Of course it is not harmful. There is even a department based on this process. Dental calculus is the causative factor of all gingival diseases. Ultimately, it must be removed from the mouth by conscious and competent hands. However, staying away from oral hygiene practices with the logic of "however, my dentist cleans it" contributes to the accumulation of tartar after each procedure. The important thing is not to clean the tartar, but to keep the teeth clean. Because tartar cleaning is not a cosmetic job, it is a form of treatment.

Of course yes. Dental floss is one of the most helpful oral hygiene tools. Interdental areas that we cannot reach with a toothbrush are usually the starting point of all caries or gum-related diseases. Especially in crooked teeth, the situation becomes even more important. Therefore, in addition to brushing teeth, it is useful to use dental floss once a day. Note: Please consult your physician which floss is suitable for you and how to use the floss.

In fact, this issue has divided the physician community into two. In addition to physicians who do not believe in its benefits, there are colleagues who have proven that the studies yield results. As the physicians of our hospital, we accept that teeth whitening will be successful if all of the appropriate technique, appropriate equipment and appropriate notion guidance and appropriate case selection criteria are combined at the same time. Because if the definition of health is made as a state of complete physical, biological and spiritual well-being, the person who is not satisfied with the color of their teeth and considers it a problem is considered unhealthy. For the person who fits this definition, teeth whitening will be a form of treatment. However, to be admitted, the main problem of patients who come to our clinic with the expectation of teeth whitening is teeth that look dirty with coloring agents, and the treatment of this is calculus cleaning and polishing, which is a professional but very routine procedure. And experience shows that for many people this procedure is the most appropriate treatment. However, the method we call vital bleaching can be applied to people who still want their teeth to look whiter. However, patient expectations should not exceed the limits of reality. Utopian expectations cannot be met and dissatisfaction occurs in teeth whitening. In addition to this, if we give an example; It is necessary to take the risk of minimal damage as much as the damage we see from tea or the radiation we receive while watching TV, and despite everything, teeth whitening can be done in the presence of suitable conditions. And getting successful results is not difficult at all.

Excessive consumption of tea and coffee causes yellowish brown stains on the teeth. This can be perceived as an aesthetic loss. As a result, these areas become accumulation areas where dental calculus will hold, especially in patients with inadequate oral hygiene, and contribute to the formation of gingival diseases. If possible, tea and coffee consumption should be reduced, and teeth should be brushed for at least 2 minutes twice a day.
