Dental Hygiene (Scaling & Sandblasting)

A professional hygiene appointment removes hardened tartar and surface stains that brushing cannot, helping to prevent gum disease and decay. Stomatologia Chrobrego combines ultrasonic scaling with air-sandblasting to clean above and below the gum line and polish away stains from coffee, tea and tobacco, with an optional fluoride varnish to strengthen the enamel. It is also the recommended first step before whitening.

Professional dental hygiene, sometimes called a scale and polish, is the removal of plaque, hardened tartar (calculus) and external staining from the teeth. Even with good brushing, mineralised deposits build up over time — especially around the gum line and between the teeth — and these harbour bacteria that drive gum inflammation, bad breath and decay. Regular hygiene visits are associated with healthier gums and catching problems early. At Stomatologia Chrobrego the appointment combines two methods. Ultrasonic scaling uses fine high-frequency vibrations to break tartar away from the tooth surface and just below the gum, while sandblasting (air-polishing) directs a gentle jet of fine powder and water to lift stubborn stains from coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco, leaving the teeth visibly cleaner and smoother. A fluoride varnish can be applied afterwards to help remineralise the enamel and reduce sensitivity, and the clinic offers a combined package of scaling, sandblasting and fluoride. The hygienist or dentist also points out areas that are difficult to clean at home and gives tailored advice on brushing and interdental cleaning. A hygiene visit is recommended every six to twelve months, and is the usual first step before teeth whitening so the result is even. The treatment is comfortable, requires no anaesthetic in most cases, and has no downtime.
