At Ilzarbe Dental Clinic in Valencia, we understand the importance of maintaining a beautiful and healthy smile. Beyond our daily dental hygiene, such as brushing, flossing and mouthwashes, dental cleaning performed by a professional, also known as dental prophylaxis, is essential to prevent future oral and general health problems such as periodontics. Today, we explain what a dental cleaning consists of, what an ultrasound is (a device that is used to perform professional dental cleaning) and why it is an essential procedure in your dental health.
What is a dental cleaning or dental prophylaxis?
Dental cleaning is a preventive procedure that is performed to thoroughly clean the teeth, removing with the help of ultrasound the bacterial plaque, tartar and stains that accumulate over time. We must keep in mind that, even if our daily dental hygiene is correct, there are areas in the mouth where it is difficult for us to reach and clean properly. This is where dental prophylaxis or professional dental cleaning comes into play.
What is ultrasound in dental cleaning?
Ultrasound is a specialized dental tool for breaking down and removing tartar buildup on the teeth and slightly under the gums. It is a highly advanced technique that uses high frequency vibrations to remove tartar efficiently, without damaging tooth enamel. This procedure is fast and safe, fundamental to prevent periodontal diseases.
Important in people with pacemakers
It is important to mention that people who have a pacemaker should not undergo ultrasound treatment, as the high-frequency vibrations can interfere with the functioning of the device. In these cases, our professionals will use alternative methods to ensure effective and safe cleaning.
How much does a dental cleaning cost?
A common question we receive is: How much does a dental cleaning cost?
The cost of a dental cleaning can vary depending on different factors, the complexity of the case and whether additional procedures are required. Although we cannot provide a specific price in this article, we invite you to contact us for a personalized evaluation and a detailed quote tailored to your needs.
How often should you have your teeth cleaned?
This varies according to the individual patient’s need, but in general, it is recommended at least once a year.
