Professional dental cleaning
Removal of dental deposits to complement daily oral hygiene. Gum health and the need for separate periodontal treatment are assessed before the scope of cleaning is chosen.
About Service
Plaque is associated with bacterial activity, while mineralised deposits, or tartar, cannot be removed with an ordinary toothbrush. Professional care removes these deposits and provides an opportunity to discuss home care.
Bleeding gums can indicate inflammation. In periodontitis, superficial cleaning alone is insufficient; a diagnosis and a periodontal treatment plan are needed. The interval between visits is based on tissue health and individual risk.
What the treatment or procedure involves
- Assessment of plaque, tartar and gum health.
- Professional removal of deposits using the selected method.
- Home-care advice and an individual review interval.
Indications
- Tartar and plaque requiring professional removal.
- Biofilm control as part of an agreed care plan.
- Home-care advice after assessment of bleeding gums.
Contraindications
- The method and scope are adapted to tissue health; pain or bleeding calls for assessment rather than automatic cancellation of care.
- Cleaning must not replace necessary periodontal treatment when periodontitis is present.
Advantages
- Removal of deposits that ordinary home cleaning cannot remove.
- Support for plaque control and gum care.
