Dental Health

Maintaining good dental and gum health is essential for your overall well-being.

Regular dental cleanings are a crucial part of this care, helping to prevent issues such as cavities and gum diseases.

What is a Dental Cleaning?

A professional dental cleaning involves removing tartar and stains from the teeth and beneath the gums.

This procedure not only enhances the appearance of your smile but also eliminates the buildup of bacteria and plaque that can lead to more serious dental problems if left untreated.

Importance of Dental Cleanings

It is recommended to have dental cleanings at least twice a year.

During these visits, your dentist will not only clean your teeth but also examine your mouth for any irregularities, cavities, or signs of diseases such as oral cancer.

Dental Cleaning Procedure

• Scaling: Your dentist will use special tools to scrape and remove tartar and plaque from your teeth and below the gums.

  This step is crucial for removing what your toothbrush can’t reach.

• Ultrasonic Cleaning: In Costa Rica, dentists use an ultrasonic cleaner like the Cavitron®, which employs ultrasonic vibrations to dislodge and remove tartar from your teeth.

  The sound waves produced by the device help break and remove tartar effectively.

• Polishing and Fluoride Treatment: After removing the tartar, your dentist will polish your teeth with a special brush and paste, and apply fluoride for one minute to strengthen the mineral tissues of your teeth.

Baking Soda Dental Cleaning in Costa Rica

Baking soda dental cleaning offers all the benefits of a conventional cleaning, plus it uses micropulverized baking soda combined with water to remove deep stains caused by foods like coffee, soda, red wine, and tobacco.

This method leaves your teeth not only clean but also free of stains.

Benefits of Dental Cleanings

• Cavity Prevention: Eliminates plaque and tartar that cause cavities.

• Gum Disease Prevention: Reduces the buildup of bacteria that can cause periodontal diseases.

• Early Detection: Allows your dentist to detect and treat dental problems in their early stages.
