Teeth cleaning is performed by a dentist in a clinic setting and it protects oral and dental health, prevents gingival diseases from developing and helps us to prevent tooth loss.
Teeth start to decay when daily brushing and oral care are insufficient. Most of the gingival diseases that cause tooth loss and disruption in oral hygiene are caused due to insufficient oral and teeth cleaning.
Correctly and fully cleaning between the teeth, behind the teeth and gingiva requires care and time. Unfortunately, many people act hastily when it comes to teeth cleaning. Brushing the teeth only 2, maximum of 3 times and hastily may cause tartar, gingival recession or other gingival diseases.
Teeth cleaning, along with its protective effect on oral and dental health is also used as the first step of the treatment for dental and gingival diseases:
During the teeth cleaning the dentist checks all-around the teeth and gingiva and this is the best form of an oral and dental examination.
In the examination performed before teeth cleaning, the patient is informed about the general condition of the teeth, gingiva and mouth. The type of teeth cleaning procedure is planned during the examination. The procedure in teeth cleaning to be followed for a person with a general tartar problem and for a person who has gingival recession or other gingival diseases is different.
Teeth cleaning is one of the most frequent applications that we use in treatment and preventive dentistry. It is a complete dental care that includes teeth, gingiva, bacterial plaque, and tartar cleaning.
During the teeth, plaque and tartar cleaning it is important to prevent damage to the tooth enamel while using some of the devices that we use in dentistry. Thanks to the special pastes used, it is possible to protect and even strengthen the tooth while cleaning it. Also, the cleaning power of water is utilized at every stage of the process.
During the teeth cleaning, after cleaning the tartar and bacteria residues on the gingiva, a deeper gingival cleaning is performed. In case of infection, the gingivae are washed with antibacterial solutions and sterilized.
Since teeth cleaning is also done to make the teeth look white and clean, the treatment is completed with applications such as teeth toning and teeth whitening.
The teeth cleaning process is a protocol that includes tartar and plaque cleaning, gingival washing, teeth spot and teeth cleaning or teeth whitening process based on the patient’s request. The content of the application can be customized according to personal needs.
The area between and behind the teeth where we cannot reach with daily brushing gets spots on them in time, and in places where the brushing is insufficient, the color of the teeth begins to change. The teeth cleaning is performed by a dentist who deeply and thoroughly cleans the teeth, removes stains and whitens the teeth.
During this process, a professional dentist brush, special pastes, water and antiseptic mouthwash are used.
Tartar cleaning is a kind of treatment rather than a care process and it is impossible to perform it at home and it is required to be performed by a dentist without damaging the teeth. It constitutes the most important aspect of the teeth cleaning process.
Tartar occurs as a result of inadequate oral care and teeth cleaning. In some people, oral secretions and hormonal structure may support the formation of tartar. The accumulation of food residues on the gingiva for a long time is the beginning of the process that progresses until the bacterial plaque forms tartar.
Various dental instruments, along with water and medicines that dissolve the tartar, are used in tartar removal. Tartar is cracked with ultrasonic devices that use some kind of vibration. With the softening effect of water, tartar is gradually removed from the surface of the tooth.
After removing tartar, the teeth are cleaned, and the area is repaired and polished with enamel-strengthening polishes and pastes to prevent its re-occurrence.
Tartar is a structural defect that occurs adventitiously and harms the gingiva. It causes bacteria to form in the mouth and threatens oral and dental health. Therefore, it must be cleaned from the teeth.
Tartar removal is not harmful and the mouth has to be free of tartar and plaques for dental and gingival health.
Gingival cleaning is done based on the condition of the gingiva. In the case of gingival diseases, a teeth cleaning protocol focusing on gingival cleaning is applied, and in this case, the treatment may need to be repeated several times.
Gingival washing which is applied in the scope of teeth cleaning for people with healthy gingiva includes the protection of the gingiva from bacteria residues during the full mouth and teeth cleaning procedure and eventually the deep cleaning and sterilization of the gingiva.
Bleaching, also known as teeth whitening, is a process in itself that fall under aesthetic dentistry. It is necessary to clean the teeth before teeth whitening.
Teeth whitening, which is carried out within the scope of tooth cleaning, is applied to all or discolored teeth to harmonize the tooth color, upon the patient’s request and/or if the physician recommends it.
After tooth cleaning is completed, tooth color is checked. In patients who want to have a whiter smile, all teeth are whitened a few tones with teeth whitening.
After the teeth cleaning is completed, a final polishing is applied with aesthetic touches which allows the formation of light of shadow on the teeth while smiling.
Depending on the content of the application, teeth cleaning prices may vary per the patient’s case. For example, teeth whitening is priced separately from teeth cleaning.
Teeth cleaning has a wide price range in the dental clinics operating in İstanbul. The quality of the materials used in each clinic is different and depending on the pricing policy, the cost of teeth cleaning varies from clinic to clinic.
Considering that it will protect your oral and dental health and save you from larger dental expenses in the future, we can say that routine teeth cleaning and examination is a great investment to make on yourself regardless of the price.
