Many dental diseases are associated with the appearance and spread of pathogenic bacteria in the human oral cavity. Most of them cannot be removed on your own, even with careful and proper brushing of your teeth. People with a strong immune system may not be bothered by bacteria for a long time, but the risk of developing caries, stomatitis and other unpleasant diseases is still high. Therefore, professional oral hygiene is a necessary procedure for everyone who cares about dental health. At the InWhite Medical clinic, it is performed carefully, carefully and at an affordable cost; in addition, we often hold promotions for oral hygiene.
Hygiene = whitening?!
So much has already been said about the importance of maintaining oral hygiene.
However, patients are still wary of this procedure. Is it really that important?! Professional cleaning is one of the most important oral care procedures! Its colossal role is in the prevention of many diseases not only of teeth, but also of gums!
Teeth cleaning and whitening
Many people think that after brushing their teeth will become several shades lighter, but this is not true. Cleaning and whitening are completely different procedures.
The first is aimed at removing plaque, including pigmented plaque, cleaning all surfaces of teeth, and polishing them. After this manipulation, the teeth do look lighter, but only by 1-2 shades. But whitening can dramatically change the color of your smile due to various types of effects on tooth enamel. Thus, it becomes 8 or even 10 shades lighter, and this is a very noticeable difference.
Why is it important to have professional cleaning?
If home hygiene is irregular, then food particles remain on the teeth. This becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. During their life, they release acid that destroys enamel. Stones and plaque also form, which have a pathological effect on the gums. Inflammation and bleeding occurs. Inflammation from the gums spreads to the bone tissue, and it decreases in volume. Teeth lose support, become loose, and fall out. Therefore, it is important not to lead to such complications and contact the dentist on time.
How is professional hygiene performed?
Carrying out professional oral hygiene occurs in several stages.
- To begin with, the patient, doctor and assistant are prepared. Then the oral cavity is cleaned of hard dental deposits - these are stones. An ultrasonic scaler helps get rid of them. This device creates vibration that easily breaks all the stones.
ATTENTION! If you have a pacemaker, the use of ultrasound machines is not recommended! This may adversely affect the performance of the heart pacemaker.
- The next step is to clean the teeth from soft plaque using the AirFlow device. It works like a sandblaster. It delivers a mixture of cleaning powder and water under pressure. Abrasive particles of this composition remove soft and pigmented plaque from the enamel. Most often, the main active ingredient is soda; it cleans teeth very effectively and is completely safe. Glycine can also be used; it is more often taken for cleaning by children and people with an increased risk of allergies.
Thus, professional hygiene methods are: ultrasonic cleaning and cleaning with an AirFlow device.
After the manipulations, the doctor examines the oral cavity and cleans the interdental spaces, if necessary. After cleaning, carious cavities and other damage to the enamel are clearly visible, so the specialist can immediately tell which teeth exactly need therapeutic treatment.
- The next step is to polish all surfaces of the teeth. This is a very important part of the procedure! On a smooth polished surface, plaque settles much more slowly. This reduces the risk of caries.
- After cleaning, the enamel is remineralized. This is the saturation of the tooth with useful minerals, which strengthen the structure of hard tissues and also reduce increased sensitivity.
A full range of professional oral cleaning includes:
- Removing all types of plaque
- Teeth polishing
- Remineralizing therapy
Ultrasound removal of tartar
Hard deposits (tartar) form in the interdental spaces, on teeth in the gingival and subgingival areas. Tartar can lead to the development of diseases such as gingivitis, periodontitis or caries. The procedure is carried out with an ultrasonic scaler, which uses vibration to remove hard deposits from the surface of the tooth.
Cleaning is done using an ultrasonic scaler, which sends vibrations to the surface of the tooth. This technology is safe and painless. This is an excellent alternative to chemical or mechanical methods of removing dental plaque.
Cleaning for gum disease
Professional oral hygiene eliminates the main cause of inflammatory processes in the gum tissue - plaque. Thus, this procedure heals soft tissues. In the absence of stones and plaque, the gums restore their shape and function. Often, in cases of acute periodontitis or gingivitis, simple professional cleaning is sufficient to eliminate bleeding, pain and inflammation. Therefore, if you have acute or chronic gum disease, it is very important to visit your dentist regularly and maintain a good level of oral hygiene yourself.
