Scaling & Dental Hygiene

A professional cleaning that removes hardened tartar and surface staining that brushing cannot, then polishes and strengthens the teeth. The clinic's combined package pairs ultrasonic scaling with air-polishing to lift coffee, tea and tobacco stains, finished with a fluoride application. Regular hygiene visits are associated with healthier gums and fresher breath, and the hygienist also advises on home-care technique tailored to your mouth.

Professional dental hygiene at Medin Stomatologia combines several steps into one appointment with the practice's dental hygienist. Ultrasonic scaling removes calcified tartar (calculus) from above and around the gum line where a toothbrush cannot reach, and air-polishing — sometimes called sandblasting — uses a fine jet of powder and water to lift built-up stains from coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco. The teeth are then polished smooth and a fluoride varnish is applied to help strengthen the enamel surface. The clinic offers the steps individually or as a discounted package, and the hygienist tailors the visit to the condition of your gums, working more gently around sensitive or inflamed areas. Removing plaque and tartar is associated with healthier gums and is a routine part of keeping teeth and existing restorations in good condition; the appointment also includes practical advice on brushing and interdental cleaning suited to your mouth. Most people have professional hygiene once or twice a year, though the hygienist may suggest a different interval depending on your gum health and how quickly tartar builds up. The treatment is suitable for adults and is a sensible first step before whitening or restorative work. Mild gum tenderness or temporary sensitivity for a day or two is normal.
