The Benefits Of Ultrasonic Dental Cleaning

By Jeannie Chapman


You must have encountered a dental procedure whereby a dental specialist scraps your teeth with a metallic instrument. This procedure is referred to as scaling and is aimed at keeping your teeth healthy. Long time ago, this procedure was done by hand using a metallic scalar. Although it is used nowadays, this procedure is not very common. The most efficient and effective procedure is known as ultrasonic dental cleaning.

It is a painless procedure that cleans teeth thoroughly. You cannot compare it with other traditional cleaning methods like hand scaling. The method was discovered so many years ago. Initially, this method was used to clean aircraft parts but it is used in dental cleaning procedures these days. It is also a cost-effective way of cleaning teeth. Patients are required by specialists to pay very little amount of money to have their teeth extremely cleaned.

The procedure used is not complicated. The instrument used is known as a scalar. It is thin and is held against the teeth to be cleaned. Sound waves are redirected to the teeth that need to be cleaned. The work of the waves is to break up the plaque or tartar that has built up on the teeth. Water from the scalar is used to wash away the debris.

The scalar used in this particular method does not damage the enamel of your teeth. The reason is because the machine used does not come into contact with teeth directly. Sound waves are the ones used to break up the tartar and water from scalar is used to clean the loose plaque. This cannot be compared to other traditional methods like the hand-scraping method. The procedure is also painless simply because teeth are cleaned by use of vibrations.

It is an appropriate procedure for individuals with gum complications. The scalar used in this procedure is able to reach below the gum line to eliminate any kind of debris there. This is done without damaging your teeth and that is why it is good for patients suffering from gum diseases. Dentists also use the same procedure to patients suffering from periodontal diseases.

This method is much faster than the traditional hand scaling method. The small tip of a scalar is able to reach below the gum line and remove the tartar that hand scaling cannot reach. The process can take only a few minutes and your teeth appear glassy. This is actually the best way to get a great smile faster.

You should note that this method can remove heavy stains that are hard to eliminate using other traditional methods. Such stains include nicotine, tea, and coffee. Any of the mentioned hard stains can be removed very fast using ultrasonic procedure and leave your teeth extremely white.

Ultrasonic dental cleaning has a lot of benefits. The procedure is actually painless and helps those people who need their teeth cleaned take control over other teeth complications. This procedure also helps minimize teeth damage that may occur in future. Also, patients are likely to lose the fear of meeting dentists.
