Professional teeth cleaning

Daily teeth cleaning is a necessary but not sufficient condition for maintaining oral health. Even with regular care, the brush does not clean hard-to-reach areas – interdental spaces, subgingival areas, posterior surfaces of molars. This is where plaque accumulates, which over time turns into stone, provoking gingivitis, caries and bad breath.

Astra Dent provides full professional hygiene, which allows:

• to remove hard and soft plaque without pain;
• to lighten enamel by eliminating pigmentation;
• to reduce bacterial load;
• to maintain gum health and prevent periodontal problems;
• to improve the appearance of the smile.

The procedure is performed using certified materials and world-class equipment – Carl Zeiss microscopes, Seiler optics, premium materials, namely Dentsply, 3M, EMS. The cleaning itself takes no more than an hour.

At Astra Dent, professional hygiene is carried out by hygienists and dentists with extensive experience – an average of 25-30 years. The minimum work experience among the clinic’s specialists is 7 years. Specialists not only clean teeth qualitatively, but also give detailed recommendations for home care, taking into account the individual needs of the patient.

What is professional hygiene?

Professional hygiene is cleaning teeth with special devices in the dentist’s chair. At Astra Dent, the procedure lasts about an hour, but its effect is much longer.

The following are used:

• Ultrasound – removes tartar without pain;
• Air Flow – removes stains from coffee, tea and cigarettes;
• Hand tools – for delicate cleaning of hard-to-reach areas;
• Polishing – smoothes the enamel surface, reducing re-adhesion;
• Fluoride – strengthens enamel and reduces sensitivity.

This is not an alternative to a toothbrush, but a powerful addition. For a good effect, it is important to combine home care with professional care.

When should you make an appointment?

Astra Dent dentists recommend undergoing hygiene every six months. You should contact us unscheduled if:

• yellow or dark plaque has appeared;
• enamel has lost its shine;
• the interdental spaces are poorly cleaned;
• an unpleasant odor has appeared from the mouth;
• there is sensitivity or a change in taste.

Frequent visits to the hygienist are also necessary for smokers and those who regularly drink coffee or strong tea.

How is the procedure performed at Astra Dent?

Professional hygiene at Astra Dent is not just a cleaning, but a full-fledged preventive procedure that involves several consecutive stages. They allow not only to remove deposits, but also to strengthen the enamel, reduce sensitivity and ensure an aesthetic result.

Stages of the procedure:

1. Consultation and examination. Before starting hygienic cleaning, the doctor conducts an examination of the oral cavity. They assess the condition of the enamel, gums, the presence of plaque and tartar, and the level of tooth sensitivity. If necessary, a picture is taken or an additional examination is prescribed. At this stage, the type of powder for Air Flow (classic or with glycine) is also chosen, depending on individual characteristics.
2. Ultrasonic teeth cleaning. This stage involves removing hard plaque and tartar with an ultrasonic scaler. The device works with high precision and without harming the enamel. Ultrasound easily penetrates into the interdental spaces and the subgingival area, where a brush is powerless. The patient does not feel pain, only slight vibrations.
3. Treatment with the Air Flow device. After removing the stone, the teeth are cleaned of pigments (stains from coffee, tea, tobacco) using the Air Flow device. It delivers a jet of water, air and powder under pressure. At Astra Dent, you can choose a classic cleaning powder or a soft one – with glycine, recommended for sensitive gums. This stage makes the enamel lighter and more uniform in color.
4. Enamel polishing. The dentist polishes each tooth with special brushes and pastes. This not only gives it shine, but also smoothes the surface of the enamel. Thanks to this, plaque and bacteria accumulate less in the future. Polishing is a mandatory final stage after Air Flow.
5. Fluoridation. At the end of the procedure, the enamel is treated with a varnish or gel containing fluoride. This strengthens its structure, helps reduce sensitivity after brushing, and also protects the teeth from the effects of acids and bacteria. Astra Dent uses high-quality fluoride products with a safe composition and a pleasant taste.

How to care for your teeth at home?

At Astra Dent, doctors not only treat, but also teach you how to properly care for your teeth. Here is a basic set:

• A brush – selected depending on the sensitivity and condition of the gums;
• A paste – therapeutic, gel, whitening – is selected individually;
• Floss or brushes – for cleaning between the teeth;
• A mouthwash – reduces the number of bacteria and freshens breath.

And most importantly – do not miss preventive examinations and hygienic cleanings.

Indications and contraindications

Astra Dent recommends undergoing hygiene at least once every six months. But there are situations when the procedure is needed earlier. Main indications:

• Dental tartar. Hard deposits not only spoil the appearance of the teeth, but also cause inflammation of the gums, bleeding, and an unpleasant odor. It is impossible to remove them yourself.
• Soft plaque. Light or yellowish plaque is a buildup of bacteria. Over time, it hardens and provokes caries, gingivitis, and darkening of the enamel.
• Enamel pigmentation. Stains from coffee, tea, tobacco, and red wine. Air Flow allows us to effectively remove them without harming the enamel.
• Bad breath. The odor may indicate the presence of microbial plaque or gum disease. Professional hygiene is the first step to solving the problem.
• Preparation for orthodontic, therapeutic, or surgical treatment. Before installing braces, implants, dentures or fillings, the surface must be cleaned of plaque and tartar.

When is it better to postpone the procedure?

In some cases, professional teeth cleaning is temporarily not performed. Main contraindications:

• Acute infectious diseases. SARS, flu, sore throat – the procedure is postponed to avoid the spread of infection and additional burden on the body.
• Allergy to drug components. Astra Dent always specifies whether the patient is allergic to fluoride, glycine or other substances. If necessary, alternative means are selected or cleaning tactics are changed.

How much does professional teeth cleaning cost at Astra Dent?

At Astra Dent, standard professional hygiene of both jaws involves three stages – ultrasound, Air Flow and polishing. The cost starts from 2280 UAH. If the teeth are sensitive or the gums are inflamed, use soft Air Flow powder with glycine. This is more comfortable, but a little more expensive. If some stage is not needed – the cost is lower.
