Teeth cleaning and whitening
First: Cleaning teeth
Teeth cleaning is a process that aims to remove deposits, tartar and plaque accumulated on the teeth and gums. It is preferable to clean teeth periodically at the dentist’s clinic.
The importance of teeth cleaning:
Prevention of cavities: Removing plaque reduces the risk of tooth decay.
Gum health: Helps prevent gum diseases such as gingivitis.
Improving breath: Contributes to reducing bad breath.
Improving aesthetic appearance: Helps maintain clean and bright teeth.
Teeth cleaning steps:
Clinical examination: The dentist examines the teeth and gums to identify any potential problems.
Plaque and tartar removal: Special tools such as an ultrasound device and manual cleaning machines are used to remove plaque and tartar.
Teeth polishing: After removing tartar, the teeth are polished using a special paste and a rotating disc.
Final examination: The doctor examines the teeth again and provides oral care advice.
Second: Teeth whitening
Teeth whitening is a procedure that aims to improve the color of teeth and remove stains and discolorations. Teeth whitening is available in several ways.
Teeth whitening methods:
In-office whitening:
The dentist applies a bleaching gel containing hydrogen peroxide and uses a special light to speed up the process. It can give quick and effective results.
Home whitening:
