Professional Teeth Cleaning

Professional Teeth Cleaning in Antalya: The Foundation of Oral Health

A truly healthy and beautiful smile begins with a commitment to preventive care. While daily brushing and flossing are essential, they are not enough to remove hardened plaque deposits known as tartar (or calculus). Professional teeth cleaning is an essential part of any effective oral hygiene routine, designed to thoroughly clean your teeth in ways that home care simply cannot. At our clinic in Antalya, we view professional cleaning as the cornerstone of dental wellness and the perfect foundation for any cosmetic or restorative work.

Why is Professional Teeth Cleaning So Important?

Regular professional cleanings go far beyond just polishing your teeth; they are a vital healthcare procedure with significant benefits.

• Prevents Cavities: Tartar is a hardened, porous substance that is a perfect breeding ground for decay-causing bacteria. By removing this tartar, we significantly reduce your risk of developing cavities.
• Stops Gum Disease in Its Tracks: Removing plaque and tartar from along and below the gum line is the number one way to prevent gingivitis (the early stage of gum disease) and stop it from progressing to severe periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss.
• Removes Stubborn Stains: Our cleaning techniques effectively remove surface stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco, resulting in a noticeably brighter and more confident smile.
• Detects Early Problems: Your cleaning appointment is a crucial opportunity for our dental professionals to screen for the early signs of serious issues, such as cavities, gum disease, broken fillings, or even oral cancer. Early detection makes treatment simpler and more successful.

Our Professional Teeth Cleaning Process: A Step-by-Step Guide

We use modern technology to ensure your cleaning is both thorough and comfortable.

1. Step 1 - Examination: Our skilled dental hygienist will begin with a careful visual examination of your teeth and gums to assess their current health.
2. Step 2 - Scaling: This is the core of the cleaning process. We use an advanced ultrasonic scaler, which uses gentle vibrations and a water jet to efficiently break up and wash away larger tartar deposits. This is followed by the use of fine hand instruments to meticulously remove any remaining tartar from every surface of each tooth.
3. Step 3 - Polishing: Once your teeth are completely tartar-free, they are polished with a professional-grade paste using a special rotating tool. This procedure removes any remaining surface stains and makes your tooth surfaces smooth, which helps prevent new plaque from sticking to them.
4. Step 4 - Flossing & Final Rinse: We finish with a professional flossing to clean the areas between your teeth, followed by a final rinse, leaving your mouth feeling exceptionally clean and fresh.
