Teeth calculus removal - professional tretament in Dentus perfectus dental office

Teeth Calculus Removal

Professional teeth cleaning helps to maintain healthy teeth and smile!

In Dentus perfectus dental office we do it in 3 steps – calculus removal, sandblasting and teeth polishing. Teeth calculus is often manifested as dark or yellowish spots on the surface of your teeth that can’t be removed. We have you covered. Visit us for successful solution and tips how to slow down its formation.

What is a dental plaque?

Dentobacterial plaque is a gelatinous mass made up of sediment of living and non-living organisms from food debris. Dental plaque loves uneven surfaces and adheres firmly to the tooth wall. If not removed it is hardening into teeth calculus. With regular treatments, ensure the most favorable oral flora for healthy teeth. We distinguish supragingival and subgingival dental plaque, depending where it arises.

What does teeth calculus do to your gums?

Not removing teeth calculus can lead to the inflammation of the gums. You will recognize it by the swollen, red and painful gums. If not treated it leads to periodontal disease. Moreover, it leads to caries formation and greater health problems.

Why is teeth calculus dangerous?

It contains large amounts of bacteria that produce many acids. This disrupts the structure of the tooth enamel which can lead to the formation of cavities. Over time, the gums become inflamed, which become swollen, red and painful to the touch. 

How is teeth calculus formed?

Teeth calculus together with bacteria is weakening enamel and starting cavities. If not removed, it first triggers gum inflammation (gingivitis) and below the gumline is destroying the supporting bone. This bone loss makes gums recede, teeth appear longer, and eventually loosen—until advanced gum disease (periodontitis).

How to reduce teeth calculus?

Calculus is a product of teeth plaque due to mixed proteins and leftover food. Everybody has teeth calculus; you just need to brush your teeth and do your check-ups regularly. In that way although you cannot avoid it, you can slower it down and reduce it.

How can patients stop it?

Professional hygiene in Dentus perfectus dental practice removes the calculus and helps to reduce its formation. After the treatment surface of the teeth becomes smooth and less susceptible to the calculus formation. With good hygiene at home and regular check-ups with our dentist we can get it under control and stop its formation.

What is professional dental hygiene?

3 steps: teeth calculus removal, sandblasting and teeth polishing.

  1. Teeth calculus removal

Dental calculus removal includes the removal of stubborn dental plaque in the oral cavity that can only be removed by dentist or dental hygienist. The treatment leaves smooth and shiny surfaces of the tooth walls. Smooth surfaces are less prone to the reaccumulation of dental deposits. Removing tartar is completely safe and does not damage the tooth surfaces. It is especially recommended for smokers and consumers of coffee, tea and other colored drinks (red wine, blueberry juice, etc.).

2. Sandblasting

Sandblasting is a method of professional cleaning of tooth surface with a high-pressure jet of water and powder. It is performed using a special device – a sandblaster. The powder consists of small particles of special agents in fruity flavors. The powder particles are round in shape. Their shape allows for the creation of high kinetic energy of the particles, which in contact with the tooth create a large contact surface.

Professional treatments quickly and painlessly remove plaque, tartar and stains from coffee, tea, or smoking that patients cannot remove by toothbrushing alone. It helps with keeping your smile naturally bright between yearly whitening sessions—no need to abandon your favourite habits.

3. Teeth polishing

Tooth polishing smoothens the surfaces of the tooth to make it less susceptible to tartar. We cannot prevent the formation of plaque but with good hygiene and regular and timely removal we can keep it under control. We can effectively prevent the development of periodontal disease and preserve your healthy smile.

What are the benefits of removing teeth calculus?

  • Protects the enamel

    stripping away tartar from the tooth and gingiva protects teeth in time from acid-producing bacteria and is lowering the risk of cavities.

  • Keeps gums healthy

    without the rough bacteriacovering gums, gums are less likely to become red, swollen or tender.

  • Stops bleeding

    eliminating tartar often ends the first sign of periodontal disease and that is bleeding gums.

  • Prevents bone loss

     timely removal heals the infection before it evolves and dissolves supporting jawbone of the teeth.

  • Maintains tooth stability

    healthy bone and ligaments keep teeth firm, preventing them from the looseness.

  • Improves breath

    a smooth surface is easier to resist tartar, resulting in fresher breath and better oral health.

What Happens During a Professional Teeth Cleaning?

In Dentus perfectus dental office, ultrasonic and sonic stone removal devices (KaVo SONICflex 2008L and KaVo PIEZOlux) are used to remove calculus. When necessary we use manual scrapers as well. Followed by sandblasting and polishing the surfaces of the teeth with professional pastes. The estimated duration of the procedure is 20 to 40 minutes. Regular professional oral hygiene has many advantages and is used prior to every dental procedure.

On which surfaces of the teeth does teeth calculus typically accumulate?

Teeth calculus is guilty of cavities and gum disease. It collects along gum lines, at tooth necks, beneath contact points of two teeth, inside fissures, on cheek-side surfaces, and between teeth. Thorough daily cleaning at home and regular professional hygiene in dental clinic can keep plaque and its bacteria in check and preserve a healthy oral flora.

What are the consequences of the periodontal disease?

The initial inflammation starts as bleeding gums during normal brushing. Bleeding is the first symptom of periodontal disease. If the tartar is not completely removed at this stage, the inflammation can go deeper into the gums and affect the periodontal bone, which then dissolves and recedes. The teeth begin to look visually longer and begin to wobble.

How to maintain healthy smile?

  • Clean your teeth 3 times a day for 2-3 minutes.
  • Electric tooth brushes are more efficient in cleaning tooth plaque that regular ones. We recommend Megasonex ultrasound electric tooth brush.
  • Once a day clean interdental place with floss or interdental brush, oral shower. That is only way to properly clean space between teeth.
  • For 1 minute a day use mouthwash that does not contain alcohol.
  • Repeat professional cleaning procedure 1-2 times a year.

This professional treatment should be done before any dental repairs and treatments. It reduces the risk of intraoperative contamination and infection during dental treatments. Moreover it creates sterile working field for a dentist. As a result patient is left with healthy oral flora, no risk of inflammatory process. It can also prolong the teeth and gum health. The best part is thet it can extend the life of teeth and dental restorations – tooth fillings, dental prosthetics and dental implants.
