Bleaching With Laser
Good oral hygiene is extremely important to overall health, and teeth cleaning plays a very important role in that respect on a regular basis. At Turuncu Clinic, we understand that clean teeth not only add to a beautiful smile but may also play a very important role in preventing dental issues that range from cavities to particular gum diseases.
Teeth cleaning is widely referred to as dental prophylaxis, a dental procedure performed to remove plaque, tartar, and stains from teeth.
At Turuncu Clinic, it is our commitment to offer nothing but the best dental care toward keeping good health for our patients. Let us delve into the essentials of teeth cleaning and why it should be something that is not taken lightly.
What is Teeth Cleaning?
Dental treatment for cleaning plaque and tartar from the surfaces of the teeth is known as teeth cleaning. Plaque is a soft, sticky film of bacteria that develops on the teeth, whereas tartar is hardened plaque, which can only be cleaned by a dental professional. Regular cleaning of teeth helps in maintaining good oral health and preventing grave dental problems.
Importance of Regular Cleaning of Teeth
Good oral health involves the regular cleaning of teeth. Some of the advantages associated with teeth cleaning include:
Cavity Prevention: Cleaning removes plaque and tartar; hence it reduces the risk of cavities or tooth decay.
Prevention of Gum Diseases: Such regular cleanings prevent gum diseases, which lead to loss of teeth if not treated.
Fresh Breath: The cleaning by a professional will remove the bacteria and trapped particles that cause bad breath.
Aesthetic Improvement: Clean teeth look whiter and healthier, adding to the beauty of a smile.
The Process of Teeth Cleaning
The process of teeth cleaning may usually follow the given steps:
Initial Inspection: Your dentist or hygienist will first examine your teeth and gums for any signs of issues.
Removal of Plaque and Tartar: Using special tools, the hygienist will remove plaque and tartar from your teeth-especially those very unreachable ones.
Polishing: After cleaning, your teeth will be polished with a special paste removing the surface stains and making them shine.
Fluoride Treatment: A fluoride treatment may be applied to strengthen the tooth enamel and also help prevent cavities.
How Often Should You Get Your Teeth Cleaned?
Most dental experts will advise you to clean your teeth every six months. Still, some may require cleaning after a shorter period of time based on different dental conditions. For instance, if the patient has periodontal disease or is prone to cavities, it will be better to check with your dentist for how frequent you should go.

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental process designed to enhance the brightness and reduce the coloration of teeth. This minimally invasive treatment aims to eliminate stains and discoloration, resulting in a visibly whiter and brighter smile. It involves lightening the teeth color without causing harm to the tooth surface, typically requiring multiple sessions using specialized whitening gels.
Laser teeth whitening is a dental procedure where bleaching occurs through the application of a whitening gel followed by laser beams. The high-intensity light activates the whitening gel, effectively removing stain molecules from the teeth.
Pros Achieve whiter teeth after a few sessions. Quick and straightforward procedure. No pain experienced during the dentist-performed office bleaching. The tooth whitening gel is non-damaging to the tooth surface. Cons Results from teeth whitening are not permanent. Increased tooth sensitivity may occur post-procedure.
Individuals aged 16 and above with good health conditions are suitable candidates for teeth whitening.
The most recommended and secure choice is office bleaching, particularly through laser-assisted in-office whitening procedures, which prove to be highly effective in teeth whitening.
Professional tooth whitening is considered safe, posing no harm to the tooth surface or gums.
The duration of teeth whitening results varies based on individual habits, with optimal outcomes potentially lasting up to 3 years.
Common methods of tooth whitening include home bleaching and office bleaching (considered the safest option). Tooth whitening kits also exist as an alternative, but the results may differ for each procedure.
Following teeth whitening procedures, it is essential to avoid acidic and pigmented foods and beverages for 48 hours. Opting for light-colored foods and drinks is advisable, refraining from consuming items such as wine, coffee, tea, sugary foods, cocoa, lemon, cherry, pomegranate, and raspberry during this period.
