Dental plaque is a soft deposit on the teeth, and when it mineralizes, tartar is created, i.e. hard plaque on the teeth.
The removal of hard and soft dental plaque in the office is a painless procedure. First, the hard deposits on the teeth, i.e. tartar, are removed with the help of an ultrasonic device, above and below the gingiva, and specialized curettes are also used if necessary.
Soft deposits, i.e. dental plaque, are removed using a polishing paste. This procedure is done every 6 months, if necessary and earlier.
Gingivitis, i.e. bleeding gums, is the first sign of inflammation of the supporting apparatus of the teeth.
Although poor oral hygiene, smoking and diet are listed as risk factors, periodontopathy also has genetic predispositions.
Gingivitis therapy includes ultrasonic cleaning of tartar, manual curettage of periodontal pockets and polishing to remove soft deposits, the ultimate goal of treatment is to prevent the progression of periodontopathy and prolong the life of teeth
There are several treatments to treat periodontal tissue.
