Revitalize your smile with professional tooth stone cleaning, eliminating stubborn tartar and enhancing oral health through comprehensive dental care.
Toothstone cleaning is the process of cleaning yellow or brownish-colored stones on teeth. A toothstone or tartar is plaque that hardens on teeth, can be noticed, and is caused by bacteria.
Your dentist will decide whether cleaning the tartar requires a standard or more advanced cleaning. In the case of regular dental stone cleaning, the dentist removes dental residues, plaques, and calculus from the teeth and the gum line. Then, polish each tooth with a special paste to polish.
The primary goal of tooth stone cleaning is to prevent gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis) by eliminating bacteria-rich deposits that can irritate the gums and lead to inflammation and infection.
Dental professionals recommend regular tooth stone cleaning every six months to maintain oral health and prevent tartar buildup from causing more serious dental problems.
Besides improving oral hygiene, tartar removal can also enhance the appearance of teeth by reducing visible stains and discoloration caused by plaque buildup.
Assessment: Your dentist will assess the extent of tartar buildup on your teeth and determine whether a standard cleaning or a more advanced scaling procedure is needed.
Scaling: During the cleaning, the dentist uses specialized dental instruments to carefully remove plaque, tartar, and calculus from the surfaces of the teeth and along the gum line. This process may involve manual scaling tools or ultrasonic instruments that use vibrations to break up and remove deposits.
Polishing: After scaling, the dentist polishes the teeth using a special paste. This helps smooth the tooth surfaces and remove any residual plaque or stains, leaving the teeth clean and shiny.
Tooth stone cleaning is the process of removing yellow or brownish-colored hardened plaque, known as tartar, from the teeth. Tartar is caused by bacterial buildup and can contribute to gum disease if not removed.
Tooth stone cleaning is essential for preventing gum disease, such as gingivitis and periodontitis. By eliminating bacteria-rich tartar deposits, it helps prevent inflammation and infection of the gums, maintaining oral health.
Dental professionals recommend regular tooth stone cleaning every six months to prevent tartar buildup and maintain optimal oral hygiene. More frequent cleanings may be recommended depending on individual oral health needs.
The procedure begins with an assessment of tartar buildup by your dentist. Depending on the extent, either a standard cleaning or a more advanced scaling procedure may be performed.
