Scaling, Air-Polishing & Polish (Hygiene)

A professional hygiene visit removes hardened tartar and surface stains that brushing cannot reach. At Denta Mare the appointment combines ultrasonic scaling to break down calculus, air-polishing with a fine powder spray to lift staining from coffee, tea and tobacco, and a final polish — covering both upper and lower arches. Regular professional cleaning is associated with healthier gums and fresher breath, and gives the dentist a chance to spot early problems.

Even with good brushing and flossing, mineralised plaque (calculus or tartar) builds up over time, especially around the gumline and between teeth, where it can irritate the gums. A professional hygiene appointment removes this build-up and refreshes the teeth. At Denta Mare the visit at 350 zł combines three steps across both arches: ultrasonic scaling, which uses high-frequency vibration to break tartar away from the tooth surface; air-polishing (sandblasting), which directs a gentle jet of fine powder and water to lift stubborn staining from coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco; and a final mechanical polish to leave the surfaces smooth, which makes it harder for new plaque to adhere. Thorough, regular cleaning is associated with healthier gums, reduced bleeding and fresher breath, and helps maintain the results of other dental work such as crowns, veneers and implants. The appointment also doubles as a check-up opportunity: while cleaning, the clinician can note early signs of decay, gum inflammation or other issues so they can be addressed before they grow. Most adults benefit from a hygiene visit once or twice a year, though those prone to staining or gum problems may be advised to come more often. The treatment is comfortable and requires no recovery time; mild gum tenderness or sensitivity can occur briefly afterwards. The clinician will tailor home-care advice — brushing technique, interdental cleaning and product choices — to each patient's needs.
