HYGIENISATION

A standard procedure before every dental treatment is a professional hygienisation of the oral cavity, i.e. removal of tartar and bacterial plaque, performed by qualified dental hygienists.

Tartar is formed as a result of mineralisation of the dental plaque. It is a hard, usually yellow deposit covering the surface of teeth. Collection of dental plaque, which turns into tartar due to the mineral compounds in the saliva, is increased by improper or disturbed dental hygiene, dental crowding, rough surface of the fillings, permanent braces, and diet rich in soft foods containing simple sugars.

The hygienisation procedures offered by Biała Szuflada include: scaling, i.e. tartar removal with the use of special, ultrasound devices:

• Polishing – after the tartar has been removed, the teeth are polished, using special paste, brushes and rubber
• Sandblasting consists in removing discolourations and sediment, e.g. due to coffee, tea or tobacco, with the use of a sandblaster. The device creates a jet of water under pressure, which is combined with a chemical agent in the form of powder (so-called sand), and easily penetrates the interdental spaces.
