Oral hygiene treatment, dental scaling, polishing
Why is ORAL HYGIENE TREATMENT necessary during childhood?
Tartar removal and polishing performed during early childhood play a crucial role in establishing and maintaining healthy oral hygiene. During this stage of life, children’s teeth can be particularly susceptible to damage, thus early and regular dental care is essential for prevention.
Tartar is a buildup of plaque containing bacteria; it can cause gum inflammation and tooth decay if not removed in time. In the case of young children, tartar removal helps preserve the health of teeth and gums, reducing the risk of tooth decay and other oral diseases.
How is tartar removal carried out?
At Manó Dental pediatric dentistry, we utilize plaque staining for demonstration purposes: using a tablet, we color the deposited plaque, making it easily visible to the naked eye, indicating areas that require more thorough cleaning.
During the oral hygiene treatment, we remove the harmful tartar from teeth, then polish the tooth surface to a shiny, smooth finish. Following this, we emphasize the importance of regular oral care to our young patients and teach them how to brush their teeth properly.
