Professional oral hygiene in Warsaw – cleanliness, freshness, healthy teeth
Professional oral hygiene complements home care where brushing and flossing are powerless. Even with twice-daily brushing, a microbial film (biofilm) remains on the enamel, which gradually mineralizes and forms tartar. It accumulates in the cervical area, between the teeth and under the gums. Deposits provoke caries in the root area, chronic inflammation of the gums (gingivitis, periodontitis) and bad breath that does not disappear after toothpaste or mouthwash.
Certified Astra Dent specialists perform professional teeth cleaning using safe ultrasound and Air Flow polishing systems. Removal of soft plaque and tartar is combined with gum treatment, enamel remineralization and individual care recommendations. The procedure takes an average of 40-60 minutes and allows us to detect hidden caries before symptoms appear.
Regular hygiene every 6 months in a clinical setting reduces the risk of tooth loss due to periodontitis and improves the aesthetics of your smile. All procedures at Astra Dent are performed using sterile tips, gentle AirFlow tooth brushing modes and European protocols (ESCD). After the procedure, the patient receives a clear report on the condition of the oral cavity and understands how to maintain the result at home.
Why do patients choose Astra Dent Warsaw for hygiene?
Dental hygiene at a dentist is a clinical stage that affects the health of teeth and gums. According to epidemiological estimates, more than 70% of the Polish population has signs of periodontal inflammation, and the most common cause is the accumulation of plaque and tartar. It is important to undergo hygienic cleaning in medical institutions that use methods that are safe for enamel, mucous membranes and systemic health.
Advantages of oral hygiene at Astra Dent:
- Experienced hygienists. The team of the dental center includes certified specialists with medical education and practice of at least 5 years, who have taken courses in the best institutions in Europe.
- Modern equipment (AirFlow Prophylaxis Master). Manipulations are carried out using new generation devices that combine sandblasting, ultrasound and polishing for delicate removal of biofilm even from the subgingival area.
- A caring approach to the patient. The specialist conducts a clinical examination, collects medical data, determines the hygiene index and explains the sequence of actions to adapt it to the patient’s level of sensitivity.
- Safe methods for children, pregnant women, patients with chronic diseases. Hygiene is carried out taking into account medical restrictions: hypoallergenic powders with neutral pH are used, the water temperature is regulated, a mode with minimal pressure is selected.
- Preliminary consultation with an individual care plan. Before the procedure, the hygienist creates a personalized program that takes into account the patient’s needs, enamel type, and risks of gum recession (recession).
The price of professional dental hygiene depends on the complexity of the plaque, the number of teeth, additional procedures (polishing, fluoridation) and is calculated immediately after the initial examination. Astra Dent has a flexible payment system and offers favorable offers for new patients.
What is included in comprehensive hygiene at Astra Dent Warsaw?
Comprehensive dental hygiene covers risk areas and takes into account the condition of the oral cavity. Astra Dent dentists use certified instruments in compliance with safety and sterility standards.
How is scaling performed?
The procedure for removing tartar in Warsaw is performed using an ultrasonic scaler with an adjustable oscillation frequency. It involves several stages:
- Examination and diagnostics. The volume of the stone and the depth of the periodontal pockets are determined, a treatment plan is drawn up.
- Ultrasonic scaler removal. The scaler attachment vibrates at a frequency of more than 20,000 oscillations per second, destroying mineralized deposits without overheating the enamel.
- Irrigation with saline solution. Simultaneously with cleaning, cooling and removal of plaque particles occur.
- Final polishing. The teeth are polished with special pastes to prevent plaque from re-fixing.
- Antiseptic treatment. In case of inflammation, antiseptics based on chlorhexidine or essential oils are used.
Tooth scaling is performed in 1 or 2 visits depending on the clinical situation. Local anesthesia is provided for patients with increased sensitivity.
What is AirFlow and how is the procedure performed?
The AirFlow method is used to gently clean the enamel from pigment plaque, food debris, biofilm and bacteria that cannot be removed with a brush. This is the final stage of professional hygiene, which allows you to achieve a smooth tooth surface and natural shine.
The technology involves the following stages:
- Preparation of the oral cavity. The doctor assesses the level of staining and the presence of areas of hyperesthesia – increased sensitivity of the teeth to cold, hot, sweet.
- Cleaning the enamel with an air-water stream. A mixture of warm water, air and powder (glycine or erythritol) is applied to the enamel under pressure.
- Treatment of hard-to-reach areas. For example, areas near orthopedic structures, gums or lateral surfaces of the tongue.
- Rinsing and control. After cleaning, the oral cavity is treated with an antiseptic, after which the doctor checks the uniformity of the result.
Fluoridation of teeth to strengthen enamel after cleaning
After completing hygiene, tooth enamel becomes more vulnerable to the effects of acids and bacteria. To reduce the risk of caries and increase mineralization, tooth fluoridation is performed:
- Enamel condition assessment. The doctor identifies areas of demineralization and initial signs of caries in the cervical area.
- Selection of the product. Fluoride varnishes, gels and foams with a sodium fluoride concentration of 0.23% to 5% are used for patients with different sensitivities and ages.
- Application of the product. The surface of the teeth is isolated, dried and treated with a fluoride composition using a brush or mouth guard.
- Waiting. The product remains on the enamel for 1-4 minutes, depending on the form and composition.
- Recommendations after the procedure. You should not drink, eat or rinse your mouth for the next 30 minutes.
Fluoridation is recommended not only for children, but also for adults with an increased risk of developing caries. This is a simple but effective prevention of dental problems that should not be ignored.
How long does professional hygiene at Astra Dent last?
The time required for the procedure is determined individually. The doctor focuses on the clinical situation, the density of tartar and the sensitivity of the mucous membrane. Several factors influence the duration:
- The number and density of deposits. The more tartar and pigment plaque, the longer scaling and AirFlow last.
- The condition of the gums. In case of inflammation, the doctor works more delicately so as not to provoke discomfort.
- Individual hygiene index. The volume of intervention is determined by its results.
- Enamel sensitivity. If the patient has hyperesthesia, the dentist reduces the intensity of the effect, chooses a soft powder or isolates vulnerable areas.
On average, comprehensive hygiene lasts from 30 to 60 minutes. After the examination, the doctor warns how long the session will last, and if necessary, divides the procedure into two stages.
Benefits of regular hygiene
Professional cleaning in a dental office is the prevention of inflammatory diseases, complications after implantation and premature tooth loss. Patients who undergo hygiene every 6 months have a lower risk of developing periodontitis and caries.
Regular prevention guarantees a comprehensive effect:
- Fresh breath. Removal of soft plaque and subgingival deposits eliminates the main source of unpleasant odor.
- Healthy gums. Hygiene reduces inflammation, bleeding, the risk of developing gingivitis and periodontitis.
- White teeth without bleaching. AirFlow removes pigment plaque and returns the natural color of enamel without aggressive effects.
- Less need for treatment. Early detection of problems and reduction of bacterial load avoid fillings and periodontal intervention.
- Safety for enamel and prostheses/implants/braces. Modern cleaning methods do not harm the structures and are recommended for patients with orthodontic systems.
Each stage at Astra Dent is selected taking into account the condition of the oral cavity, the type of fillings, the presence of restorations and sensitivity. Thanks to this, patients can count on a long-term therapeutic and preventive effect.
