What is ultrasonic dental cleaning?
Ultrasonic cleaning (or ultrasonic prophylaxis) uses high-frequency vibrations and a gentle water spray to detach tartar and plaque stuck to the tooth, even below the gum line. It is more comfortable and precise than traditional manual scaling and respects the enamel.
After removing the tartar, we polish the surfaces to leave your teeth smooth and more resistant to new plaque buildup.
Why does it matter?
No matter how well you brush, tartar forms in hard-to-reach areas and can only be removed at the office. Regular professional cleaning:
- Prevents cavities and bad breath.
- Stops and prevents gingivitis and periodontal disease.
- Helps keep the tissues that support your teeth firm.
- Allows early detection of cavities or other issues.
Is it uncomfortable?
It is a simple, well-tolerated procedure. Some sensitive patients may notice slight discomfort, which is easily managed. Afterward, your teeth will feel noticeably cleaner and smoother.
