Professional cleaning that goes beyond standard ‘teeth cleaning’

A teeth cleaning session helps maintain healthy gums and teeth, which are essential for a white smile.

Although many underestimate how useful it is, we recommend a professional cleaning every 6 months, and even more often if you suffer from specific problems, such as a predisposition to inflammation and bleeding of the gums.

Regularly undergoing a cleaning session prevents:

  • bad breath
  • inflamed and bleeding gums
  • receding gums
  • fast yellowing of teeth
  • painful caries

Not just tartar ablation

At White Smile Milano, the professional cleaning session is an advanced version of the standard ‘tartar ablation’, better known as ‘tooth cleaning’.

In fact, tartar removal is only the first and relatively easy part of the treatment. It is the step that pleases the untrained eye since it makes the teeth look less dirty, but not really clean. The ultrasonic tartar remover alone cannot remove all the dirt between the teeth. Glycine Powder and Bicarbonate Powder must also be used to achieve the desired result.

White Smile Milano’s teeth cleaning visit involves specific operations that are not carried out by low-cost dental clinics:

  • Glycine Powder is specially designed to remove bacterial build-up on the tooth collars (the part of the tooth near the gum). It is the only way to make the gum heal from the inflammation caused by tartar, even if it is slight, and return to its normal colour
  • Bicarbonate powder is very effective in removing stains that form on the tooth surface. In particular, it is useful against stains caused by smoking, tea and coffee

At White Smile Milano, the professional cleaning session features:

  • Removal of most of the tartar with ultrasound (tartar ablation)
  • Treatment with glycine powder on the collars of all the teeth, close to the gums
  • Treatment with bicarbonate powder to remove stains on the tooth enamel

Polishing teeth: teeth cleaning that lasts

After the ultrasound, glycine and bicarbonate steps, the professional cleaning is almost perfect: teeth are really clean, but still slightly rough to the touch. If left like this, they could collect dirt in a short space of time. Tooth polishing is a necessary final step to slow down the formation of new tartar and make daily cleaning more effective. White Smile Milano uses a polishing rubber cup that is passed over all tooth surfaces, to which a polishing paste is combined to increase its effectiveness. This is the only way to effectively combat receding gums, painful caries and yellowing of the teeth.

To strengthen tooth enamel against caries, at the end of the oral hygiene session, patients are always advised to also get a fluoride application. It is the best time to do so since the teeth have just been thoroughly cleaned and the fluoride will act directly on it without any barriers.

Professional teeth cleaning

n order to get the best view of the teeth to be cleaned, our dental hygienist uses professional goggles with magnifying lenses and special lighting. This allows for a better view of the most hidden surfaces. It is precisely in the inaccessible places you have a hard time reaching with your toothbrush that the greatest amount of tartar, stains and caries forms. Thanks to the use of these dental loupes, it is possible to see small whitish spots that could be an initial sign of caries, long before the caries can reach the nerve of the tooth and become painful. Damage to the tooth can thus be avoided. In order to confirm the presence of the initial stages of caries, we take a special phosphor X-ray.

If you have never had a proper cleaning session, book your first visit at White Smile Milano. During this session, we will assess the health of your teeth and gums and give your smile a new lease of life!
If, on the other hand, it has been more than 6 months since your last professional cleaning, contact us and we will schedule your next appointment as soon as possible.
