Are you going to get a DENTAL CLEANING? This is what you need to know about TARTRECTOMY | Dentalk! ©

The treatment carried out by the dentist or hygienist to eliminate tartar and bacterial plaque deposits around a patient's teeth is known as dental cleaning, tartarectomy or periodontal prophylaxis. Here we tell you everything about this procedure.
0) Introduction 00:00.
We talk about dental cleaning or tartrectomy in this Dentalk from Clínica Médico Dental Pardiñas (j.mp/cPardinas).
1) What is dental cleaning? 00:17.
A professional oral cleaning is a treatment that serves to remove most of the bacterial plaque and tartar that accumulate on the teeth and around and under the gums.
1a) What is dental plaque? 00:45.
Dental plaque is that yellowish-white substance that is deposited on the teeth and gums when we do not brush properly. It can be easily removed with brushing, flossing, interdental brushes, and irrigators.
1b) What is dental tartar? 01:11.
Dental tartar is the substance that appears when plaque is not removed in time and ends up calcifying. Only professional dental cleaning is capable of removing this substance 👉 • DIENTES con SARRO - CÓ... .
2) Objectives of tartectomy 01:29.
Bacterial plaque and dental tartar are responsible for two major oral health problems: periodontal disease and cavities, the two leading causes of tooth loss.
3) How is a tartrectomy performed? 03:03.
It is performed with an ultrasound device whose vibration causes tartar to be removed from the surface of the tooth without scratching the enamel. The curette is also used and is usually complemented with the use of mechanical brushes with polishing pastes and/or the use of a bicarbonate jet to remove surface stains.
3a) Who does it? 03:48.
The dental hygienist.
3b) How often is it advisable to do it? 04:05.
Under normal conditions, it is usually done once a year, although there are patients who barely need it. On the contrary, if we detect that a patient is beginning to develop periodontitis, it may be necessary to do it every six months.
3c) Is it bad to do a lot of cleaning? 04:45.
Absolutely. Properly used ultrasounds do not wear down the teeth.
4) Does it hurt to receive a professional oral cleaning? 05:21.
Despite being a common concern for patients, oral cleanings DO NOT hurt, although the vibrations can be somewhat uncomfortable and even cause some teething.
4a) Is anesthesia necessary to perform a tartrectomy? 05:44.
Under normal conditions NO. However, in patients with hypersensitivity it may be necessary
4b) Does periodontal prophylaxis cause sensitivity? 06:13.
In some situations, after tartar removal, there may be a slight sensitivity that normally decreases until it disappears after a few days • ¿Dientes sensibles? - ... .
5) Can it be performed on patients with veneers, crowns and/or fillings? 07:07.
Of course. The hygienist will carefully treat those margins of union between the restorative material, tooth and gum.
5a) How is tartrectomy performed in patients with implants? 07:22.
Tartrectomy helps both prevent periodontal disease and any complications with implants. It is essential to be careful not to scratch the surface, for which special Teflon tips are used.
6) Types of prophylaxis 08:25.
It is important to be clear about the difference between “common” dental prophylaxis and other types of cleanings. In summary, we can say that tartrectomy is performed in a mouth without active periodontal disease and scaling and curettage is performed when there is already periodontitis, although common prophylaxis can also be performed in a mouth treated for periodontitis as maintenance to prevent the progression of said disease. 👉 • ¿Qué es la PERIODONTIT... .
7) Is oral cleaning the same as teeth whitening? 10:07.
No, the goal of prophylaxis is the removal of plaque and tartar. For its part, the objective of whitening is to return the tooth to its natural color 👉 • Cómo BLANQUEAR LOS DIE... .
