Today, dental clinics offer patients a procedure for professional oral hygiene, which consists of a thorough mechanical cleaning of teeth with the use of modern devices. The result of the procedure is not only the early detection, but the prevention of serious dental diseases: caries and periodontitis. The procedure is performed by a dental hygienist.

Modern food and food do not contribute to self-cleaning of teeth during chewing. Foods rich in fiber, activating salivation and mechanical cleaning of teeth, are rarely included in the diet. They are replaced with crushed, sticky food (cutlets, porridges, mashed potatoes, cakes), the remains of which accumulate in the mouth, are fermented, rotted and become a breeding ground for pathogens. In such conditions, even with regular cleaning of teeth, tartar formation is observed, which threatens diseases of the mucous membranes of the oral cavity. The neglect of preventive procedures and regular examinations at the dentist is fraught with the emergence of serious diseases that can destroy the tooth. If the severe consequences still occurred, and the tooth was removed, the best means of prosthetics for today is an implant. Implantation allows to achieve excellent effect both in terms of medicine and aesthetics.

The procedure for professional hygienic cleaning is to remove deposits and dental calculi, especially in the cervical areas, which are considered to be the most inaccessible. With the help of regular professional cleaning, it is possible to prevent the development of caries and periodontal diseases, and also to get rid of bad breath.

In the clinic professional oral hygiene is performed in the following sequence:.

• removal of hardened dental deposits;.

• removal of microbial plaque;.

• grinding and polishing teeth;.

• application of fluorinated varnishes or gels.

First, the dentist, using an ultrasound device, cleans the area above and below the gums, and then manually produces the final instrumental cleaning.

Disinfection treatment is then carried out. Pigmented microbial swelling is removed by hardware. The teeth are fed with a jet of water with a special powder dissolved in it.

After removal of tartar, the patient needs grinding and polishing teeth. This procedure is carried out using a rotating brush with paste applied to it.

The final stage is the application to the teeth of a fluorinated varnish or gel, which not only gives the teeth a beautiful appearance, but strengthens the tooth enamel. At the request of the client, teeth may be coated with a whitening compound. After the procedure of professional oral hygiene, the teeth become perfectly smooth and beautiful.

For most patients, scaling, grinding and polishing the teeth is absolutely painless. Those who suffer from increased sensitivity of the teeth may feel a slight discomfort. If during the professional hygiene of the oral cavity appears blood, there is severe pain, and after it appears puffiness, it indicates the presence of diseases. Sometimes during the procedure, periodontal pockets are found and the patient is referred for consultation to a periodontist who prescribes appropriate treatment.
