Scaling as a Type of Professional Ultrasonic Teeth Cleaning
The main stage of professional cleaning – is carried out with the help of an ultrasonic nozzle, which has a tip that vibrates at a particular frequency; the tip has a water supply and forms bubbles in cavitation. Thus, water under pressure displaces tartar and plaque. The tooth surface remains undamaged. The range of nozzles allows you to choose the best option for the morphotype (structure) of the gum. Ultrasonic teeth cleaning may be accompanied by tooth sensitivity; local anaesthesia is applied if necessary.
After ultrasonic cleaning, detecting hidden caries, determining their clear boundaries, and providing access to work in periodontal pockets is possible.
Cleaning with ultrasound is safe for the patient. It is carried out with abundant irrigation with distilled water or special disinfectant solutions, which allows additional cooling of the tooth tissue from the work of the nozzle.
Teeth cleaning is an excellent prevention of oral diseases such as tooth decay, symptoms of gum inflammation, bad breath, and bacterial growth on teeth and mucous membranes.
The frequency of the procedure depends on the rate of tartar accumulation.
