Professional Dental Hygiene and Prevention in Chișinău

Dental hygiene and prevention is a set of professional procedures that remove plaque and tartar, keep the enamel and gums healthy and prevent dental disease.
‍Professional dental hygiene complements your daily home care and cleans the areas an ordinary toothbrush cannot reach properly. Regular cleaning at the dentist lowers the risk of tartar, gum inflammation and decay.
During the procedure the doctor assesses your teeth and gums, chooses the best cleaning method and explains what to pay attention to in your case.

Stages of professional dental hygiene

1

Assessing the teeth and gums

The doctor checks for plaque, tartar and signs of inflammation, to choose the right scope of cleaning.

2

Removing tartar

With ultrasound we remove the hard deposits that home care cannot take off.

3

Removing pigment and plaque

We use AirFlow (air polishing with fine powder and water) or ProphyMate (a similar air-polishing device) to remove the stains left by coffee, tea and smoking.

4

Polishing the teeth

The enamel surface becomes smoother, so plaque builds up more slowly after the procedure.

5

Recommendations after the procedure

The doctor explains how to keep the result and when to repeat the cleaning.

Why you should not postpone professional dental hygiene

Professional teeth cleaning
  • Plaque and tartar cannot be removed with a toothbrush
    Even with good home care they still build up.
  • The risk of decay and gum inflammation grows
    Problems often start without pain and unnoticed.
  • The enamel weakens
    Plaque darkens the teeth and wears the enamel down.
  • Treatment becomes more extensive
    Prevention is simpler and cheaper than treatment.

Dental hygiene FAQ

How do I know I need a professional cleaning and not just a new toothbrush?

If your teeth turn yellow quickly, plaque appears between the teeth, your gums bleed when you brush or your breath smells unpleasant, a toothbrush will not solve it. Even with regular home care, tartar and dense plaque keep building up.

Does a professional cleaning hurt?

Most people find the procedure comfortable. It can be slightly unpleasant if you have sensitive areas or inflamed gums, but strong pain is not usual. The doctor adjusts the intensity of cleaning to your condition, so as not to hurt your teeth and gums.

How often should I have a professional cleaning?

On average, once every 6 months. If you smoke, drink a lot of coffee or have gum problems, you may need it more often. The doctor will name the exact interval after the examination, because plaque forms at a different speed for everyone.

Can I have a cleaning if my gums bleed?

Yes, and in such cases it is usually exactly what is needed. Plaque and tartar keep the inflammation going, so without cleaning the gums do not heal. The doctor works carefully and explains how to look after your gums after the procedure.

Does frequent cleaning damage the enamel?

No, if the cleaning is done correctly. On the contrary, it removes the plaque that harms the enamel. After polishing the teeth are smoother, and new plaque builds up more slowly.

Can I eat and drink straight after cleaning?

Yes, but for a few hours it is better to avoid strongly staining foods and drinks: coffee, red wine, bright sauces. If the doctor applies protective products to the enamel, they will tell you separately when it is best to eat.
