Regular professional oral hygiene treatments, combined with the correct brushing technique and good home care, can help you keep your natural teeth healthy for as long as possible.
Why Is Tartar Removal Important?
Tartar is not merely an aesthetic problem.
If it is not removed regularly, it can contribute to gum inflammation and periodontal disease and, in advanced cases, even tooth loss.
When Should You Consider Professional Cleaning?
Professional tartar removal is particularly recommended if:
- Your last professional cleaning was more than six months ago
- You can see yellow or brown deposits around the gum line
- The tooth surface feels rough near the gums
- Your gums are red, swollen or sensitive
- Your gums bleed when brushing
- You experience persistent bad breath
How Does Ultrasonic Tartar Removal Work?
An ultrasonic scaler removes hardened deposits safely and efficiently using high-frequency vibration and water.
After tartar removal, the teeth are professionally polished to leave their surfaces smoother and cleaner.
