Professional Dental Hygiene (Scaling & Airflow)

A professional cleaning that removes hardened tartar and soft plaque the toothbrush cannot reach, leaving teeth smoother and gums healthier. At Salvus IDC the session combines ultrasonic scaling with air-polishing to lift surface stains from coffee, tea and smoking, finishing with a polish. Smaller and larger sessions are priced according to the amount of deposit, and combined packages bundle scaling and stain removal for routine maintenance.

Professional dental hygiene at Salvus IDC is the cornerstone of preventive care, clearing away the hardened calculus and bacterial plaque that build up over time and that ordinary brushing and flossing leave behind. The hygienist begins with ultrasonic scaling to break up and remove tartar from the tooth surfaces and along the gum margin, then uses air-polishing — a fine jet of water, air and gentle powder — to lift discolouration left by coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco. A final polish smooths the enamel so plaque is slower to re-form. Regular hygiene visits are associated with healthier gums and fresher breath, and they give the dentist a chance to spot early changes before they become painful or costly. The clinic prices sessions by the amount of deposit present, with smaller and larger options, and offers combined packages that bundle scaling with air-polishing for patients on a routine recall. Most people find the appointment comfortable and leave with noticeably cleaner, smoother-feeling teeth; the hygienist will also tailor brushing and interdental-cleaning advice to your mouth. For international patients, a hygiene visit pairs naturally with a first-visit diagnosis as a sensible reset at the start of a course of treatment, and most patients benefit from a professional clean every six to twelve months.
