Dental tartar cleaning is the process of removing tartar, the hardened plaque and mineral deposits that accumulate on the surface of the teeth and below the gum line, using specialized tools. This process plays a fundamental role in maintaining oral and dental health, preventing gum disease, and maintaining overall oral hygiene.
Tartar can accumulate over time despite regular brushing and flossing and can only be removed by a professional dentist.

Why Should You Get Dental tartar cleaning?
Not removing tartar can lead to serious health problems in the long term. Therefore, regular cleanings are important:
- Preventing Gum Disease: Tartar causes inflammation of the gums (gingivitis). If left untreated, this condition can progress to periodontitis, a more serious condition that damages the jawbone and can lead to tooth loss.
- Removing Bad Breath: Bacterial plaque on tartar causes persistent bad breath (halitosis).
- Improving Dental Aesthetics: Tartar often mars the appearance of teeth with yellow or brown stains. Cleaning results in a brighter, healthier smile.
Treatment Process at Karaca Dental Clinic
Dentists in Alanya Furkan KARACA and Emirhan KARACA typically perform Dental tartar cleaning in the following stages:
- Examination: The dentist assesses your gum health and identifies the areas where tartar has accumulated (above and below the gumline).
- Scaling: Using ultrasonic devices, the tartar is gently removed from the surface by vibrating. You may feel a slight noise and a spray of water during this process.
- Root Planing (If Necessary): For deeper tartar beneath the gumline, special hand tools (curettage) are used.
- Polishing: All cleaned tooth surfaces are polished using special smoothing pastes and brushes. Polishing is critical to preventing new plaque buildup.
- Recommendations: At the end of the procedure, our dentists will discuss your personal oral hygiene habits and your next checkup date.
To maintain your overall oral health, it is recommended that you have regular scaling every six months unless your dentist recommends otherwise. Contact our clinic for a healthy smile!
