Does a dental hygiene treatment hurt?
Teeth cleaning is an important part of oral hygiene. But a common question that many people ask is: does a professional teeth cleaning hurt? In this article, we will address this question in detail. We understand that for some people, the thought of having their teeth cleaned can cause concern or even anxiety. That's why we want to give you a clear idea of what to expect. We will go through the process of a professional teeth cleaning, explain what factors can cause discomfort and how modern techniques and approaches help to maximise comfort during treatment.
What happens during a professional dental cleaning?
During a professional dental cleaning, the dentist or dental hygienist removes plaque and tartarbuildup that has accumulated on your teeth and along the gum line. This build-up of plaque can lead to gum recession, tooth decay and periodontal disease if it is not removed regularly. The cleaning process also includes focuses on interdental spaces and tooth necks, areas that are often overlooked when brushing teeth.
After removing the hard deposits, the teeth are polished. This step is crucial as it smoothes the tooth surface, making it more difficult for new plaque to adhere. Polishing helps to seal the tooth surface and provides additional protection against future discolouration and deposits.
This careful removal of plaque and subsequent polishing are essential steps in keeping your teeth healthy and your smile bright. They form an important basis for long-term good oral hygiene and contribute significantly to the prevention of tooth and gum disease.
Is a dental hygiene treatment painful?
The question of whether a dental cleaning hurts is a concern for many patients. The answer depends on various factors, such as the sensitivity of your teeth and the condition of your gums. However, modern dental studios, such as ALPINE WHITE, use advanced techniques and instruments to make the treatment as pain-free as possible.
A key tool in this process are AIRFLOW devices and ultrasonic devices, which have been specially developed for gentle and effective tartar removal. These methods are particularly gentle as they exert less pressure on the teeth and gums, significantly reducing the risk of discomfort or pain.
Another important aspect of teeth cleaning is the careful treatment of sensitive areas such as exposed tooth necks and gum pockets. Exposed tooth necks are often particularly sensitive, which is why extreme care is taken here.
In addition to using specialised tools, as mentioned above, fluoride treatments and special polishing pastes also help to protect the tooth surface and strengthen the enamel. These measures not only increase the protection of your teeth, but also ensure a more pleasant experience during dental cleaning.
Prevention of gingivitis and periodontitis
Regular dental cleanings and dental checkups are crucial to prevent gingivitis and periodontitis. Removing plaque and tartar significantly reduces the risk of these diseases. In addition, the gums are gently massaged during cleaning, which promotes blood circulation and contributes to the health of the gums.
Furthermore, professional teeth cleaning is an important step in maintaining general dental health. Not only does it help to avoid problems such as bad breath and tooth sensitivity, but it also helps to prevent toothache caused by tooth decay or hidden dental problems. By removing stubborn plaque and tartar that can build up despite having a good oral hygiene routine at home, professional cleaning helps to preserve the natural beauty and health of your teeth. It also gives dental experts the opportunity to recognise early signs of problems and take appropriate action before they lead to serious toothache or other complications.
The role of oral hygiene at home
Effective dental care at home is just as important as regular professional dental cleanings. For daily care, we recommend regular cleanings with a high-quality fluoride-containing toothpaste and an electric toothbrush. Our ALPINE WHITE Extra White Toothpaste is ideal for this, as it not only protects against plaque, but also actively helps to whiten teeth and effectively reduces plaque and discolouration. In addition, the use of dental floss and mouthwashes is important to ensure optimum oral hygiene and to thoroughly remove soft plaque that forms during the course of the day. Choosing the right brushing technique and using specially formulated products is particularly important for sensitive teeth.
