications

Like any medical procedure, ultrasonic teeth cleaning has its contraindications:

Installed pacemaker;
Acute inflammatory processes in the periodontium, osteomyelitis;
Oncological neoplasms in the oral cavity;
Erosion of soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity;
Severe form of diabetes mellitus;
Acute and chronic infectious diseases;
Severe diseases of the cardiovascular system;
Epilepsy;
A history of retinal surgery (consultation with an ophthalmologist is required).

What does regular teeth cleaning include in our dentistry?

The teeth cleaning procedure consists of several stages:
First, the dental hygienist will identify areas of tartar and plaque. Plaque

is a soft film covering your teeth that can be removed by proper brushing, tartar or hardened plaque that can only be removed with dental instruments. The hygienist will then remove the visible deposits on the stone using our ultrasonic machine, an ultrasonic scaler that sprays water. The next part of teeth cleaning is done using hand tools called scalers. The hygienist will clean all surfaces of your teeth—even the tiny spaces between teeth and along the gum line, where plaque, tartar, and bacteria that cause gum disease collect. The last part of teeth cleaning is done using a prophylactic toothpaste. The prophylactic paste is of better quality which dissolves into a finer texture as it removes the remaining plaque from your teeth. This is the part that patients like the most because this is where the teeth become bright, shiny and smooth. While brushing your teeth, the hygienist also pays attention to areas where plaque and tartar have accumulated. These areas indicate that you need to use the best brushing and flossing techniques to maintain healthy teeth and gums between dental visits. Once your dental cleaning is complete, your hygienist will review these areas with you and provide recommendations to help you correct your brushing technique so you can maintain good oral hygiene.

Stages of the procedure

Ultrasonic cleaning is a serious medical procedure and is therefore performed according to an approved protocol. First, the doctor visually examines the patient, determining the degree of contamination of the enamel layer. Then - a mandatory medical history. This allows the doctor to identify possible contraindications. If the patient has hypersensitive enamel, then local anesthesia is given. After this, the cleansing itself begins. The power and other settings of the device are selected by the dentist based on the specific clinical case. The next stage is grinding the ultrasonic-treated teeth using a drill and a special attachment, or manually. In conclusion, the doctor recommends covering the enamel with fluoride varnish to strengthen it and reduce sensitivity.

Note: experts recommend that after ultrasonic removal of tartar, you undergo a professional Air Flow cleaning procedure. This will not only allow you to ideally remove remaining soft deposits, but also make your teeth visually lighter by 1 – 2 shades.

What is the cost of teeth cleaning?

We offer a package fee for examination, consultation and professional teeth cleaning in the amount of 15,000 rubles per year. If you are a healthy patient who does not require frequent dental examinations and treatment, you can pay and schedule a routine dental examination and cleaning once every six months. the cost of teeth cleaning, in the second case, will be 11,000 rubles for 2 scheduled visits. To ensure proper dental care for our patients, the first visit includes a digital oral x-ray (with panoramic x-ray), a comprehensive dental exam, nutritional counseling, oral hygiene instructions, and a dental cleaning.

Can I have my teeth with braces cleaned at Dial-Dent if I am undergoing treatment in another clinic?

We accept all patients, no matter whether they undergo orthodontic treatment at Dial-Dent, in another clinic, or with a private specialist. Teeth should be clean and healthy! It's the most important!

There are advantages for patients of the Dial-Dent orthodontic department.

You can combine a visit to the orthodontist (scheduled visit) and professional dental hygiene without wasting time visiting different clinics.
If there is severe plaque buildup, the orthodontist may remove the wire from the bracket system before cleaning. After dental hygiene, the arch is installed in place. Since cleaning does not last long, orthodontic treatment is not interrupted. Removing the wires allows you to better clean all elements of the braces system, as well as the teeth around the braces and along the gums.

In any case, the teeth will be cleaned to the highest possible quality, just the time spent on brushing will differ.

Why are there different types of teeth cleaning?

There is only one dental procedure, which is teeth cleaning, prophylaxis or otherwise - professional oral hygiene. All other procedures, although may be referred to as cleanings, are periodontal treatments. The reason they are called “cleanings” is because the treatment process is similar to the regular teeth brushing that we are familiar with. Please read on to find out what these procedures entail.

preventive teeth cleaning

- This is a routine teeth cleaning performed every 6 months by a hygienist or dentist. This type of dental cleaning is provided to healthy patients to remove plaque and tartar that has accumulated above the gum line.

