Professional hygiene in Dnipro
High quality services
Modern technologies
As a result of consuming food and drinks, plaque settles on the surface of the teeth. In its original form, it is soft and serves as an excellent environment for bacteria to live and multiply. If plaque is not completely removed, it will eventually accumulate and harden, turning into tartar. This leads to the inevitable destruction of enamel and the development of oral diseases: caries, periodontitis, pulpitis, etc.
The use of even the best toothbrush and floss, as well as extreme pedantry in maintaining hygiene, does not ensure complete removal of plaque. Over time, it gradually accumulates in the gaps between the teeth, on their inner side, in the gum pockets. Therefore, home care must be supplemented with professional hygiene procedures. Such services are available in our clinic!
Professional teeth cleaning and oral hygiene
The difference between professional and home cleaning is that it is aimed at problems that cannot be solved at home. For example, when plaque deposits on the back of the teeth turn into tartar, neither a toothbrush nor floss will help remove it. A dentist will perform a complete cleaning using special equipment. The main tasks of professional oral hygiene:
- Removal of persistent plaque on the teeth in the interdental space.
- Destruction of tartar.
- Removal of dark spots and edging on the base of the teeth, near the gums.
- Restoration of the smoothness and whiteness of tooth enamel.
- Prevention of the risk of caries, gingivitis and other problems.
- Eliminating unpleasant odor from the mouth.
An additional advantage (by default) is that the doctor conducts a preventive examination of the oral cavity. He detects existing and potential problems of the dentofacial system at an early stage. This prevents their exacerbation and ensures timely treatment.
Professional hygiene involves a set of procedures:
- Dental examination of the oral cavity.
- Removal of soft plaque from the surface of the teeth, from the gums and pockets.
- Elimination of dark spots and edging of the tooth bases.
- Destruction and removal of tartar (hard deposits).
- Remineralization of teeth.
- Polishing of tooth enamel.
- Professional consultation on personal hygiene issues.
Since each case is largely unique, the doctor selects a set of procedures individually, taking into account the condition of your oral cavity and the identified problems. As part of professional care, teeth cleaning is a key service. Our specialists perform it using one of two methods or a combination of them:
- Using ultrasound.
- Using the Air Flow system.
Ultrasonic cleaning (as the name suggests) is performed using ultrasound. Its vibrations are transmitted to the treated tooth surface by a special device. This leads to the destruction of fossilized deposits into small particles, which are then washed away by a water jet. This procedure is contactless. It provides effective and painless cleaning of teeth from tartar.
The Air Flow system is a technology from Switzerland. It is used to remove dark spots and soft plaque. The name “Air Flow” (which can be literally translated as “air flow”) is due to the fact that during the cleaning process a special solution is sprayed onto the surface of the teeth. It contains water and an abrasive powder with calcium carbonate. The solution destroys plaque deposits even in hard-to-reach places.
Often these procedures are combined. So, at the first stage, the doctor can focus on destroying tartar using an ultrasonic emitter. After that, the focus of attention shifts to removing unmineralized deposits. And then the final procedures are carried out: rinsing, mineralization, polishing.

The cost of professional hygiene and how often it should be done
Since comprehensive hygiene care includes a variable set of procedures (selected individually for each patient), the final price of the service is always calculated individually. First of all, the doctor examines your oral cavity and assesses the condition of your teeth and gums. Appropriate procedures are selected from the identified problems. The doctor informs you of the cost of the service before it begins.
How often should professional hygiene care be performed? This depends on the condition of your oral cavity, the effectiveness of home (independent) hygiene, eating habits, age and other factors. On average, professional cleaning is recommended at least once a year. However, individual instructions will be provided by the dentist. We remind you that it should be visited at least twice a year. Regular preventive examinations by a specialist are the key to oral health and timely provision of dental care.
Professional teeth cleaning is a useful service for both adults and children. We serve patients of different age categories. At the same time, procedures for babies are performed by pediatric dentists.
