<\/figure>\n\nWhy is professional dental hygiene important?<\/h2>\n\n
Oral hygiene procedure is essential for maintaining oral health because tartar buildup can lead to various dental problems such as:<\/p>\n\n
- \n
- The role of scaling in preventing periodontal disease<\/strong><\/a>: Almost 47%<\/strong> of adults over the age of 30 suffer from this condition, which can cause tooth loss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Tooth decay<\/strong>: tartar covers tooth enamel, increasing the risk of cavities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
According to studies, 80% of the population<\/strong> develops tartar in the first 6 months after a professional cleaning. Regular scaling prevents it and keeps gums healthy. <\/p>\n\n
Important to remember<\/strong>: Accumulated tartar not only affects your smile aesthetically, but can cause gum inflammation<\/strong>, periodontal disease<\/strong> and even tooth loss<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n
Having your teeth cleaned at the dentist is the solution to prevent these problems and maintain proper oral hygiene.<\/p>\n\n
How does tartar form?<\/h2>\n\n
Pla plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, constantly forms on your teeth after every meal. It calcifies into tartar if not removed by daily brushing and flossing. <\/p>\n\n
In as little as 48 hours<\/strong>, plaque can start to harden, becoming solid tartar in a few weeks.<\/p>\n\n
This buildup not only affects oral health, but can also contribute to systemic problems, with links to conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.<\/p>\n\n
How often should you have your teeth professionally cleaned?<\/h2>\n\n
The frequency of scaling can vary from person to person, depending on oral health and personal hygiene habits. In general, I recommend at least twice a year<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n
For patients with a predisposition to tartar build-up or gum disease, more frequent scaling may be recommended.<\/p>\n\n

<\/figure>\n\nSigns that you need a root canal:<\/h3>\n\n
- \n
- Your gums bleed easily when you brush your teeth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You have constant bad breath, even after brushing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You notice staining or yellowing of your teeth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You feel a rough surface on your teeth, especially around the gumline.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Benefits of professional dental hygiene<\/h2>\n\n
Removing tartar deposits offers numerous oral health benefits, including:<\/p>\n\n
- \n
- Prevent gum disease<\/strong>: scaling reduces gum inflammation, decreasing the risk of gum recession.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Fresh breath<\/strong>: Removing tartar reduces the causes of halitosis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Improve the appearance of your teeth<\/strong>: the procedure helps remove stains caused by food and drink, such as coffee or red wine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Statistics suggest<\/strong> that patients who have regular scaling are 40% less likely<\/strong> to develop gum disease and 25% less likely to<\/strong> develop cavities<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
The risks of scaling<\/h3>\n\n
Although tartar removal is a safe and beneficial procedure, some patients may experience some temporary side effects:<\/p>\n\n
- \n
- Tooth sensitivity<\/strong>: Teeth may become temporarily sensitive to cold or hot foods and drinks. This sensitivity usually disappears within a few days. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Gingival irritation<\/strong>: Minor bleeding may occur after the procedure, especially with pre-existing inflammation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
However, the risks are minimal and the benefits far outweigh these minor inconveniences.<\/p>\n\n
Recommendations after cleaning tartar from teeth<\/h2>\n\n
After having your teeth cleaned at the dentist, it’s essential to follow a few rules to maintain the results and prevent tartar from reappearing:<\/p>\n\n
- \n
- Brush twice a day<\/strong> using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Floss daily<\/strong> to clean the spaces between your teeth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Rinse your mouth with antibacterial mouthwash<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Avoid highly pigmented foods and drinks<\/strong> for a few days to prevent tooth staining.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
Did you know…<\/h3>\n\n
- \n
- Removing dental tartar helps prevent heart disease<\/strong>: Proper oral hygiene, including regular scaling, can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by preventing bacteria in the mouth from entering the circulatory system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Procedure Time<\/strong>: The ultrasonic oral hygiene procedure generally takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the complexity of each case and the tartar buildup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Fresher breath<\/strong>: Detartration improves breathing as it removes bacteria responsible for halitosis and effectively cleans teeth and gums.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Patient comfort<\/strong>: Many patients find that the ultrasonic oral hygiene procedure is less painful than traditional methods due to the vibrations that help reduce discomfort.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Doctor’s tip<\/strong>: It’s recommended that people at high risk of tartar build-up have scaling more often, even three or four times a year.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