COMPLETE, ULTRASONIC, CALCULUS REMOVAL

- This is a “pre-cleaning” procedure. It is carried out ONLY in patients with very serious stone formation, almost overgrown with teeth and gums. This procedure is performed prior to the examination and may require additional teeth cleaning and/or periodontal treatment.

CLOSED OR OPEN CURETAGE

is a medical procedure to cleanse the space between the tooth and gum. It is prescribed to treat early stages of gum disease or as a pretreatment before surgery for patients with more severe gum disease. The procedure will be carried out by our dental hygienist or our periodontist. The goal is to reach below the gum line and remove tartar and bacteria that accumulate on or near the roots. You may also need antibiotics to kill hard-to-reach bacteria. To learn more about periodontal disease and its treatment, visit Periodontics.

CLEANING + PREVENTION OF GUM DISEASES

is a periodontal cleaning that can be performed by a dental hygienist or periodontist. Periodontal maintenance is prescribed in lieu of preventative dental cleanings for patients with a history of any type of gum disease. Unlike regular tooth brushing, the frequency of periodic maintenance varies. Depending on the severity of the gum disease, the doctor will decide whether the patient should undergo treatment every 3 or 4 months.

Is it painful to have professional cleaning?

Patients often wonder if it hurts to have their teeth cleaned at the dentist. Regardless of the method used, there is no pain. A feeling of discomfort may occur when removing mineralized formations. In this case, ultrasound is prescribed. Ultrasonic teeth cleaning is also recommended during pregnancy and increased tooth sensitivity.

Why do I need to have an examination and x-ray at my first visit?

Being one of the best dentistry in Krasnodar with more than 14 years of experience, Smile Clinic has developed its own principles to provide the best dental care to our patients. From the moment you enter our dental office, we take responsibility for your well-being. However, without x-ray vision, neither our hygienists nor our doctors can guarantee the health of your teeth. An old filling that appears healthy may have internal decay that cannot always be detected just by looking at the tooth. Periapical pathology that forms at the tip of a tooth root that may have been injured during a catch (or other contact game) cannot be diagnosed and will not be discovered until the nerve is dead, in which case you may end up root canal treatment or, even worse, removal of such a tooth.

How to prevent tooth decay?

Brush your teeth twice a day and floss at least once a day before bed.

Use additional cleaning products (dentifrices, etc.) as recommended by your dentist.

Have your teeth cleaned and examined every 6 months.

Eat a healthy diet low in sugar and acidic foods.

Fluoride treatment helps make teeth more resistant to decay.

Sealants applied to children's teeth help prevent tooth decay in deep grooves and pits.

Why and who needs tartar removal?

Ideally, tartar removal should be carried out once every six months. It is during this time period that it manages to form, but does not have time to provoke any pathological changes.

By the way, about the changes. Tartar deposits can not only negatively affect the aesthetic aspect of a smile, but also provoke the development of gingivitis (inflammation of the gums), caries (which is very common) and periodontal disease (severe damage to the periodontal tissue).

Please note that tartar removal can only be carried out by a dentist! Never try to get rid of dental plaque on your own using chemicals and other “folk remedies”: they can cause irreversible consequences for teeth and health in general!

Brushing with a toothbrush

Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to avoid scratching your teeth.
Use a small brush head. This will give you better access even to your back teeth. Once the bristles wear out, replace the toothbrush with a new one. Use a small amount of toothpaste, that's all you need. Having more toothpaste does not mean you will brush your teeth better, but a good toothbrush will. When brushing your teeth, hold the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle and move it in a progressive motion from gum to tooth, taking your time, covering all the areas between the teeth and the surface of each tooth. A good brush lasts two minutes. Also brush the inside and chewing surfaces of all your front and back teeth. Clean your tongue and the top of your mouth before gargling. Don't swallow toothpaste. Rinse your mouth thoroughly with water after brushing. For optimal oral hygiene, it is important to floss your teeth thoroughly and daily. Due to limited space or crowding, a toothbrush may not be able to clean all the food particles stuck between the teeth. Therefore, flossing is an important step in home care. Dental floss is used to reach below the gum line and clean between the teeth. It is very important! Remove a small amount of dental floss from the dispenser. Wrap the ends of the thread tightly around your second fingers (index fingers). Guide the floss between each tooth from the top to the gum line, pulling out any food or plaque trapped between the teeth. If you have dental restorations such as crowns, veneers or bridges, pull the floss upward while moving the floss away and towards you. Remember this: we brush our teeth in the morning for others, and before bed for ourselves!

For some patients, we recommend the addition of manual brushing and flossing. We favor alcohol-free fluoride mouthwash and the use of powered toothbrushes, as some brands of powered toothbrushes are much gentler than manual brushes and are much more effective at removing plaque.
