What is teeth cleaning?<\/h3><\/div>
\n\n

This treatment involves removing the dental biofilm, also known as plaque, as well as stains that form on teeth.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the traditional procedure, some sonic or ultrasonic instruments are usually used to remove tartar deposits. Each tooth is polished individually with a slightly abrasive paste to remove stains and bacterial plaque. Finally, fluoride is applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We use our new Air Flow equipment and Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT), both developed by Electro Medical Systems (EMS), a Swiss company that is a leader in medical technology and that specializes in innovative solutions in the areas of dentistry, urology and pain management. EMS is recognized in the dental world for its development of the GBT protocol (Guided Biofilm Therapy) <\/strong>and for its advanced prophylaxis devices such as AirFlow\u00ae, PerioFlow\u00ae y Piezon\u00ae<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of cleaning is to prevent gingival inflammation (gingivitis), treat gingivitis, and\/or prevent it from progressing to more serious gum disease where it begins to affect the bone that supports the tooth (periodontitis<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

What is the difference between a teeth cleaning and a deep teeth cleaning?<\/h3><\/div>
\n\n

A regular dental cleaning differs from a deep cleaning in that the regular cleaning is the cleaning that is carried out every 6 months in healthy patients in a preventive way. This is done above the gum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A deep dental cleaning is one that is done in patients with periodontal disease (periodontitis)<\/a>, where calculus and plaque deposits are below the gum.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
