Each one of us has soft dental plaque, which consists of various bacteria.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If it is not removed, in a few days it hardens and forms so called tartar that is much harder to deal with. And it is necessary, because both plaque, and tartar lead to such issues, as gingivitis, periodontitis, and, later on, even to loosening and loss of teeth. Do you really need those problems?<\/p>\n

But it is possible to get rid of plaque with correct oral hygiene. It is however almost impossible for us to perfectly do it mechanically… The best decision is regular (no less than once every six months) professional hygienic dental cleanings at the dentist\u2019s (in Kiev\u00a0you can have it done at our Clinic).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A professional hygienic cleaning (or hygiene) includes a number of measures to remove teeth and gum deposits (plaque and tartar) done by a dental hygienist (a specifically trained specialist) at a dental clinic using special equipment and materials.<\/p>\n

In the process of professional cleaning a dental hygienist works in the area of 3.5-4 mm under a gum. A deeper cleaning of gingival pockets is done by a\u00a0periodontist<\/strong>, if indicated.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A hygienic cleaning at our Clinic is done in the following way:<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

1. A dental hygienist does an oral exam to formulate the best and most suitable strategy to remove teeth and gum deposits and points out dental issues he found that require your dentist\u2019s participation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

First, the doctor removes tartar. At Dubnova\u2019s Clinic STOMATOLOGiYA, we use the most modern equipment to remove tartar:\u00a0KaVo SONICflex scaler<\/strong>. It generates sound vibrations that result in removing hard teeth deposits (tartar). This technology guarantees excellent quality for removing hard plaque, but, at the same time, you do not feel any discomfort during the procedure. Although the explanation sounds a bit scary, the cleaning itself at our Clinic (in Kiev) is pain free. We do everything to avoid injuring tooth enamel.<\/p>\n

Today at our Clinic we can offer our patients one of the best methods of professional hygienic oral cleaning –\u00a0sonic dental cleaning<\/strong>. The modern procedure,\u00a0sonic dental cleaning,<\/strong>\u00a0is done with the help of an apparatus, which is called a\u00a0sonic scaler<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Unlike an\u00a0ultrasonic scaler, it ensures excellent quality of tartar removal, but, at the same time, it affects tooth tissue less, which means more comfortable tartar removal procedure for a patient and less tooth sensitivity afterwards. Depending on the situation, a hygienist might\u00a0use manual scaling instruments, which is considered\u00a0top notch in professional hygiene. Our\u00a0dental hygienist\u00a0O.G. Pisarenko<\/strong>\u00a0knows manual scaling techniques perfectly and uses them successfully.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

2. Then a hygienist proceeds to remove plaque and polish teeth. At this stage we use KAVO PROPHYflex air abrasion technology.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Tooth cleaning with\u00a0<\/strong>KAVO PROPHYflex technology<\/strong>\u00a0helps\u00a0remove\u00a0<\/strong>both\u00a0dental plaque, <\/strong>and\u00a0pigmentation<\/strong>\u00a0(from coffee, wine, tea, juice, smoker\u2019s plaque, and plaque caused by use of some dietary supplements and medicines) and\u00a0polish teeth<\/strong>. At this stage we use calcium carbonate or glycine instead of sodium bicarbonate. Calcium carbonate molecules are absolutely round and (unlike sodium bicarbonate) it does not irritate gums and lips and has better polishing properties.<\/p>\n

While\u00a0cleaning teeth by\u00a0<\/strong>KAVO PROPHYflex\u00a0<\/strong>(in Kiev<\/strong>\u00a0you can have this procedure done at our clinic), the machine feeds a stream of special mixture of calcium carbonate, water and compressed air under pressure and, thus, removes the plaque. This solution is fed under pressure and abrasive particles easily cleanse teeth and interdental spaces even in the most hard-to-reach places. It becomes a kind of a peeling for teeth. But your teeth are worth the care just like your skin!<\/p>\n

A hygienist may use glycine as an additional polishing substance. Glycine is very fine-dispersed powder, which ensure gentle tooth polishing and, if it is caught under a gum, it dissolves easily and does not cause clogs.\u00a0Glycine is used\u00a0<\/strong>very individually depending on the evaluation of a clinical situation, but in\u00a0100% of cases with implants\u00a0<\/strong>and for\u00a0pediatric hygienic cleaning<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The whole\u00a0hygienic cleaning procedure at our clinic will only require 30-40 minutes<\/strong>. First, a dentist should remove dental plaque, then – polish enamel and clean interdental spaces. After that a coating containing fluorine is applied to the teeth and\u2026 the procedure is successfully done!<\/p>\n

By the way, sonic tooth cleaning and cleaning with manual scaling instruments may be used both separately, and as an addition to another procedure that is done by a\u00a0periodontist.Our Kiev clinic\u2019s specialists recommend their patients to have a hygienic cleaning done at least once every six months (or as recommended by your dentist), depending on individual peculiarities, quality of oral care, and intensity of plaque and tartar formation.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
