Why is it important to get a teeth cleaning twice a year?
A combination of three factors: Saliva , Bacteria and sugar create whats called plaque. Plaque is a bacterial biofilm. a soft layer of these three componets created usually after food consumtion. It is sticky and it typically ramains in between teeth or around the gumline. Plaque contains bacteria which are not healthy ad can cause caries, bad breath and bleeding of the gums.
What is Tartar?
If plaque is not removed effectively with brushing and flossing, it turns into a hard layer which is then harder to remove. Plaque after 5 to 7 days becomes tartar, a mineralized lawer which adheres on the enamel and under the gums. At this point the removal of tartar is not possible to be removed with oral hygiene tools and thats why dentists recommed a routine dental cleaning every 6 months where mechanical tools are used to remove tartar and plaque.
How are teeth celaned at the dentist?
Typically two different tools are used to clean your teeth: Hand scalers and ultrasonic scalers
Ultrasonic scalers: are machines which use a specific frequency to vibrate the tip of a sharp instrument. The tip of this instrument through vibrations dislodges the tartar from the suface of the enamel. There are different types of tips depending on the location of the tooth that needs to be cleaned. All ultrasonic scalers spray water while working to avoid heating the tooth.
It is impotant to note that expensive brand machines have higher eficasy and do not damage the enamel while removing tartar. whereas cheaper brands are not tested adequately and are 10 times less eficient in properly cleaning your teeth.
Hand scalers: In most cases ultrasonic scalers can not remove all tartar build up, thats why hand scalers are used to manually remove even the finest laywers from the surface of your teeth. They require special training which could take years to master. At Toronto Dental we have a dental hygienist specialist who is trained to use both methods in achieving the best dental cleaning in Tirana.
