Hygiene

Professional dental cleaning - ultrasound, AirFlow, polishing

A complete hygiene protocol that removes soft plaque and tartar above and below the gumline, refreshes breath, and prevents caries and gum disease.

What is professional cleaning

Ultrasound: removes hard tartar and large deposits, including from hard-to-reach areas.
AirFlow (glycine powder): gently lifts biofilm and pigment without scratching enamel or irritating braces.
Polishing: smooths micro-roughness to slow down new plaque build-up.
Fluoridation on demand: strengthens enamel and reduces sensitivity.

Prevents gingivitis and periodontitis - removes bacterial biofilm, the key risk factor.
Reduces caries risk - plaque and tartar trap acids and bacteria.
Improves breath and aesthetics - removes pigment and roughness.
Safe with orthodontics and implants - AirFlow is gentle for brackets and abutments.

Consult & disclosing
Quick check-up, plaque disclosure to show accumulation areas and tailor hygiene.
Ultrasound
Removing tartar and calculus above/below the gumline with gentle settings.
AirFlow
Biofilm & pigment removal with low-abrasive powder, including around braces/implants.
Polishing
Finishing with soft rubber cups and low-abrasive paste to smooth enamel.
Fluoride (optional)
Fluoride varnish/gel for sensitivity and caries prevention.
Home care tips
Personalized brushing/floss/interdental routine and recall interval.

Comfort & microscope control

We use gentle settings; complex cases are checked under magnification.

Safe for braces & restorations

Glycine powder doesn’t scratch enamel, ceramics or composites.

How often should I get professional cleaning?

Every 6 months for most adults. With braces, implants or periodontal risks - every 3–4 months.

Is it painful?

Usually no. With sensitivity we use warm water, adjusted power, and topical anesthesia if needed.

AirFlow vs. ultrasound - what’s the difference?

Ultrasound breaks hard calculus; AirFlow removes biofilm and surface stains from enamel and around orthodontic or implant parts.

Any restrictions after the procedure?

For 2–3 hours avoid strong dyes (coffee, red wine, berries). Keep your routine hygiene and follow your dentist’s tips.

How long does professional cleaning take?

Typically 45–60 minutes for a standard case. Complex tartar or orthodontic appliances may extend the visit.

Is cleaning safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

Yes, professional hygiene is safe and recommended. We avoid X-rays unless absolutely necessary and use gentle settings.

Can I combine cleaning with whitening the same day?

Often yes. Whitening works best right after cleaning, but the doctor will confirm based on sensitivity and enamel condition.

Will I feel sensitivity after cleaning?

Mild short-term sensitivity is possible. We can apply fluoride varnish and recommend sensitive-care toothpaste to minimize it.

Is the procedure safe with braces, veneers or implants?

Yes. Glycine AirFlow is gentle to enamel, ceramics and composites, and safe around brackets, retainers and implant abutments.

How do I maintain results at home?

Use a soft brush with proper technique, floss or interdental brushes daily, and a low-abrasive paste. Replace brush heads every 3 months.
