Dental hygiene with dental laser

A complete dental hygiene treatment includes: scaling, air flow, professional brushing and laser mouth disinfection.

• Ultrasonic scaling is designed to remove subgingival, interdental or tooth surface deposits of tartar and plaque.
• Airflow is a device that uses the action of an air jet combined with water and a baking soda powder. Thanks to the tooth whitening effect of the mildly abrasive baking soda, patients will also enjoy the polishing of sanitized tooth surfaces. Besides cleaning the teeth, airflow also provides an effective gingival massage that stimulates local blood circulation and is recommended in combination with ultrasonic scaling and professional brushing or as a single procedure, repeated every 3 months.
• Professional brushing - complements and finishes the prophylaxis session by cleaning and polishing dental surfaces.
• Laser mouth disinfection - is a new modern technology for the elimination of pathogenic bacteria and gingival regeneration. A complementary way of maintaining oral health, treatment performed with dental laser.

How does a dental laser make dental hygiene more effective?

This is a gentle and effective procedure, without anesthesia and without pain. It also helps prevent periodontal disease, even preventing them from recurring. A dental laser used in the dental hygiene procedure brings the following advantages:

• The procedure does not require anesthesia;
• The procedure lasts a maximum of 60 minutes;
• painless and non-invasive;
• a dental laser decreases bacterial spread throughout the oral cavity;
• reduces inflammation;
• biostimulating effect on gums leading to periodontal healing;
• significantly reduces the risk of periodontal disease.

The work is carried out by the specialist who easily directs the tip of a dental laser into the gingival cavity, and the light energy is focused, managing to reduce thousands of bacteria in just a few seconds. It is recommended that dental hygiene sessions be done periodically, at a maximum interval of 6 months, and for periodontitis patients or those with dental implants and crowns at 3-4 months.

What happens if we don't repeat the dental hygiene procedure

Lack of daily tooth brushing, lack of regular dental hygiene sessions lead to a significant accumulation of bacterial plaque, over time turning into an amorphous mass "petrified" on the surface of the teeth - dental tartar - the determining factor of most dental problems. When teeth are covered in tartar, gingival bleeding starts, the first sign of periodontal disease. This is followed by gum inflammation, swelling and removal from the teeth.

At this point any pre-existing caries will advance much more rapidly. And there is even the risk of new cavities appearing in areas where the gums are inflamed, where an inflammatory fluid stagnates, full of bacteria that will erode tooth enamel, leading to toothache. Fortunately, caries can also be treated with a dental laser.

A dental laser is the future of modern dentistry and patient comfort and its use has many advantages for both the patient and the dentist. If you also need a laser treatment, do not hesitate to call us at +40.318.282.274 or make an appointment online at any Life Dental Spa clinic in the country.
