Tooth cleaning Castel Maggiore, Bologna.
Oral health is paramount, most people know this, but to achieve it, it is necessary to schedule dental cleanings performed by professional hygienists.
Methodically providing daily hygiene of teeth, gums, and tongue is the first piece of advice for children and adults. Brushing and flossing two or three times a day certainly prevents a number of problems, but it must be supplemented throughout the year by hygiene sessions performed in dental offices.
Cleaning that is done every day at home must be performed following precise methodologies and with extreme care, but despite following procedures precisely, it is not enough to permanently counteract the accumulation of plaque and tartar. For this reason, in our dental clinic in Castel Maggiore, Bologna we carry out, through the intervention of a professional, targeted treatments to perform dental hygiene that becomes essential to avert serious problems as well as unpleasant unsightly effects.
When and why to have a dental cleaning.
Even by putting a lot of effort into daily dental cleaning the accumulation of bacterial plaque and tartar over time is inevitable. The only sure way to eliminate them is to schedule so-called scaling, which is the oral hygiene procedure performed by a dentist or dental hygienist that involves professional practices and tools.
You need to go to a medito office for this procedure and for a follow-up visit at least every 6 months.
During dental cleaning sessions, the health of the entire oral cavity is checked and, as a result, any problems or what can lead to oral diseases are detected early.
Scaling is the most effective treatment for removing all the unwanted debris that lurks in the supragingival and subgingival region, so if done twice a year it saves money in the long run by minimizing more invasive and expensive dental treatments
It must be considered that until not many decades ago, oral disorders, especially of the gums, often evolved to the loss of one or more teeth.
Today the situation is quite different; in fact, a greater culture of daily dental hygiene and awareness of the importance of professional tooth cleaning has made it possible to combat all the knock-on effects that bacterial plaque causes.
It is fair to point out that the cadence of dental cleaning treatments changes depending on the patient. For example, a patient with periodontitis needs to visit the dentist every 3 months.
How the dentist’s cleaning is done
In addition to a preventive checkup of the mouth and teeth, a cleaning session performed by a professional that lasts about an hour includes:
Plaque and tartar removal
Verification of previously performed fillings, prostheses, and other work
Detection of possible caries
Removal of stains and imperfections by polishing
Through manual and mechanical tools, the dental hygienist is able to act in depth by cleaning even the interdental spaces and subgingival region that cannot be reached with an ordinary toothbrush.
The instruments that are used work through a high-frequency oscillation that destroys the encrustations on the teethand, as a result, the elimination of bacteria that lurk in plaque is achieved.
Also used are curettes and specils, steel hand tools equipped with sharp edges or points useful for finishing the cleaning job.
Everything used for scaling is absolutely sterilized, a detail that is perhaps obvious but should be emphasized because it underlies all medical/surgical activity.
The effects of this treatment are the prevention of periodontitis (or pyorrhea), gum retraction, halitosis, tooth decay, dentinal hypersensitivity, gingivitis, and other diseases.
After removing plaque and tartar, a suitable abrasive paste is applied to polish the teeth.
With polishing, a whitening effect is also achieved by removing stains from smoke and coffee, so the aesthetic result is also remarkable after a cleaning session in a dentist’s office. To brighten teeth even more, a specific whitening treatment can also be performed.
At AIRAM’s private dental practice in Bologna, “fast” whitening is offered, which can show the effects that can be achieved with longer, more focused action.
Do you really need professional teeth cleaning every 6 months? Indeed!
Going 2 times a year to the dentist for dental cleaning will keep the occurrence of cavities and other abnormalities that can develop into real diseases under control. For a minimally invasive procedure done every 6 months, there are significant benefits starting with overall oral health.
Allowing a small cavity to progress deteriorating the tooth or gingivitis to progress into periodontitis means seeing the dentist several times to perform sometimes complex procedures. In addition, one must consider the pain and discomfort that can be experienced when teeth are not properly monitored and cared for.
Even from a purely economic standpoint, it is absolutely advantageous to go to the dental hygienist’s office a couple of times a year for checkup and cleaning rather than waiting and having to necessarily schedule several sessions to remove a cavity, extract a tooth, or perform medical treatments necessary to defeat pyorrhea.
The best way to sit in the dental hygiene doctor’s chair the least amount of time during the year is precisely to schedule dental cleanings with regular cadences. Prevention is always the best weapon in the medical field, and this is also true for everything related to oral care.
