Detertrusion (Dental Stone Cleaning)
This is the removal of tartar using an ultrasonic device or hand tools. It's a painless procedure, usually performed without anesthesia. We may use anesthesia in cases of sensitivity or when deep cleaning is required.
Why Is Deterrence Important?
Tartar can accumulate and cause receding gums, bad breath, gum inflammation, and bone loss. Therefore, regular dental checkups should be performed every six months.
Is Detergent Harmful?
On the contrary, not having dental cleaning done is more detrimental to our oral health. When done correctly and in a controlled manner, it doesn't harm teeth. On the contrary, it helps prevent future problems early.