Innovative new product!
The Swiss company EMS has released a new generation device, Air Flow Prophylaxis Master. He brought professional hygiene to an even higher level: ultrasonic cleaning became available to those with very sensitive enamel and patients with periodontitis. The new device is equipped with a nozzle for removing deposits under the gum - previously this procedure was not included in the standard list of professional hygiene procedures.
HOW OFTEN DO I CLEAN?
• Adults - once every 6-12 months. • Children with mixed dentition - every 3 months. • For those who wear braces - at intervals of 2-4 months. • For older people with dentures - every 4-5 months.
What is the difference between individual and professional oral hygiene?
Individual hygiene includes all home methods for caring for the oral cavity. This is daily brushing with a manual, electric, sonic or any other brush, using brushes, rinses, irrigator or dental floss. Daily care determines the level of oral hygiene.
Professional hygiene helps to cope with the problem of accelerated plaque formation and removes stones that cannot be removed at home. Therefore, visiting a dentist prevents the occurrence of many oral diseases.
Fluoridation or remineralization therapy
The final stage of professional dental hygiene is fluoridation and remotherapy.
The purpose of fluoridation is to strengthen tooth enamel by applying a product with a high fluoride content.
Remotherapy normalizes the mineral composition of the enamel, which increases its resistance to the acids found in the oral cavity.
These absolutely comfortable and painless procedures serve as an excellent prevention of caries and increased sensitivity of teeth. At your appointment, your dentist will recommend one way or another to strengthen your teeth.

“It would be happiness, but misfortune would help”... I lost a tooth, a crown on a pin, and decided to go to the clinic that I had dreamed of, but had put off visiting for a very long time. The road to treatment and recovery will be long. And I am very happy that my first appointment was with Olga Valentinovna Kogotko. Since she, no one has ever performed hygiene on me before, anywhere! In addition to the amazing result (my family and work colleagues immediately noticed brighter teeth, and this without bleaching), I want to note the affectionate, calm, non-critical attitude towards me. Having some practice of treatment in “fashionable” dentistry behind me, I realized how behind the times the technology in them is... My story in your clinic began with Olga Valentinovna and I was incredibly surprised by the high professionalism and ability to psychologically manage and calm the patient. And strangely enough, she taught me to just breathe during the no longer tiring procedure)) And I’m already waiting for the time to lie down in Olga Valentinovna’s chair again)) Bravo! And thanks to the sweet angel assistant! BELGRAVIA DENTAL STUDIO TEAM:

Recommendations after hygiene
After professional hygiene, it is recommended to adhere to several rules:
- Quit smoking for 1-2 days. Nicotine penetrates very deeply into the enamel, thereby giving an unpleasant yellow tint to the teeth. In the first two days after cleaning, the enamel is very susceptible to various pigments, so in order to maintain excellent results, bad habits must be abandoned.
- Limit the consumption of coloring products. White diet. Eating foods such as beets, carrots, tea, and coffee can lead to excessive pigment accumulation in the first days after visiting the dentist.
- Avoid eating aggressive foods. This category includes spicy, salty, hot and cold foods. Such irritating factors can provoke manifestations of increased sensitivity of teeth.
If you follow the recommendations, the result will last longer and there will be no side effects.
Vector Paro device
Another progressive technology in the field of dental hygiene belongs to the German company Durr Dental. The Vector Paro ultrasound device is designed to remove dental plaque under the gum, as well as for the prevention and treatment of periodontitis. Unlike conventional scalers, the tip oscillates here not horizontally, but vertically. Due to this, the risk of damage to the root surface is reduced to zero. The device does not use ordinary distilled water, but a mineral solution, which helps reduce tooth sensitivity after ultrasonic cleaning.
How much does the procedure cost?
The price of professional hygiene starts from 10,000 rubles. for a full range of hygiene procedures for both jaws. You can be confident in the quality and safety of the materials used at Dr. Lemberg's Dental Clinic. All manipulations are performed only by qualified specialists.
Oral hygiene is the most important aspect of oral care! Taking care of the cleanliness of your teeth means taking care of their health. A good level of hygiene and regular visits to the dentist can prevent many diseases at the earliest stages. The specialists at Dr. Lemberg Dental Clinic will take care of your smile and help you maintain healthy teeth!
