Teeth Cleaning (Detartrage)

Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is essential for a healthy and beautiful smile. At Wellness World Clinic, we offer professional teeth cleaning, also known as detartrage, as part of our comprehensive dental care services. This preventive treatment is crucial for removing plaque, tartar, and stains, helping you maintain optimal oral health.

What is Teeth Cleaning (Detartrage)?

Teeth cleaning, or detartrage, is a dental procedure that involves the removal of plaque and tartar (calculus) from the teeth and gum line. Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on the teeth and can harden into tartar if not removed. Tartar buildup can lead to gum disease, cavities, and other oral health issues. Detartrage is an effective way to prevent these problems and maintain a clean and healthy mouth.

The Benefits of Professional Teeth Cleaning

  1. Prevention of Gum Disease: Regular teeth cleaning helps prevent gingivitis, an early stage of gum disease characterized by red, swollen gums that may bleed. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, a more serious condition that can lead to tooth loss.

  2. Cavity Prevention: Plaque contains bacteria that produce acids, which can erode tooth enamel and cause cavities. Professional cleaning removes plaque and tartar, reducing the risk of tooth decay.

  3. Fresher Breath: Bad breath, or halitosis, is often caused by plaque and tartar buildup. Teeth cleaning removes these deposits, helping you maintain fresh breath and a healthy mouth.

  4. Improved Oral Health: Regular dental cleanings are an essential part of maintaining good oral health. They help prevent a variety of dental issues and support the overall health of your teeth and gums.

  5. Enhanced Aesthetics: Teeth cleaning also helps remove surface stains caused by coffee, tea, smoking, and other factors, leaving your teeth looking cleaner and brighter.

What to Expect During a Teeth Cleaning Appointment

At Wellness World Clinic, our skilled dental hygienists perform teeth cleaning with the utmost care and precision. The process typically includes the following steps:

  1. Examination: Before the cleaning begins, our dental professionals will examine your mouth to assess your oral health and identify any areas of concern.

  2. Scaling: Using specialized tools, the hygienist will remove plaque and tartar from the teeth surfaces and along the gum line. This process, known as scaling, helps prevent gum disease and tooth decay.

  3. Polishing: After scaling, your teeth will be polished to remove surface stains and smooth the tooth surfaces. This step helps reduce plaque buildup and leaves your teeth feeling clean and smooth.

  4. Fluoride Treatment (Optional): In some cases, a fluoride treatment may be recommended to strengthen the teeth and protect against cavities.
