Scale and Polish with Airflow

Scale and Polish with Airflow is not just a daily habit but an important step in maintaining oral health. However, even with thorough home care, it is impossible to completely remove dental plaque and tartar. That is why professional cleaning by a dentist is an essential part of maintaining oral health.

Gallant Dental Clinic offers modern methods that not only restore freshness to your smile but also provide prevention against caries, periodontitis, and other diseases.

Reasons for having regular Scale and Polish

Regular professional cleaning helps maintain the health of the oral cavity. The main reasons for undergoing the procedure are:

• Accumulation of dental plaque and tartar. Even with careful care, plaque and tartar gradually form in hard-to-reach areas. Their removal helps prevent gum inflammation and tooth decay;
• Prevention of tooth decay and periodontitis. Professional dental hygiene reduces the risk of developing these diseases;
• Improvement of the overall condition of the oral cavity. After the procedure, teeth look whiter, and breath becomes fresher.

In addition, professional oral hygiene is mandatory for people with crowns, implants, or braces.

Frequency of cleaning

To maintain the health of teeth and gums, dentists recommend preventive cleaning 1-2 times a year.

The frequency may depend on factors such as:

• Level of personal dental hygiene. Insufficient home cleaning requires more frequent professional cleaning;
• Dietary habits. Consumption of coffee, tea, and products that stain enamel accelerates plaque formation;
• Individual characteristics. For example, increased sensitivity or the presence of orthodontic appliances may require more frequent cleaning.

By following the specialist’s recommendations, you can ensure health and beauty for many years.

Process of professional teeth cleaning

Professional dental care at Gallant Clinic is performed in several stages:

1. Oral cavity examination. The dentist assesses the condition and identifies problem areas.
2. Ultrasonic cleaning. Removal of hard dental deposits using a special device. The procedure is painless and effective.
3. Air Flow. Removal of soft plaque using a stream of water, air, and abrasive powder. This stage provides perfect smoothness of the teeth.
4. Polishing and fluoridation. Polishing makes the surface shiny, and fluoridation strengthens enamel and prevents caries.

All stages are aimed at achieving maximum results without harming the teeth.

Methods of teeth cleaning

Gallant Dental Clinic offers an individual approach to each patient, using various cleaning methods that meet the specific needs and condition of the oral cavity.

Ultrasonic cleaning

Allows effective removal of dental tartar even in hard-to-reach places using ultrasonic waves that break down deposits without damaging enamel. This method suits most patients and is quick, painless, and safe. During the procedure, bacteria are also destroyed.

Advantages: speed, painless, safe, antimicrobial effect.

Contraindications: presence of pacemaker, acute gum diseases, pregnancy, some types of implants.

Air Flow

A special jet combining water, air, and abrasive gently removes soft plaque and pigment spots from drinks such as coffee or cigarettes. This method is a great addition to ultrasonic cleaning, providing smoothness and shine to the teeth.

Features: ideal for removing soft plaque and stains, suitable for patients with braces or implants.

Advantages: gentle impact on enamel, quick whitening, improved aesthetic appearance.

Mechanical removal of plaque and tartar

Used less frequently, mostly for special cases or cleaning teeth in hard-to-reach places. It involves the use of manual tools to remove plaque and tartar. Suitable for patients with certain orthodontic or dental structures where other methods may be less effective.

Mechanical removal of plaque allows taking into account individual patient needs. It is suitable for cleaning hard-to-reach places, especially useful for patients with retention appliances.

The choice of method at Gallant Clinic is made considering the individual needs and condition of each patient’s oral cavity. Our specialists guarantee effective and safe results.

Care for teeth after the procedure

After treatment, it is important to follow simple recommendations:

• Avoid consuming hard, acidic, or staining products within the first 24 hours;
• Regularly brush your teeth with toothpaste with low abrasiveness;

Also, do not forget about preventive check-ups with the dentist to detect possible problems in time.

Myths about Scale and Polish

The professional teeth cleaning procedure is often surrounded by various myths that may cause doubts among patients. Let’s consider some common misconceptions to dispel these concerns.

Does the procedure damage enamel?

One of the most common myths is that Scale and Polish can damage tooth enamel. In fact, if the procedure is performed by a qualified dentist, it is completely safe. Modern methods and equipment ensure thorough cleaning without damaging enamel.

Effect on sensitivity

There is a myth that after professional cleaning, teeth become more sensitive. Although some unpleasant sensations may occur, this is usually a temporary phenomenon caused by the removal of plaque that covered sensitive areas. After the procedure, the dentist may offer fluoridation, which helps reduce sensitivity and strengthen enamel.
