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.

Bleeding of the gums – Gingivitis
