Several factors influence how often we recommend dental calculus removal (e.g., tendency for tartar formation, oral hygiene technique, saliva composition, etc.). However, we recommend it every 3-6 months for everyone to prevent oral diseases. Yellowish or brown deposits on the teeth, gum bleeding during brushing or even spontaneously, and unpleasant breath can indicate the need for dental calculus removal and suggest when it's time for the procedure.

Plaque forms on the surface of the teeth during meals, which, if not removed regularly and effectively, hardens and appears as dental calculus on both the crown of the tooth and the areas below the gum line. If regular dental calculus removal, recommended every 3-6 months, is neglected, we may face uncomfortable symptoms of gum inflammation, and in severe cases, periodontal disease, which can even lead to the early loss of our teeth.

We always finish dental calculus removal with polishing to smooth out surface irregularities. In sandblasting polishing, we use finely ground, fine-grained sand to achieve a mirror-smooth surface, making it more difficult for plaque to adhere and form calculus. With the help of the sandblaster, discolorations can also be gently removed, resulting in a better aesthetic outcome compared to the traditional polishing brush and paste method.

A dental inlay is a type of filling made by a dental technician and bonded by the dentist. Due to its perfect marginal seal, it does not develop decay underneath. It is also well-suited for large, deep cavities.

The filling hardens with light, so it can be used immediately afterward, meaning you can eat and drink. However, if the filling was done under anesthesia, you should avoid eating until the numbness wears off to prevent any potential injuries.

Depending on the extent of the damage, we can restore the lost tooth material with a filling or an inlay. If the break is larger and deeper, and possibly involves the dental pulp, a root canal treatment may be necessary, and the preparation of a crown may also be considered.

During the assessment, we will examine the condition of the periodontal tissues and gums using a probing tool: we will evaluate bleeding, tooth mobility, gum recession, and detect any pockets. Afterward, we will jointly evaluate the results of the examination and discuss the necessary treatment.

Closed curettage is a deeper cleaning procedure where we remove dental calculus and inflamed tissue from below the gum line. It is performed under local anesthesia, so there should be no pain. Closed curettage helps reduce gum inflammation, thereby preventing or slowing down the loss of jawbone.

Unfortunately, periodontal disease is not a reversible condition, but with regular check-ups and treatments, its progression can be slowed. Without treatment, it will eventually lead to tooth mobility and loss. Regular monitoring and treatments can prevent this.

Fissure sealing is recommended for newly erupted permanent teeth, particularly when the grooves on the molars are quite deep. These grooves are difficult to clean properly, and bacteria can easily settle in them, leading to a higher risk of cavities. Therefore, fissure sealing is used not for treating cavities, but for preventing them.

Of course! Contrary to common belief, it is very important to take care of the health of primary teeth, as they can have a significant impact on the permanent teeth that erupt later. Decayed primary teeth should also be cleaned and filled. Without treatment, early loss of primary teeth can occur, leading to additional risks.

It is advisable to schedule a dental check-up when the primary teeth begin to erupt, but at the latest, the first screening should take place by the age of 1. This allows for checking the health and proper development of the teeth and is also a key factor in fostering a positive attitude towards the dental environment. It is important that the child associates pleasant experiences with dental professionals and check-ups, as this will influence their future dental visits and help prevent dental anxiety and fear.

If root canal treatment is necessary, the first appointment involves drilling the crown of the tooth, locating the root canals, and cleaning them. Disinfectant and anti-inflammatory material are placed in the cleaned canals, followed by a temporary filling until the permanent filling is ready. At the next appointment, the permanent root filling is placed. The complete restoration of the tooth is finished with a filling, inlay, or crown.

The treatment begins with thorough anesthesia, and we always ensure its effectiveness, so there is no need to worry about pain.
