Tooth plaque, together with saliva, begins a process of mineralization, which leads to buildup. Calculus (also known as tartar) gathers on the root of the tooth, causing inflammation of the gums and damage to bone tissue.
Removing calculus begins with an ultrasound device, and ends with a soda wash, which removes the last of the buildup and polishes the surface of the teeth. Cleaning does not cause damage to the teeth, although the process will remove a natural protective layer which recovers in a matter of hours. The procedure can cause discomfort, and local anesthesia is used when necessary. At the end of the procedure, the teeth are covered with fluoride gel, providing for the recovery of tooth enamel. After the procedure, your teeth will feel extremely smooth and are visually several tones lighter.
In case of mild calculus, buildup a lighter version of soda wash is used – pearl wash, which provides a nice glossy finish in addition to the removal of tooth plaque. This procedure brings out the natural tone of one’s teeth and makes them shine.
After the procedure, it is advised not to consume colorful foods and beverages like coffee and red wine on the same day, as teeth are more receptive to a color change. We also advise you not to smoke during the first two or three hours following the treatment.
