Post-Tartar Cleaning Care: What to Watch Out For

Tartar cleaning is one of the most crucial steps in maintaining oral health. Over time, tartar can accumulate on the surface of our teeth, leading to gum diseases and tooth decay. Therefore, it is of great importance to regularly visit a dentist and undergo professional tartar cleaning.

What is Tartar?

Tartar is a hardened layer formed by the accumulation of bacterial plaque over time on the tooth surface. Since this hardened layer cannot be cleaned with brushing and flossing, professional intervention is necessary.

What is Tartar Cleaning?

Tartar cleaning is a professional procedure performed by dentists. During this process, special tools are used to clean the tartar and plaque from the surface of the teeth. It should be done regularly to maintain gum health.

Post-Tartar Cleaning Care

After the procedure, you need to pay attention to the following points. Your dentist will provide you with detailed information on this:

Avoid Hot and Cold Foods for the First 24 Hours

It is normal to feel slight sensitivity in your teeth after the procedure. This usually resolves on its own within a few days.

  • Avoid extremely hot or cold foods and drinks for the first 24 hours.
  • Use the sensitivity-reducing toothpaste recommended by your dentist to alleviate the sensitivity.

Pay Attention to Oral Hygiene

It is essential to be extra attentive to oral hygiene after tartar cleaning. Regular brushing and flossing can prevent the reformation of tartar.

  • Brush your teeth at least twice a day, in the morning and evening.
  • Use dental floss to clean the plaque and food residues between your teeth.
  • Support your oral hygiene with antibacterial mouthwashes.

Maintain a Balanced and Healthy Diet

To protect your dental health, it is important to maintain a balanced and healthy diet. Avoid sugary and acidic foods and drinks to protect your teeth.

  • Sugary foods and drinks can cause tooth decay and plaque formation. Therefore, avoid consuming such foods and drinks.
  • Strengthen your teeth by consuming calcium-rich foods like milk, cheese, and yogurt.
  • Drinking water helps clean food residues in the mouth and increases saliva production, protecting your teeth. Therefore, ensure you drink enough water.

Regularly Visit Your Dentist

You should undergo regular check-ups as recommended by your dentist after tartar cleaning. Regular check-ups enable early detection of potential issues and help maintain your dental health.

Dentists generally recommend visiting the dentist every six months. However, your dentist may suggest more frequent check-ups based on your situation.

Reduce Smoking and Alcohol Consumption

Smoking and alcohol consumption can adversely affect your dental health. They can increase tartar formation and lead to gum diseases. Therefore, reducing or completely quitting smoking and alcohol consumption is important for your dental health.

  • Smoking Cessation Programs: Participate in smoking cessation programs to overcome this habit.
  • Limit Alcohol Consumption: Limit alcohol consumption to protect both your dental and overall health.

Benefits of Tartar Cleaning

Tartar cleaning not only protects gum health but also improves overall oral health.

  • It helps prevent gum diseases.
  • Tartar and plaques can cause bad breath. Tartar cleaning can reduce bad breath.
  • Plaque and tartar on the tooth surface can lead to tooth decay. Tartar cleaning can prevent tooth decay.
  • It helps make teeth appear whiter and brighter.

Do not neglect to regularly visit your dentist to maintain your dental health!
