Hygienization
A healthy smile is the result of regular tooth brushing
and an appropriate diet.
It is important to know that brushing alone is not enough. Bacteria accumulated in the form of tartar cannot be removed by home means. A professionally performed oral hygiene may help in the fight against them.
Hygienization is a professional cleaning, removing deposits, tartar. It consists of several stages that benefit the health of the gums, and the teeth receive a whitening effect after the treatment.
Ask for the nearest available appointment for hygienists.
Why is dental hygiene necessary?
The dental hygiene treatment is a preventive action of cleaning the teeth from plaque. It inhibits the growth of bacteria and strengthens the enamel. After the treatment, the gums are less sensitive. The elimination of all deposits or discolouration from tea, coffee or smoking significantly improves the appearance of the teeth.

What is hygiene?
In addition to its unsightly appearance, tartar is also dangerous to health. It is formed by bacteria that have a negative impact on the oral cavity. This can lead to bleeding gums. If tartar persists, the condition may worsen and periodontal disease may occur. Tartar also causes hypersensitivity of the teeth and is the result of lowering of the gums and exposure of the tooth necks. It is worth knowing that the negative impact of tartar does not end only in the oral cavity. During bleeding, bacteria from the mouth travel throughout the body, intensifying other inflammatory processes that our body is fighting against.
Regular tartar cleaning allows the dentist to carry out a reliable dental check-up. It also allows for effective prophylaxis, i.e. the protection of teeth against the development of caries.
Can I eat after hygiene?
After the hygienization procedure, we recommend replacing the manual toothbrush or the tip of the electric toothbrush with a new one. This helps to reduce the level of bacteria in the mouth.
If you are experiencing sensitive gums then ask your hygienist about the ways available to combat sensitive gums.
Does hygienization hurt?
The tartar removal procedure does not hurt. During the visit, you may feel discomfort especially when the dental tool touches a sensitive area. In the offices of Stomatologia Wichlińska, the hygienists have a way of alleviating the discomfort associated with tartar removal and sandblasting. They use a water jet and, in exceptional cases, local anaesthesia is administered.
Patients who have regular hygienization procedures and visit our office at 6-8 months do not complain of pain during scaling.

It's a good time to get rid of tartar!
Once again I would like to thank Dr Jaroslaw Wichlinski, a specialist in every way, he discusses the visit, dispels fears and at the same time makes me laugh. The only one I trust, but I am afraid of the dentist like a child The doctor does an excellent job of disenchanting it (procedure performed: tooth extraction)
